Zen gardens are one of the coolest and most tranquil forms of art that you can nurture, but they can be expensive. Fortunately, this Lego replica will save you time, space, and money, as it’s on sale right now for Cyber Monday. Priced at $88 (was $110), you can bring a sense of serenity to your home with this kit.
Out of the box, you’re getting 1,363 pieces that can be used to construct a Japanese-inspired haven. There’s a pavilion, an arched bridge, a stream full of Koi carp, a tea room, and lotus flowers, which you’ll build inside of a sturdy foundation. If you don’t like the default design, you’re free to rearrange things, and once fully assembled, it makes for a nice model to display on your shelf.
This is just one of several Lego sets focused on bringing the natural world to life. The Lego Bonsai Tree set is a beautiful recreation of the iconic plant that requires years of patience to look after, but in this fast-paced world, you can skip that lesson in restraint and go wild with pruning this 878-piece set for $40 (was $50). Some leaves can be arranged to create floral beauty–you can choose between traditional green leaves and pink cherry blossoms–and the entire set rests in a decorative base.
On the creepy-crawly side of Lego, you can also bring some of the insect kingdoms to your home with this particular set. Priced at $64 (was $80), this one comes with 1,111 pieces that can be used to build three display models of insects in their natural habitats. There’s the Blue Morpho butterfly on a flower, the Hercules beetle with attachable wings, and the Chinese mantis to build, with each one looking like an impressive replica of the real deal.
Beyond that, there are a few other nice Lego deals to check out that cover sci-fi and cinematic universes. Fans of 2022’s The Batman movie can build the Batcycle from that film, as this 641-piece kit has been discounted to $30 (was $50). In the galaxy of Star Wars, you can pick up a cute replica of Darth Vader’s helmet for $49 (was $80), and Horizon fans can get a buildable Tallneck mech for $63 (was $105).
