Don’t shoot the messenger, but Valentine’s Day is coming up quickly. It’s happening Friday, Feb. 14, and if you’re looking to share an experience with your valentine this year in addition to whatever else you might have planned, consider one of Lego’s floral bouquets. It has a vast selection, with each one providing simple instructions for building with a partner. Once complete, the stemmed arrangements make for a great display, and can even be “trimmed,” ensuring they’ll fit in any planter or vase you have lying around. Better yet, several of them are discounted in time for Valentine’s Day, but your valentine doesn’t need to know that.

While all of our selections are available from a variety of retailers, it’s worth noting that buying directly through Lego will nab you perks. More specifically, if you become a Lego Insider (it’s free to join) and make purchases before Feb. 12, you’ll get twice the usual amount of points, which can be redeemed for discounts on future purchases. Looking past Valentine’s Day for a moment, becoming a Lego Insider is a good idea, as it gets you access to exclusive sets.

To help you find the ideal arrangement for your valentine, you can filter the options below by price and by how many pieces each Lego set includes, the latter of which will correlate with how long it might take to put together.
