Wirecutter - Lego flowers we love

Joshua Lyon

Out of the 30,000 different species of orchids, there’s only one type that can survive in supervising editor Joshua Lyon’s home: the Lego orchid. Luckily for him (and chronic plant killers everywhere), Lego’s line of brick-built flora is ideal for adults looking to liven up their space with bright flowers—sans the sad wilting. 

‌

We asked Josh to test out the eight builds in the Botanical Collection, including a beautiful bonsai, a leafy Bird of Paradise, an utterly giftable set of succulents, and more. (You can watch a time-lapse of him building one here.)

‌

His verdict? Each set produces a good-looking eyepiece that is sure to have your guests doing double takes.

We love this Boy Smells Hinoki Fantôme candle, which has a complex, hard-to-pin-down scent. Think: earthy woodsmoke tinged with warm amber, sweet vanilla, and just a bit of mossy freshness and florals. It's fragrant, but not overpowering. Basically, it's perfect for anyone who likes warm, woodsy scents but doesn’t want to feel like they’re at a literal campfire. It's currently only $29 at Sephora with code GETGIFTING and a free Beauty Insider membership.
