LEGO has produced various seasonal and holiday-themed sets over the years. These sets often coincide with holidays like Christmas, Easter, Halloween, and Valentine's Day, among others. The LEGO Basic theme, which began in the 1970s, was designed to be a more general, non-thematic series of sets. Unlike the themed sets that revolve around concepts, the Basic theme provided a collection of standard LEGO bricks and pieces.

The Basic sets often came with simple instruction booklets that showcased a variety of builds possible with the given pieces, but they were fundamentally meant to inspire open-ended play and creativity. The Basic theme persisted in various forms for many years, catering to builders who just wanted a collection of bricks to build whatever they imagined.
