Preorder the new Lego Tiny Plants set: Available for preorder at Amazon and Lego, the Tiny Plants set costs $49.99 and launches on Dec. 1, 2023.


Gardening through the winter comes with some challenges. From snow storms to frigid overnight lows, the joy of gardening tends to hibernate during the winter. But this year could be different thanks to the new Lego set that launches on Dec. 1.

If you’re shopping for your favorite gardener this holiday season, pre-orders have begun on the Lego Tiny Plants set at both Amazon and Lego’s online store for $49.99. With the release set for Dec. 1, the Tiny Plants launch perfectly aligns with holiday gift-giving season.

Featuring 758 pieces, the Tiny Plants Building Set has nine flora displays, each nestled into a buildable terracotta pot. The plants span easy, medium, and advanced levels of building so there’s something for every type of Lego fan in the set, although Lego recommends the set for those aged 18 and up.

The plants include projects from an arid environment, the tropics, and carnivorous species. Spend your winter break building a prickly pear or pincushion cacti without getting pricked. You can also opt for the Venus fly trap or pitcher plant. If you prefer a trip to the tropics, the jade plant and false shamrock are your builds. The tallest of the Tiny Plants measures over 6.5 inches tall and four inches wide. The new set is part of the Lego Botanical Collection which uses elements of plastic made from sugarcane.

If you have an avid gardener on your shopping list or you’d like to add a pop of color to your winter decor, the latest Lego Tiny Plants set is available for pre-order with a release date set for Dec. 1.

Remember: The best gifts for men should make the guy you’re buying a gift for feel seen. They should make him feel like you truly get him.

No two guys are the same, and not every man spends their days dreaming of whiskey stones. (In fact, we’d guess that very few of them do.) Traditional male stereotypes are a thing of the past, y’all, and it’s time we started embracing that fact when we’re looking for gifts.

Before you click “buy” on something that will definitely require a gift receipt, let us take the wheel and show you some options that are sure to make an impression on whomever that lucky guy is. (Need more specific gift ideas? Check out this gift guide for the father figure in your life, or this one if you’re shopping for your boyfriend.)

Whether he’s into kitchen accessories, fashion-forward athleisure, self-care products, or something more eccentric, we’re confident that he’ll love the picks on this list.
