Body: <p>Want to buy my boyfriend LEGO for Christmas as I know he'd love it, but am very confused about the age limits on the boxes! If I buy one age 8-14 for example, is it too simple? Don't want to offend him either as he's 20 :P 
  Recommendations of sets would also be appreciated!</p>

Comments.Text: Sets with more pieces or a higher age range will be more challenging.  If he's into Star Wars he'll probably be excited to get any of them.  http://bricks.stackexchange.com/a/1317/6174 explains a bit more in general about choosing sets.

  For a guy who's 20 you can ignore the age limits. LEGO used to label set with "N..99" age limits but these days that sort of humour is less appreciated. It's still true, though.
  
  I suggest focus more on what he's interested in, and what you think he'd enjoy building. Within the [LEGO Star Wars](http://www.lego.com/en-us/starwars) range there are quite a lot of options. If he's mostly into collecting toys I suggest starting small, but if he's into spending hours building stuff there are options that go right up to metre-long display models.
  
  I think your main risk is social or financial. Even if you misjudge his interest, if he's into Star Wars he's likely to build it, display it, and just not ever get round to buying more. But especially the first time, don't spend more than you're willing to have him go "what? No" at, and maybe be careful about where he opens the gift.
