10 best LEGO sets for couples

One of the most beautiful parts of building a new LEGO set is tackling it alongside someone else. If that person happens to be your significant other, it can even double as a wonderful date night or bonding experience. These 10 LEGO sets, in particular, are the best when it comes to offering ideas, themes, difficulty, or projects couples can enjoy together.

Tranquil Garden

• Price: $109.99
• Pieces: 1363

This particular LEGO set is like a little glimpse of a tranquil Japanese garden in a corner of your home. The completed set looks great with the various cherry blossom trees and stunning a bridge. This is one of the most relaxing LEGO sets in existence, especially with the surprisingly great water pieces. Plus, there are other sets that pair nicely with it.

Heart Ornament

• Price: $12.99
• Pieces: 254

This Heart Ornament set is one of the best LEGO-themed Valentine’s Day gifts and date ideas. It only has a handful of pieces compared to others, so it shouldn’t take long to make. However, the end result is an extravagant heart-shaped ornament with pink and red flowers throughout. This doubles as a great set to build together and a decoration for your home.

Animal Crossing Nook’s Crannie & Rosie’s House

• Price: $74.99
• Pieces: 535

If you’re an Animal Crossing fan like me, there are plenty of LEGO sets to choose from. But the one set I like the most for couples is the Nook’s Crannie & Rosie’s House one. This particular build lets you craft Tom Nook’s signature shop plus one of the most popular villager’s houses with Rosie. One person could tackle one building while the other completes the other, or you can work on it together.

Lovebirds Set

• Price: $12.99
• Pieces: 298

This is one of the most creative LEGO sets I’ve seen for couples since it deals with two intricately detailed birds. These birds are in love with one another, noted by the neat heart-shaped accessory between them. The little subtle details like the tiny hearts on the base of the set add a nice touch, plus it is one of the more affordable sets out there for couples to build together.

Flower Bouquet

• Price: $59.99
• Pieces: 756

Real flowers are so cliché, so you can surprise your significant other with a gorgeous set of LEGO flowers if you want to try something a bit unique. While you can certainly build this particular set together as a couple, it would be sweet to present the already completed bouquet to your partner — perhaps even with a vase to stick it in.

A-Frame Cabin

• Price: $179.99
• Pieces: 2082

This particular LEGO set feels like a tiny slice of a cabin retreat in brick form. The stunning cabin is a great centerpiece, giving off the perfect lakeside vacation vibes. It even comes with some autumn-themed trees in the background and a canoe boat to set the scene perfectly. This gets even better if you can build this in front of a fireplace with the mood just right.

Ship in a Bottle

• Price: Roughly $164.99 (Amazon)
• Pieces: 962

There is a lot of charm about this particular build, which tasks you with creating a detailed ship. But the set doesn’t stop with just the ship. In fact, you take that ship and place it within the included bottle accessory once done. This doubles as a solid decoration for your home. You can even add your own spin on it like including a hidden message inside the bottle for someone to find someday.

Romantic Valentine Picnic

• Price: $53 (Amazon)
• Pieces: 126

Picture Valentine’s Day rolling around and you ask your significant other for a nice picnic at the park. You bring along food, drinks, and all of the usual suspects but you also include this simple but adorable Valentine Picnic LEGO set. As one of the sets on this list with the least amount of pieces, it can make for a fun activity to do outdoors while on an actual picnic date.

Botanical Garden

• Price: $79.99
• Pieces: 1072

This is by far one of the most gorgeous LEGO sets for a couple to do together. The transparent outside of the building lets you see into the beautiful Botanical Garden set and appreciate all of the various elements inside, such as the tree and butterflies. It even comes with a couple of outdoor features, such as a picnic-like part, to make it look even more appealing.

Disney’s Up House

• Price: $59.99
• Pieces: 598

Up is one of the best Disney animated movies of all time, especially with the emotional start. If you don’t mind a tearjerker of a LEGO set, this build is an unforgettable one. It lets you lovingly recreate the house from Up faithfully. It’s only a shame it includes Carl but not his wife.
