LEGO Creator 40871 Gift Box Celebration Officially Revealed | April 2026

What better way to celebrate a birthday than with a brand new LEGO set, and the build officially revealed today by the LEGO Group is literally perfect for anyone and everyone's birthday. In particular, this is the LEGO Creator model of 40871 Gift Box Celebration, which celebrates birthdays the LEGO way with 224 pieces included, retailing for $19.99 / €19.99 / £17.99.

The 7+ build is a brick-built present bursting with birthday-themed builds. The present itself is green with a blue ribbon going around the cuboid-shaped gift. A red crank can be found on the side of this LEGO present, which, when rotated, moves two stickered 'Happy Birthday' signs up and down. It's almost like a LEGO jack-in-the-box!

Other birthday-themed builds and treats in 40871 Gift Box Celebration include a cake, a balloon animal, ice cream, garlands, fireworks, a gold star, a smaller present and much more. The balloon animal in question is a blue dog, which can be placed on the chocolate cake covered with white icing and hints of pink and purple. Transparent rods are used for the fireworks and garlands to create a more realistic look to the April 2026 model.
