Gifts for LEGO Lovers

LEGO fans fall into two camps: kids who build, break, and rebuild, and adults who build a set once and give it pride of place on a shelf. Adult fans usually have a wish list and strong opinions about which sets they already own, so asking is not cheating. If you cannot ask, a brand-new release or something to store and display their collection is the safe bet.
