For anyone that's left getting Valentine's Day gifts to the last minute, or were just waiting for the perfect nerdy Valentines gift to show up, I present these Lego Roses for your consideration. You can currently get these rather beautiful flowers for their cheapest ever price, and they'll arrive by tomorrow.
More specifically, you can grab the Lego Roses set for £39.99 at Amazon instead of the usual £54.99. That's a record low price and, crucially, the kit will turn up on Valentine's Day so long as you have Amazon Prime membership and you order before the cutoff around 11pm tonight.
These aren't the only Lego flowers on offer, though. Want to shake things up? Check out the full Lego Botanical Collection at Amazon. It's also worth noting that I've seen these Lego Roses for £37 at Asda... but they won't be ready for click and collect for up to three days, and they cost over £3 for delivery that might not even arrive in time. As such, I'd recommend sticking with Amazon.
So, should you actually buy the Lego Bouquet of Roses? Having seen these in person, I'd argue that they look fantastic. The plastic shells for petals and a moulded centre make them very convincing, and the addition of small, white-flowered sprigs breaks up what could otherwise be a fairly one-note design. The roses are in various states of unfurling too, with four in full bloom, four, blossoming, and four in bud.
The only downside is one shared by many other Lego flower sets - it doesn't include a vase or anything to put the kit in once it's finished. While this is easily fixable, it's a shame that this isn't a 'complete' set that can stand on its own.
Still, it can be mixed with other Lego flower arrangements or added to its own vase for relatively little. These flowers aren't going to die within a few days like the real deal would either - they, like your love, is (hopefully) eternal.
Want something slightly more left-field? Do what I did for Valentine's Day last year. My wife always wanted Lego flowers or plants, but adores Super Mario. The obvious solution? Grabbing the Lego Piranha Plant, which is currently £39.99 at John Lewis rather than £57.99.
