3. NanoBlock Mini Building Kits

I love Legos and the idea of building fun models, but I gave up my Lego bucket to a well deserving kid a few years back. Since I can't justify cluttering up my home with giant Lego models, these NanoBlock models are great adult compromise. I had a blast building mine last night and the "nano" footprint is perfect for displaying on a windowsill.

Audience: older kids who love Legos, space constrained adults who enjoy light model building activities

Benefits: Under $20 gift, small, easy to wrap.
