The simplest solution then is to avoid the fancy "sets" and just buy the Lego generic collections. For example, this is what I got for my desk at work - http://www.amazon.com/LEGO-Bricks-More-Builders-Tomorrow/dp/... granted I wish they had included fewer small pieces, but it has no specialty parts so your limit is just your imagination.
"We couldn’t find a single package of Lego blocks that didn’t have a theme"
I don't think they looked hard enough:

You can get all the generic Lego blocks you would ever want. The "problem" is kids want all the fancy sets.
