Make a Lego-like version of yourself, or gift one to a friend
Lego is the one toy adults pretend to outgrow, but never truly do. Because if that 5,000-piece box of Star Wars Legos was sitting right beside you, you wouldn't be able to leave it alone.
So, what if we told you your childhood dream of being turned into a Lego-esque toy is possible? Brick Yourself is here to make a replica out of you or a friend, and it is awesome.
Yes, this is a real thing: Firebox, a London-based online retailer known for their wacky yet hilarious items, is making it possible for you to have a real, tangible, toy version of yourself. Just provide some facts, like your hobbies, your work, what you wear on a daily basis or your personal style, and even accessories you may always carry like glasses, a purse, or a fur coat and fancy sword (if your wildest dreams involve being a Game of Thrones character). Then upload a picture of yourself, add a name or funny description to go in the text box below, and just wait for your mini-me to arrive in the mail.
Not only is Brick Yourself a great way to create some insanely unique decor, but it would also make the most unique and awesome gift for a nerdy friend. Choose between getting your mini self framed and show it off to coworkers in your office for $42, or get it on a keychain and show it off to everyone on your morning commute for $28. As Firebox says, the results may just make you "brick yourself."
