Buy to Give: LEGO Black Friday Sales Can Make A Difference
/Black Friday marks the arrival of the Christmas season. To celebrate, LEGO has just launched their incredible life-size Christmas Tree set along with some cool gifts with purchase. And if you buy it using BrickNerd’s affiliate link, we’ll donate all the referral income to Fairy Bricks for our Festive Fundraiser!
That’s right, we’re donating all of the income from LEGO seasonal sets purchased through our LEGO affiliate link through the end of the year. You can help sick kids in hospitals by simply purchasing your LEGO using the link bit.ly/GiveLEGO.
That means for each Advent calendar, Winter Village set, polar bear, and anything else that LEGO classifies as “Seasonal” (including the new gigantic UCS Christmas Tree), the entire 3% of your purchase that is paid to BrickNerd will be donated to Fairy Bricks.
LEGO classifies lots of things as “Seasonal” so Halloween sets, Lunar New Year, and Flower Bouquet all qualify—and even the Pick-up Truck and Grand Piano for some reason too! In real money terms, that’s $3 for each Holiday Main Street or a whopping $12 for each Grand Piano.
Fairy Bricks
We love Fairy Bricks and the work they do for the community. They have one very simple objective: to give LEGO to kids in hospitals. Each year, they help send huge boxes of sets to more than 200 hospitals in 27 countries—and they are only getting better at working their fairy magic.
Play is a vital part of the recovery process when children are in the hospital. It provides comfort, a distraction, and is even used as an educational tool to assist children with the procedures they have to endure. LEGO itself as a product is perfect for this. It is an item many children are already familiar with and can provide an instant escape at a very difficult time.
If you purchase your sets physically in stores or if you aren’t planning on buying anything seasonal this year, you can still donate to Fairy Bricks directly on their website. Every bit helps.
