Father’s Day 2022 – a LEGO Gift Guide for every budget

June 13, 2022 By Jay Ong 1 Comment

For those of you in the US, UK and most of the world, just a heads up – but Father’s Day is coming up on Sunday, the 19th of June!

Don’t panic if you’re in Australia… as we for some reason celebrate Father’s Day on the 4th September this year.

If your dad or significant father-figure in your life is into LEGO, obviously, nothing would make him happier than a fresh new box of LEGO! As a dad, trust me, we have enough socks, and no one is going back into the office, much less wearing ties.

I asked some of you via Facebook for suggestions, and here are some of my personally curated picks of the best LEGO Father’s Day gifts.

I’ve broken the down into different price categories, so depending on your budget, you can see some of my favourite picks below, and even a section for Dads who may already have every set they want/own, with books and puzzles that might be a more interesting and thoughtful gift than sets.

Some sets are even on sale from Amazon.com, so be sure to compare prices!

  • LEGO gift suggestions under US$50
  • LEGO gift suggestions under US$75
  • LEGO gift suggestions $100 and over
  • Non-LEGO LEGO gifts

You can of course check out some of the new June 2022 releases, although most aren’t available in North America.

This also serves as a pseudo-purchase guide for the upcoming 40567 Forest Hideout gift with purchase, which will be available from 15-22 June 2022, and will be free with purchases over US$150 from LEGO.com, and in-store.

15 June might cut it a little close to Father’s Day… so you might want to head in-store to take advantage of this GWP offer.

It’s also a great time to pick sets up, before many of these inevitably go up in price. In case you missed it, LEGO will be increasing their prices from August 2022 onwards, so I recommend jumping on these if want to avoid paying more in just a few months time.

If you’re planning on making any purchases, please consider using these affiliate links in the articles – I may receive a small commission with each purchase which helps support running the blog! Thank you in advance!

Today is the 15th and final day of the Lunar New Y Today is the 15th and final day of the Lunar New Year, also known as Chap Goh Mei (15th night in the Hokkien dialect), Yuan Xiao Jie, Chinese Valentine's Day or the  Lantern Festival! 🏮

It marks the end of the Lunar New Year celebrations, and is celebrated in a myriad of ways, such as eating tangyuan (glutinous rice balls) over dinner, and visiting temples to pray good fortune for the coming year.

The celebration was famously depicted in 80107 Spring Lantern Festival, designed by @justinramsden and released in 2020.

Here's my Classic Space take on Chap Goh Mei as we conclude the Lunar New Year festivities!

Happy Chap Goh Mei to everyone celebrating!

Mia is all grown up now! Here's a comparison of Mia is all grown up now! 

Here's a comparison of Mia, from her very first minidoll on the left (from 3188 Heartlake Vet), to her last appearance as a teenager in 41717 Mia's Wildlife Rescue, and on the right, as an adult in 41730 Autumn's House!

She's now a mum to Autumn, and it's kinda surreal seeing her grow like this.

FYI: LEGO Friends had a bit of a redesign in 2018, which is why Mia's appearance changed slightly.

#lego #legofriends #lego2023 #legoreviews #legonews #heartlakecity #legoleaks #rlfm #41730 #reviews #minidolls
For my next @LEGO Friends review, here's a look at For my next @LEGO Friends review, here's a look at 41730 Autumn's House, which features Autumn and Mia's home, a delightfully rustic ranch-style home!

It blends the old and new, with Autumn and a now grown-up Mia, and amazingly, has kept the same US$69.99 price-point as all the other Friends main character houses. 

Who knew that Friends character homes were inflation-proof?

Great value-packed set overall, and you can read my full review on the blog via link in bio!

Special thanks to LEGO for sending this review set over!
