It’s February, and you know what that means — the season of love is here, with Valentine’s Day just around the corner. Some of you might already be planning the perfect gift or date for your partner on 14 February, while others may still be wondering what to do. Fret not — we’ve got your back here at Loot A Brick.
From AFOLs to AFOLs, LEGO makes a surprisingly meaningful and thoughtful Valentine’s Day gift. Beyond just bricks, LEGO carries memories, creativity, and personal stories. Whether you’re celebrating with a partner, family, or close friends, here are some LEGO-inspired gift and date ideas to help you celebrate love in your own unique way.
Gift Your Partner a Minifig of Their Favourite Character

In one of our previous blog posts, we mentioned that LEGO minifigs make wonderful gifts — and Valentine’s Day is no exception.
Gifting your partner a minifig of their favourite character, whether fictional, historical, or even a celebrity, is a subtle yet romantic way to show that you pay attention to the little details about them. It shows that you remember what they love, what excites them, and what matters to them.
At Loot A Brick, we carry a wide range of minifigs across different series and fandoms. Who knows — you might just find the character that instantly makes your partner smile.
Customise Minifigs to Commemorate Special Milestones
Looking for something even more personal? Consider creating a customised minifig that commemorates an important milestone in your relationship.
This could represent:
- Your first date
- Your first kiss
- The first movie you watched together
- A proposal or wedding moment
Custom minifigs turn memories into something tangible — a keepsake your partner can treasure for years to come. One memorable example was a LEGO replica built by us commissioned by a couple based on the very first house they bought together, gifted as a surprise for their 30th wedding anniversary. These are the kinds of stories LEGO can help bring to life. We do customised minifig commissions at Loot A Brick too, hence hit us up if you are hoping for one!
Build MOCs and Create Themes Together

If you’re looking for a Valentine’s Day date idea rather than a gift, why not build something together?
Building MOCs or creating themed minifigure collections is a fun and meaningful bonding activity. It encourages communication, collaboration, and creativity — all while spending quality time together. You can even design something inspired by a shared memory or milestone, turning the activity itself into a new cherished moment in your relationship.
Sometimes, the best memories aren’t bought — they’re built together, brick by brick.
Conclusion: Love Comes in Many Forms
Valentine’s Day isn’t just for romantic couples. It’s also a time to celebrate love in all its forms — love for family, friends, and even yourself. The gift and activity ideas above work just as beautifully for a close friend, a sibling, or someone who has always been there for you.
At Loot A Brick, we believe LEGO is more than just a hobby. It’s a way to tell stories, preserve memories, and express love in a creative and heartfelt way. Whether you’re gifting a minifig, customising a keepsake, or building something meaningful together, LEGO offers countless ways to celebrate this season of love.
So this Valentine’s Day, skip the ordinary — and create something truly memorable. ❤️🧱
