It can take the fun out of toy shopping. Ditto for the battery-operated kind that has you cringing milliseconds after you press the button and hear the jingle that’s sure to get stuck in your head if the toy winds up under your tree. Forget all the bah-humbug. Toy shopping is going back to basics this season, and LEGOs are topping the lists of kids from 1 to 92. Sets aimed at people of all ages, including Duplo for littles and challenging builds for teens and adults, provide hours of fun, opportunities for imaginative play and — yes — even a chance to build STEM skills. Here at Parade.com, we’re all about sharing products we love with our audience.

The recipient’s cat will thank you, and you can thank us for the heads up that the No. 1 best-seller’s price is down 20%. LEGO Icons Orchid Building Set for Adults, $39.99
