A majority of adults prefer practical gifts over fun toys, according to a Lego survey.
We have a special treat for you today - a heartwarming story about how a group of creative Lego fans have brought some excitement to the holiday season. As we all know, Christmas is just around the corner and that means adults and children alike are busy making their wish lists. But according to a recent study by Lego, it seems that the grown-ups are feeling a bit uninspired compared to their kids' choices.

It turns out that 52% of British adults consider their lists to be "boring" and "practical", while 17 seems to be the age when people stop asking for anything interesting. On the other hand, children are requesting toys, video games, and clothes - much more exciting than candles and socks, which seem to be popular among adults. In fact, 80% of adults wish their lists were more fun and 63% admit that they haven't been surprised by a gift in years. It's no wonder that 37% of them resort to asking for "boring essentials" from their friends and family.

But fear not, because Lego has come to the rescue! They have enlisted the help of fan communities to create Lego versions of these mundane presents, in hopes of making them more appealing. And boy, did they succeed! From a toy-dispensing rainbow vacuum cleaner to a talking robot coffee machine and laser-shooting cat slippers, these models are not only fun but also incredibly creative. And the best part? They were all made by adult Lego fans in the UK, using standard Lego pieces that you might already have or can easily buy for Christmas.

But the creativity doesn't stop there. There's also a flying, magical watering can and self-reading books that project their story onto a TV. It's a bit disheartening to think that kids and adults alike might find receiving books as a present boring, but these Lego versions certainly add a fun twist to them. And the best part is that none of these designs can be bought as official sets, so you can let your imagination run wild and create your own version using any Lego pieces you have or plan to get for Christmas.

In recent years, Lego has become more than just a toy for kids - it has become a beloved hobby for adults as well. And while there are plenty of sets aimed at older fans, they tend to be on the pricier side. So why not get creative and make your own models? Not only is it a fun and creative activity, but it can also save you some money. And let's not forget one of the best things about Lego - even if someone else receives a set for Christmas, everyone can join in on the fun and help build it.

We hope this heartwarming story has inspired you to get creative with your Christmas gifts this year. And who knows, maybe you'll even come up with your own Lego-ified version of a "boring" present. If you do, we'd love to hear about it! Share your story, videos, or pictures with us by emailing or calling our entertainment team, or by visiting our Submit Stuff page. We can't wait to see what you come up with! Happy building!
