LEGO reimagines Father's Day with 'Build It With Him' campaign
This Father's Day, the LEGO Group is inspiring families across the UAE to rethink gifting traditions with its regionally tailored 'Build It With Him' campaign – a creative call to action that invites parents and children to connect through the joy of LEGO® play. Ula Bieganska, Head of Marketing, LEGO Group MEA says, 'The creative vision was inspired by the idea that Father's Day isn't really about celebration it's about connection. Our campaign for the LEGO Group set out to reframe the occasion not as a moment for grand gestures, but as a chance to be present and playful. The campaign was a collaboration between Publicis Middle East and MSL Middle East, with MSL handling the strategy and insights and earned amplification and PME leading on creative. Insight-led storytelling To shape the campaign, the team conducted extensive local research to better understand Father's Day in the UAE The strategy was rooted in a deep understanding of Father's Day in the UAE, an occasion that is officially acknowledged but often culturally overlooked. Bieganska says, 'We carried out primary research to understand mindsets and habits around Father's Day, among the country's diverse expat population, alongside the influence of Khaleeji family dynamics, and the last-minute nature of gifting behaviour in this market. Rather than importing a global idea, we built a regional-first narrative that played into human truths, social behaviours, and localised gifting patterns.' She adds, 'A combination of local research and cultural insight revealed a disconnect between how Father's Day is recognised and how it is actually experienced in the UAE. A YouGov study showed that 75 per cent of UAE dads had received the same gift more than once, with cliché and predictable gifts like mugs, wallets and shirts topping the list,' 'Yet, when asked about their most meaningful gifts, a quarter of dads said it was something handmade by their child. Our focus groups echoed this sentiment, as dads spoke not about being celebrated, but about wanting to spend more time with their kids. This emotional truth became the anchor for the campaign,' reveals Bieganska. Transforming tradition through play The campaign's primary goal was to build brand affinity by positioning LEGO bricks as a meaningful Father's Day gifting solution. Rather than focusing on conversion, it was designed to resonate emotionally with families and boost top-of-mind awareness during a typically under-leveraged seasonal moment in the region. 'While this wasn't a conversion-led campaign, it was designed to drive customer loyalty through emotional resonance and cultural relevance,' says Bieganska. 'Build It With Him' The campaign ran across owned the LEGO Group social channels, earned media, and in-store with an activation at the LEGO Store at Mall of The Emirates. Creative assets included static visuals, with playful LEGO brick-built reinterpretations of traditional Father's Day gifts, all created for digital-first consumption. Aside from this, influencer marketing also took place. Influencers known for parenting and lifestyle content were chosen for their alignment with LEGO's values of imagination and quality. Their content focused on sharing the experience of building LEGO gifts with their children and reflecting on Father's Day meaningfully, enhancing engagement and authenticity. The 'Build It With Him' campaign specifically spoke to two core audience segments in the UAE. Expat mums (aged 28–45) – the key gift buyers in the household, often time-poor but looking for thoughtful and meaningful gifting options that reflect shared family values. Older expat kids (aged 16–25) – trend-aware gift-givers who want to move beyond the generic and find gifts that feel personal, creative and social-media-worthy. A celebration of connection beyond the occasion More than a seasonal campaign, 'Build It With Him' champions the enduring value of creativity and cross-generational bonding – turning a traditionally quiet holiday into a playful opportunity for family connection. 'The key brand message is simple but powerful: the best gifts aren't bought, they're built. Through this lens, LEGO bricks becomes more than a product, it becomes a tool for cross-generational connection and shared memory-making,' Bieganska concludes. By tapping into regional behaviours and emotional truths, the LEGO Group campaign transforms a token holiday into a creative opportunity for connection. 'Build It With Him' not only refreshes the Father's Day conversation in the UAE, but also reinforces the LEGO Group's role as a brand that champions shared experiences and the enduring value of play across generations. The campaign launched ahead of Father's Day on June 21, coinciding with World Play Day on June 11, and continues across key channels in the UAE.

This viral Lego toast is dividing the internet—and it's the cutest chaos you will see today
You've seen avocado toast, you've seen cinnamon swirl toast—but have you ever seen LEGO toast? That's exactly what food vlogger Catherine Hellings dropped on us, and 'dropping' feels right, since she uses an actual Lego brick to stamp cute patterns onto a slice of bread before toasting it. The result? A light brown, butter-slathered canvas that looks way too cute to eat—but people are definitely eating it. . First, Catherine presses the Lego brick onto the raw bread, imprinting that iconic block pattern. She toasts it lightly, spreads on a generous slab of butter, then toasts it again—just enough so the butter melts into the grooves, creating a buttery grid of heaven. Her Instagram caption nails it: 'Hot buttered Lego toast! … perfect for Lego-loving kids (& grown‑ups too!).' And yeah, anyone who's ever built a brick castle is gonna crack a smile. Of course, the internet had lots to say about this neat little experiment Some comments were pure love: 'So fun! If you toasted another slice, I wonder if they'd lock together.' Another praised the simplicity: 'How fun and cute.' Clearly, the adorable factor scored major bonus points. But, in classic internet style, there were plenty of haters too. One unimpressed viewer sneered, 'Seriously, if I'm making toast instead of something else, it means I don't have time for this nonsense.' Ouch. Another put it more bluntly: 'What exactly is the point?' And if that wasn't harsh enough, this gem of practicality surfaced: 'That took too long. Place some blocks on a small board the size of bread and do it all at once. ' Harsh—but kind of relatable for any parent who's ever made food art only to have a toddler declare it 'yucky.' And those are the best kind of comments—the 'relatable real-talk' ones the internet lives for. For every 'aw, so cute,' there's a 'really? Toast with Legos?' mix of confusion and mild contempt, and those reactions are gold. This isn't some haute cuisine. This is a playful idea—simple, quirky, compelling. And it worked. Over 2.1 million views later, it's clear people are into small kitchen surprises that make them smile. Even the harshest critiques had to click, watch, and comment. That's the kind of viral content we all talk about around the breakfast table…or when we should be eating it. If anything, this video reminds us that food creativity doesn't always need a Michelin star or mystical ingredients. Sometimes it needs just a slab of butter, a warm kitchen, and a Lego brick you didn't wash yet. And maybe a little nostalgia. It's about tapping into childlike wonder, making something surprisingly delightful out of the everyday—and maybe inspiring you to make your own toaster art. In a world where we're all chasing the next viral food trend, this reminds us: creativity doesn't have to be complicated. It just has to make us say, 'Aww… and also wait, what?' That's the spice of life—snack edition. One step to a healthier you—join Times Health+ Yoga and feel the change

Fortnite guide: How to get the Battle Bus SUV? All you need to know
Fortnite has evolved with each update over time. It has left battle royale fans glued to their screens with its fascinating superhero-themed seasons and crossovers like Star Wars. Players are offered several free rewards for a limited time period, including a wide range of Car Skins, ranging from supercars to the game's original creations. One of the highly appreciated vehicles in the game is the Battle Bus SUV. The popular vehicle, which has become a real-life LEGO set, made its way into Rocket League through a special collaboration event with Fortnite, according to Game Rant. Here, we share all the details players need to get the item. Battle Bus is among the several Car Skins that were earlier made available in Rocket League, followed by their release in Fortnite. As of now, the only way to have the Battle Bus SUV in Fortnite is by owning the vehicle in Rocket League. This means players must be using the same Epic Games account. As per Insider Gaming, Rocket League has two variants of this vehicle, but only one provides the reward in Fortnite. Gamers owning free limited-time Titanium White Battle Bus will have it added to their collection in Fortnite as well. The Battle Bus SUV made its debut in Rocket League during the Llama-Rama Event in September 2020. As per reports, those players who claimed the Titanium White version of the Battle Bus from the Epic Games Store in June 2023 have been receiving it for free in Fortnite. But this offer ended on June 12, according to Game Rant. This means the vehicle is no longer available to claim now. Also read: Rise of AI Dungeon Masters: How AI is changing tabletop and video gaming Players must note that the Battle Bus SUV remains unavailable for purchase in the Fortnite Item Shop. iFireMonkey, which shares Fortnite leaks on X, informed on Thursday that the 'Battle Bus is set to be sold in the Item Shop in the near future.' But there is no official confirmation regarding when it will make its debut in the Fortnite Item Shop. There are possibilities that it could make its debut in the game's shop during Chapter 6 Season 3. As of now, it is not available for purchase in the Fortnite Item Shop. Those who own the vehicle in Rocket League and have not received it in Fortnite must ensure that both the games are linked to the same Epic Games account. So far, there is no official confirmation regarding when Battle Bus will be available in Fortnite.
