The Ultimate Housewarming Gift for the Homeowner Who Has Everything!

A bottle of wine or a cute new houseplant are great ways to celebrate a new home. But if you’re looking for the ultimate housewarming gift for the person who has it all, then we have you covered with a unique option that we guarantee no one else has thought of!

The internet has suddenly become a home to talented LEGO craftsmen recreating tiny replicas of real life homes with tiny bricks. These aren’t the rudimentary square structures you build with your kids that feature the tiny 4 panel windows and signature LEGO doors. These are masterpieces of engineering and precision. To own one of these unique designs, simply submit a detailed photo of your friend’s home and these builders will create a scale replica for the price of $400- $3,000!

Etsy is home to makers, LittleBrickLane and BenjisBricks. Brick Model Design features an extensive gallery of replicas that are a ton of fun to peruse if you’re a lover of architecture and beautiful homes. The attention to detail in these unique small scale homes is staggering. Seeing a home created in this medium is something that makes an unforgettable (albeit, we admit, somewhat unpractical) gift!

Of course, many of us don’t have the funds to buy such an extravagant gift for our friends or family members. If you have more of a “do it yourself” spirit, a few thousand legos, and a couple of hours on your hands, you can take inspiration from this builder’s YouTube time lapse video as he creates a stunning craftsman style home out of these signature plastic bricks. Maybe with some practice, you can show up with a housewarming gift that will elicit the “ooh!” and “ah!” reaction we all hope for!

Or you might just choose to stick with that trusty bottle of wine.

Happy gifting!
