More than 20,000 employees will get three more vacation days and the annual bonuses will be bigger as a thank you for their contributions.

Billund, November 23rd, 2021: People in flood-affected areas in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, are still struggling with rebuilding their lives three months after the flooding. “The water is gone, but the need for relief efforts and aid continues unabated,” says Karen Pascha-Gladyshev, Managing Director of LEGO GmbH, referring to the flood disaster in July, which destroyed several German villages entirely.

LEGO VIP 1950’s Retro Tin (5007016) Promo Extended to November 25

Personally, I would just save your money until Cyber Monday to get the Fleece Blanket which is a more practical item that you can use.
