It’s not unusual to think about gifts this time of year. We consider the gifts we plan to give family and friends or possibly receive. We may also consider other ways to give: donate to our favorite charity, pull a heart off a gift tree, or buy a present for someone who might not be able to buy one. There’s even “Giving Tuesday,” when many donations are matched or doubled, depending on the organization.
It shouldn’t come as a surprise that one of my favorite ways to give involves Lego. Each year, Lego holds its #buildtogive campaign. Build a heart. It can be small and simple or complex and elaborate. Take a photo. Then, post that photo on social media with the #buildtogive. Every time someone does that, they donate a Lego building kit to a child in need of play. They recently shared a video of a couple of guys taking a van full of Lego to a children’s hospital. I can get behind that.
