If you know a very little builder wanting to take their first steps into the world of LEGO, then the perfect place for them to start is with DUPLO. An even more perfect place for them to start is with 10886 My First Car Creations.

This collection of the larger DUPLO bricks includes three sets of wheels and a whole host of bricks to help little ones customise and create their own car. The low price point of £14.99 also makes this a great and inexpensive gift to indoctrinate – sorry, introduce – a young one to the world of LEGO.

For the arts and crafts lover:

41907 Desk Organiser

Price: £17.99 / $19.99 / €19.49 Pieces: 405 Available: Now

This year saw the launch of the LEGO Dots theme, allowing fans to customise their models with patterns and prints galore. If you know anyone particularly crafty, 41907 Desk Organiser offers a brilliant way to brighten up their workspace and keep their tools sorted.

Not only does this model come with instructions for a desk organiser, but the included sorting tray keeps the bricks safe, should the new builder decide to experiment. What’s more, the low price of £17.99 for 405 pieces presents excellent value, making it the perfect gift for an arts and crafts fan.

For the Disney lover:

43188 Aurora’s Forest Cottage

Price: £34.99 / $39.99 / €38.98 Pieces: 299 Available: Now

If you’ve got a Disney lover in your life, why not start their LEGO collection with a set inspired by a classic tale? Sleeping Beauty has become a staple of the Disney catalogue, and its characters are recognisable to any Disney fan.

43188 Aurora’s Forest Cottage features an open-ended model and two iconic mini-dolls to kickstart a LEGO Disney collection. And it provides a challenging build for younger fans, with Aurora’s cottage, a moving water wheel and an additional bridge. Additionally, the Maleficent and Aurora mini-dolls provide a great opportunity for fans to weave their own Disney tale.

For the superhero fan:

76152 Avengers Wrath of Loki

Price: £54.99 / $59.99 / €58.48 Pieces: 223 Available: Now

This model presents a unique gift for superhero fans. Not only does it sport an enticing Avengers base model, but it also includes a great collection of Marvel minifigures.

Action-loving superhero fans will certainly get a kick out of this gift, with five minifigures, two vehicles and a sizeable Avengers base to boot. The minifigures alone are desirable, even for older fans, with new designs for Iron Man, Thor, Captain Marvel, Loki and Hulk. The latter two are also currently exclusive to this set. Add to that a Captain Marvel helmet and hairpiece only available otherwise in 76153 Avengers Helicarrier, and you have an enticing superhero gift for all ages.

For ambitious newbies:
