Lego is no longer just for little ones. In this modern age of adult colouring books and mindfulness, having a little hands-on, screen-free craft is an act of self-care well worth your time.
For those looking for a discount on their next set, the retailer Very not only stocks an incredible amount of the stuff – but more often than not, they’re discounted too.

To help you invest in some you-time ahead of the seasonal shift to autumn, I’ve picked out the five best Lego sets available on Very right now. Whether you put together after a warm dinner on a chilly evening or assemble on a slow Sunday afternoon, these are the best Lego deals to shop now.
Lego peace lily flower decor set
If I’m being completely honest, the Lego Botanicals range is a personal favourite, so this is a somewhat biased entry to begin with. Lasting a hell of a lot longer than a real Peace Lily (especially one under my care), the Lego variation is an immersive craft set designed for adults and enjoyed and displayed for as long as you like. The gift that keeps on giving.
Lego Formula 1 Ferarri car
This replica Lego set of a Ferrari race car will take pride of place in any Formula 1 lover’s home once built. The car is designed with plenty of attention to detail, including suspension, steering and adjustable spoiler.
Lego Time Machine from Back to the Future
Among botanicals, landmarks, and just about every conceivable wildlife scenario, Lego also pays homage to emblematic movie productions to create buildable merchandise from your favourite films. This, the DMC DeLorean set from Back to the Future, lets fans build, display and recreate action from the iconic franchise – plus, it comes with your very own minifigure Doc Brown and Marty McFly.
Lego Bridge over a Pond of Water Lilies
If something classical is a little more your speed, don’t worry, Lego caters to that too. For fans of fine art, look no further. One of Lego’s most challenging, this Claude Monet inspired building set has been created in collaboration with The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York to honour and reimagine the rich textures and beauty of his Impressionist style using Lego bricks and elements. And, one finished, this Monet wall art comes with a hanging mechanism on the back to display it proudly wherever you like.
Lego 3 in 1 Sea Animals: Beautiful Dolphins
Lego isn’t all cultural references though, with sometimes just a simple wildlife scene cutting the mustard just as much as Monet. Suitable not just for adults but for anyone over nine years of age, this 3in1 dolphins set builds a dynamic model comprised of an adult and baby dolphin toy with posable features, riding a cresting wave above coral. Both calming and fun, what could go wrong with such a serene scene? Provided you follow the instructions, that is.
