The final stretch of holiday shopping sneaks up faster than you expect. One minute you feel ahead, the next you are staring at shipping cutoffs and wondering how you missed half your list. I always end up circling back to LEGO in these moments. It is one of those rare gifts that works for kids and adults without feeling like a fallback. You see it when toddlers push trains around the floor, when kids reenact Mario races in the living room, when teens obsess over fandom builds, and when adults proudly position finished sets on their shelves.
I couldn't believe how many sets this year tie into gaming and entertainment culture. Star Trek, Mario Kart, Bluey, The Goonies, and Wednesday all show up in LEGO form this season. You can still find these across major retailers and on LEGO.ca in time for the big day, which makes the timing even better for late shoppers.
So if you are looking at your list thinking you need something fun, practical, and easy to give, this guide rounds up sets for all ages. Whether it is a preschooler discovering pretend play, a school age gamer, a teen living their fandom era, or an adult eyeing a display build, you might find the perfect last box to wrap here.

Gifts for Kids 4 and Under
This group just wants something they can poke, push, and giggle through. Duplo always hits because it is chunky, simple, and encourages pretend play without needing parents hovering over them.
LEGO DUPLO Town Interactive Adventure Train
Price: $79.99 CAD | Pieces: 57 | Age: 2+
This is ideal for younger builders. The loop track is over 27 inches wide and the train includes lights, sounds, destination builds, four characters, and action bricks that trigger responses. It even supports remote driving through the LEGO DUPLO Interactive Trains app and lets kids record sounds for pretend play.
LEGO Bluey Bluey’s Family House
Price: $89.99 CAD | Pieces: 382 | Age: 4+
If you have a Bluey fan in the family, this modular playhouse hits all the familiar rooms. It includes detachable sections for the bedrooms, kitchen, bathroom, and a throne room, plus a garden tree. You get Bluey, Bingo, Bandit, and Chilli figures with lots of accessories that will be instantly recognizable to kids.
Gifts for Kids 12 and Under
These kids are right in that sweet spot where gaming meets hands on fun. Interactive builds go over really well since they mimic the digital worlds they already love.
LEGO Super Mario Mario Kart Interactive Mario and Standard Kart
If you know someone who already loves Mario Kart, this set turns drifting and shell flings into a physical game. It includes an interactive Mario figure that reacts to LEGO plates, a standard kart with drifting action, a winner’s circle, and digital reward triggers. Kids can defeat Bob-omb and Thwomp with motion feedback and visual effects.
LEGO Wicked Glinda and Elphaba Visit Munchkinland
Price: $89.99 CAD | Pieces: 744 | Age: 9+
This one is a good pick for kids who love storytelling. The two-floor cottage features interior rooms, a removable sink, teapot and cups, bathroom fixtures, Glinda’s bubble effect, and Elphaba’s broomstick. You also get three minidolls based on Wicked.
Gifts for Teens
Once they reach this age, they gravitate toward builds they can show off. Fandom sets and display pieces suddenly matter a lot more.
LEGO Ideas The Goonies
Price: $379.99 CAD | Pieces: 2,912 | Age: 18+
This one hits nostalgia hard. The diorama includes the Fratellis hideout, basement scenes, cave routes, Willy’s treasure room, and the pirate ship ruins. There are twelve minifigures and interactive traps like a fireplace entrance, organ puzzle, trapdoor key release, and Sloth’s mast slide. Teens and collectors who love retro adventure movies will really enjoy this one.
LEGO Wednesday Morticia’s Cottage
Price: $129.99 CAD | Pieces: 1,002 | Age: 10+
This two-floor, six-room cottage includes a séance room, kitchen, living room, bathroom, and a buildable family car. You also get Wednesday, Morticia, Bianca, and Lurch minidolls with scene accessories. Fans of the Wednesday series will recognize a lot here.
Gifts for Adults
Adults might not ask for LEGO outright, but give them something that taps nostalgia or looks good on a shelf and it lands every time.
LEGO Icons Star Trek U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D
This is the kind of set you give someone who loves deep build projects or who grew up watching The Next Generation. The U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D measures over 23.5 inches long and includes a detachable command saucer, warp nacelles, shuttlepods, an angled display stand, and a stat block tile. You also get nine minifigures with themed accessories, which makes this more than just a showpiece. It becomes a Star Trek playset and display model in one.
LEGO Botanicals Bouquet of Pink Roses
Price: $79.99 CAD | Pieces: 789 | Age: 18+
This one continues to surprise with how popular floral sets are for collectors, desk décor fans, and people who just enjoy relaxing builds. The bouquet includes twelve brick roses across blooming and budding stages, plus sprigs of baby’s breath. Three instruction books allow shared building. You can also combine this with other Botanical sets for a bigger arrangement.
Final Gift Notes Before You Wrap Everything Up
If you made it this far and are still hunting for that “one last gift,” I get it. Every year I hit the same point where I’m checking delivery dates and second-guessing whether the gifts I picked actually feel special. LEGO tends to be my panic button that somehow always works out. Once the box is opened and you see someone immediately sorting pieces or planning their build spot, it suddenly feels thoughtful rather than last-minute.
Maybe you’ve got a Mario racer at home who will light up flipping Bob-omb across a track, a Wednesday fan who quietly assembles Morticia’s cottage, or someone who will not admit how badly they want the Enterprise sitting on a shelf. Whoever you’re shopping for, this year’s sets genuinely cover a lot of personalities.
So if you’re staring at your list tonight with a mug in hand thinking “I just need one more thing that lands well,” you might be covered here. These builds aren’t just toys. They turn into stories, little projects, and display pieces that stick around long after the wrapping paper is gone.
