These Lego Botanicals sets might be the perfect Valentine’s Day gift — shop my favorite deals from $12.99

Make no mistake – I'm a big Lego fan and build sets across all kinds of themes. But in the past few years, beyond Technic, Star Wars, and Disney, the Botanicals line has become something of a phenomenon. Whether it's a miniature bonsai tree, an elegant orchid, or a vibrant bouquet, these are some of Lego's most creative and best-designed sets.

And with Valentine's Day just 12 days away, Lego flowers make an almost perfect gift. They can be a collaborative activity if you want; they never need watering, and they last forever. The Bouquet of Roseswon'twon't won't lose its punchy red color and offers a fun, brick-built twist on the classic dozen. I'm also especially fond of the Botanicals Mini Orchid – currently down to just $23.95 on Amazon – which is a relaxing, enjoyable build with great color and a finished look that genuinely resembles the real thing.

The Flowering Cactus is another standout, featuring a lovely blue pot you'll assemble alongside an iconic green cactus topped with a vibrant pink bloom. If you're after something a little more classic, the equally charming Succulents set is well worth a look. I've also included a forthcoming Botanicals release that's already sitting in my cart – Lego is finally tackling sunflowers in the form of a five-piece bouquet.

So whether you're shopping for a special someone or treating yourself this Valentine's Day, Lego's Botanicals sets are sure to delight. And since you'll save on plant care, you might as well treat yourself to a few extra bricks – or maybe some chocolate, too.
