Parents usually have mixed feelings about Lego building blocks. On one hand, they are great toys that help encourage our kids imaginations and keep them busy for hours. On the other, they are quite expensive and the tiny ones get everywhere! And if you’ve ever had the misfortune of stepping on one with bare feet, you know just how obnoxious they can be! Well, to restore your faith in the Lego, we’ve found a handful of creative uses for these mini building blocks that may change your mind. Check out these awesome ways to put your Legos to good use!

1. Phone Dock
If you spend a lot of time at a desk, you probably find yourself frequently checking your phone as it lights up. Rather than picking it up each time to check your messages, you can make a simple dock for your phone to rest. Then you can just glance over if you see anything incoming and pick it up if you must!

2. Gift Wrap
What better way to use Legos then to give them away (less to step on in the middle of of the night, right!)? If you have a small item to gift, you can use Legos to make a cute and unique gift box. You know it will be well protected, because Legos can withstand up to 950 pounds of pressure before breaking! This will be unlike any gift box your loved one has received before.

3. Cufflinks
Legos aren’t just toys, but can be fashion items too! Instead of gifting dad with the usual new tie for his birthday or Christmas, get him a pair of totally unique Lego cufflinks. These colorful accessories are truly unique and can be customized to match dad’s suits and shirts.

4. Coasters
No matter how many you buy, you can always use more coasters because they always seem to go missing. Your Legos are a great option because the plastic won’t soak in any liquid and the space between the raised dots will trap it, keeping it away from your wooden tables. You can buy a Lego coaster set like the one pictured above or make your own from existing lego pieces!

5. Flower Pot
If you have a boring potted plant, why not spruce it up with some Legos? You don’t have to get as “geeky” as the one pictured above, which is entirely Star Wars themed. However you can add some pizazz to a boring terra-cotta or old and ugly pot by surrounding it in Legos.

8. Keep Track Of Your Camera Lens Cap
If you have any sort of a nice camera, you probably have a lens cap.

10. Picture Frame
If you want your Legos to be put together and rarely taken apart, then a picture frame is a great way to do this. You can glue them to an existing frame or completely fashion a frame just from Legos. Either way, you will have a unique frame that proudly puts your Legos on display all the time.
