How to gift lego mini figures?

9 replies

DS will be getting 9 secondhand lego minifigures in his stocking. He will want to build them so each one will be in 5+ tiny pieces.

Creative Christmas people - how would you wrap these so that nothing goes missing? 4 of them came in little baggies (illicit drug style!) but the others are currently loose. I don't want to spend on packaging if I can avoid it but happy to repurpose a household item with lots of compartments. Thank you!

Brown/ Baking paper - wrapped up and draw a design on each one?

Put each one in tissue paper bag tied with ribbon. Then make a bigger cracker and put them in that. Or wrap them individually and pop them in a small box.

Do you have any of those tiny fabric jewellery bags? If so wrap in those and put in a box or gift bag.

How about those clear empty baubles? But of bright tissue paper and hang on tree. Or even(reusing and recycling) Kinder eggs? Spray silver and thread ribbon on the top. Hang on tree. Reuse for other little things next year.

Brown paper circles sewn together with red thread, if you have a sewing machine. So they look like spaceships.
I've done this with odd-shaped things. You can sew into other shapes, of course: bell, star, whatever. Two flat circles might be easier for something so small. Can also hang in the tree or slip in a cracker.

Contemplates eating 9 kinder eggs this afternoon ...

Do you want each figure separately or all the pieces together.
I'd just put the pieces in a little gift box (from somewhere like Poundland) all together and he can build them however he fancies.

Envelopes?

You can get storage boxes with compartments for under a pound. They are always useful so I am sure you can repurpose it. You could wrap each figure in tissue before putting it in the box if you want the figures to be separate surprises.
