What kinds of stuff does she like?

If she likes paintings/art, there are several famous painting or print sets. I liked the Great Wave set, and there are others.

If she likes architecture, there are dozens or hundreds of various building sets.

If she likes history, something like the Colosseum could be fun.

The Titanic can be technical, or tie into the movie, or both.

If she likes dinosaurs, lots of Jurassic Park sets to enjoy. I like the fossil ones, but they also have sets of "live" dinos.

If she likes animals, there are neat animal sets. The Lion King has some, there are others with other animals (the parrots set has caught my eye recently) and so on.

Bugs? There are sets with bugs.

Flowers? There is a whole line of flower sets.

Space? Lots of space sets!

There's a whole lot out there.

42179 Planet Earth and Moon in Orbit

Is always a good suggestion, but you would need to like space.

There are also a few planes, helicopters and boats available. But the amount of non-cars had always been slim.

There are some plane/helicopter/hovercraft and agricultural machine sets, but that's all vehicles as well.

If that's not it, there are lego space sets like the one with planets around the sun.

The Friends amusement park sets are retired, but you could download the instructions, see what pieces you have and what you'd actually need to buy, and get the necessary bits on bricklink or similar without spending too much?

Lego city? Can be mechanical and an older version of friends

Those 3-in-1 sets are pretty good starters. Gives her a bit more flexibility than just a single set.

Flower Bouquet

Mine liked friends so I managed to find it on sale. Why anyone likes that garbage show I will never know 🤣

Ask her?

Lego city is usually good to start with, especially the camper vans because they’re smaller and compact but great to build.

Despite its flaws, I really enjoy Lego Star Wars The Skywalker Saga.

Lego marvel avengers is a great one. So is most Lego Star Wars games, those are good starters

Lego Marvel Superheroes is the best and most relaxing LEGO game ever. It has the best character roster (not the biggest, but the best) the best story, amazing A list voice actors, fun puzzles, and if you like marvel in any way you’re bound to love it. And even if you don’t know really know marvel you’re bound to love it. I might add, this game was alot of people’s introduction to the fantastic four and X-men, it’s been known to make life long fans, like myself.

I like the HP ones, not over complicated and they follow the films so if you get stuck you can watch them.

They were the first ones I introduced to my son and we would watch the film then complete the year together.

Not a girl, but Lego Dimensions is by far the best game I've played throughout my existence on this planet.

My wife collects botanical and animal themed sets.

I think it is a crime to NOT play with your lego unless it's a heavy only for display piece! I play with my dinosaurs and bionicles all the time. Haha.

I want a Lego sugar momma!

I also have a Ninjago city! Now in my case my husband expands it for me with MOCs but I buy the official sets and tell him what I want in his MOCs

Hello! I'm a woman and I've got my own LEGO room!! I'm also a Lord Business about it, so no touchies 🤪

We pretend it’s for the kids, but really it’s my Lego.

Me too! And my Lego room is full, so my sets are spilling into other rooms.

WOW!! Very cool! You know your kid will definitely "sneak" play with your legos, right? I totally want to.

That’s way cool. Plus smart to have legos lower for little one.

Welcome to the addiction. Be careful, you can get into a hell of a backlog really fast.

First tip, determine where and how you will display the sets you collect. Nothing worse than determining you have a perfect spot only to learn later that it's not the right size or that particular display stand is no longer in production, etc. Also, don't display in front of windows unless they have UV protection in/on them.

2nd tip, buy the sets that are about to retire from LEGO, before they retire. HP doesn't jump a ton in price after retirement, but they will be more expensive, especially the further from retired they become.

3rd tip, check out bricklink.com for all your lego needs. The site is clunky and not very user fri3ndly, but you can score some deals there for sure. Especially if you're looking for a certain figure, and not the whole settled came in.

4th tip, be patient in buying retired sets too. If you're patient. You can often find a better price from another seller, or you can find a lot with more than one set in it for example, I got pretty much the full 2018 wave, with boxes, for $150. They are used and need dusting and rebuilding. But the price is so good I couldn't pass it up. I have all these sets already, but having spare parts is never a bad thing.

5th tip, Check out rebrickable.com for alternative building directions. Lots of people design instructions for a wide variety of builds and you can buy the instructions from th3m to utilize your own parts for building. I know you said you just got into LEGO, so your misc parts won't be much, but you can see some of the build designs that you may want to do later on, and then search out the sets that go into that build.

6th tip, have way to much fun. Watch the films while you build. Take your time with each bag. Make little scenes in each build too. Dont be scared to make it your own style too. Move parts around. Switch figures with other sections. Etc.

Fun fact about your first set, it’s the most complete Hogwarts in LEGO form we’ve gotten so far.

Welcome! I really enjoyed building the Diagon Alley set. And this Micro scale of Hogwarts too.

One of us!

This set surprised me. I had the large collectors castle but it was so big. Still a fun build. I got this as a present and ended up selling my larger set. I think this looks so nice and so many Easter eggs and looks great. And displays easier!

I am looking to get the micro diagon alley soon as well. The large Diagon Alley set is also amazing.

The new Burrow is a great set! I had the previous one and the new one clears for me.

I am just enrolling now to support this!!! Looks perfect 😁 hope we can get this and then then a giant Stars Hallow set!!

omg so cute voted!

I'm supporter number 2401! Good luck! This is awesome!!!

Only 6.5k to go.

I wish the buildable ewok had this feature.

My 6 year old daughter has no time for those dolls. She was exposed to them in the Lego Movie 2 sets and isn't a fan. The hair pops off and their wrists don't turn.

I’ve read a couple of articles about the Friends line and the bottom line is they sell very well. I believe their sales doubled expectations the first year and the number of girls playing with LEGO doubled or tripled. They must still be doing well enough if they’re still around almost 10 years later. So I’m guessing most girls like them fine.

My girls liked Lego and they thought the minifigs were ok. I steered away from Friends because I find it too girly and my girls were never into girly stuff. Then I bought them some Elves sets and their minds were blown.

“Dad. See these Elves figures? We need more of these. Lots more.”

“Yeah Dad. These are way cooler than the blocky people. Why can’t they make Guardians of the Galaxy with these kind of figures. That would be so cool Dad why can’t we get Gamora like this Dad the blocky people are not as good.”

I ended up buying through BrickLink every minidoll I could find- all the Superhero Girls, all the Lego Movie 2 minidolls, a bunch of Friends. And pretty much every Elves set- we have an almost complete collection of Elves. They continue to pine that there aren’t enough minidoll themes.

They like Ninjago, and spaceships, and Harry Potter. But they really like the minidolls over the minifigs.

You will find minidoll hate spread to be very common among AFOLS!

My daughter(8) loves the wild colors and animals that come in the Friends line, but prefers to swap the minidolls for minifigs, which we have a plethora of.

She does keep the minidolls for other play, but I think the appeal of them is their lack of appeal to her brothers!

My daughter had a few Lego sets, and then discovered the cartoon. Her interest in Lego exploded. She has since moved beyond Lego Friends, but I will be forever grateful that the company launched the line. We are definitely a pink-isn’t-a-girls-color type family, so I can understand where OP is coming from. Just don’t dismiss how some girls might take to the Lego Friends series and use it to expand upon their love of Lego.
