The main purpose of a candle is to provide light, and it is made up of a fatty substance (wax) and a wick. The fats were of different origins: beeswax for the wealthiest or tallow for the common people. However, glycerine replaced beeswax and tallow at the beginning of the 19th century. The oil lamp was a fierce competitor in the Middle Ages. In fact, the word candle did not appear in the French language until the Middle Ages. The original colour of candles was yellow, and since then there have been many variations in the colour and shape of candles, small or large, personalised, and now there are candles in many different scents.

Never leave a candle unattended, and keep it away from flammable objects and in as open a space as possible.

Follow these safety tips and you'll be able to enjoy your candle to the full.

Nowadays, candles are no longer a source of lighting or emergency lighting. Nowadays, candles are used for festive occasions, such as birthdays, or as symbols in religious ceremonies.

Nevertheless, a real candle is always nicer, friendlier and warmer on a table at a birthday or end-of-year party. 

 The candles we offer are very original, in the shape of a champagne bottle.

The champagne bottles candles are original gift ideas, perfect for a birthday or small celebration.

May 4 seems to many people to be a day that is completely identical to May 3 or 5, with no special features and no known holidays or anniversaries. Nevertheless, May 4th is the day of the Star Wars holiday and is often the occasion for the introduction of new characters that are added and take their place in the Star Wars saga. This holiday is the source of events that are reinforced by festivals and fan-generated concentrations. Some theme parks such as Disney, which bought the Star Wars licence and Lucasfilms in 2013, and other companies, which do not always have direct links with Star Wars, take the opportunity to communicate, celebrate and reinforce May 4th as Star Wars Day. It is an opportunity for Disney to introduce new characters. However, there are many objects that are part of the Star Wars world that do not always receive as much publicity when they are released, such as the Star Wars mug, which nevertheless deserves praise. For it is undoubtedly one of the most used and frequently seen everyday objects that immediately refers to the Star Wars universe. However, you can also keep this mug in your Star Wars collection without ever using it in your daily life. This Star Wars mug is the essential gift for fans (young and old) of the saga that can be offered as a birthday gift or as a cute gift for Mother's Day or as a special gift for Dad.

Protect the First Order! The Elite Praetorian Guard makes sure the great leader is protected. The guards are equipped with red armour and hunt down the rebels with bravery.

Star-Wars fans.

The elite Praetorian Guards were the guards of Supreme Leader Snoke, serving the First Order during the conflict against the Resistance. They wore red armour and robes reminiscent of the royal guards of Galactic Emperor Sheev Palpatine.

Description

The name of the elite Praetorian Guards dates back to the time of the 14th Emperor of the Empire of Atrisia. The Guard consisted of eight sentries divided into four pairs, each wielding unique weapons. Each pair of guards wielded a different weapon: two guards, including the First Guard, wielded the electro-bisento, two others, including the Third Guard, wielded the Bilari electro-chain whip, two others, including the Fifth Guard, wielded the vibro-Arbir and the last two wielded the Vibro-Voulge. They were also trained in several martial arts such as the Bakuuni Hand, Teräs Kasii, Echani and techniques from Nar Kanij.

Story 

The elite Praetorian Guards confront Kylo Ren and Rey after Snoke's death.

Serving Supreme Leader Snoke during the conflict between the First Order and the Resistance, the elite Praetorian Guards were often found in Snoke's throne room on the Supremacy. They usually stood behind him and were ready to intervene.

Shortly after the Battle of D'Qar, when Kylo Ren went before Snoke and tried to stand up to him, the guards drew their weapons but then decided to put them away after seeing Snoke use Sith lightning on his apprentice. A little later, when Kylo Ren brought Rey to his Master, they again got into a fighting stance when Rey tried to resist Snoke by grabbing Kylo Ren's lightsaber. Finally, they prepared to fight Rey and Ren to avenge Snoke's death, which they had been unable to prevent. A violent duel ensued, during which they demonstrated their considerable combat power. Despite their fierce resistance, all eight Guards were killed by their opponents. The elite Praetorian Guards first appeared in the 2017 film Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi. Their name was taken from LEGO set leaks on 13 July 2017. The name was confirmed in an interview with Rian Johnson for Entertainment Weekly, in which the director said he was inspired directly by the Roman Praetorian Guard.

The puzzles, an original wooden game gift, are from Greece. The first puzzle game dates back to the third century. This gift idea for teenagers, young people, mothers or men is an unusual gift that can be played alone or in groups. But what is a puzzle? It's a game that starts from a situation that is usually random and disordered and ends in a well-defined order, following predetermined rules. There are different types of puzzles, geometric games (i.e. mathematical games), logogram games, numerical games, card games, so the best-known puzzle is undoubtedly success, etc... But the best-known puzzles are the Puzzle and the Rubik's Cube... The first puzzles were called "Stomachion", a square game divided into 14 parts, which had to be put together in a predetermined order and could be combined in many different shapes. Puzzles were very popular at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. Professor Hoffmann published a book with the title: "Puzzles old and new." It described 40 puzzles with all the secret mechanical details. This puzzle book has become a reference for this exciting type of game. Wood is undoubtedly the most suitable material for puzzles, despite the fact that it is easy to work with, such as plastic.

What is pink Himalayan salt used for ?

In Pakistan, it is the most famous salt. It is a raw, unrefined salt, rich in trace elements and not iodised. Himalayan salt is red, pink, off-white or transparent. The pink shades of rock salt are due to the presence of iron oxide.

Pink salt is used in cooking in the same way as ordinary salt. However, it is mainly sold as a gastronomic product because pink Himalayan salt contains less sodium per serving than white salt.  The rest of the production is used for other purposes, such as cosmetic applications: scrubbing and exfoliation, bath salts for relaxation and detoxification, but also in handicrafts, for the manufacture of lamps, candleholders or other decorative objects. Each lamp is unique in its shape, colour and intensity. The salt block is simply hollowed out to accommodate a light bulb. 

Ideally, the salt lamp should be placed in a dry and well-ventilated area, for example on a glass plate. Indeed, humidity can cause a slight condensation under the lamp. 

The salt blocks used for our lamps sold on Gifts-Custopolis.com are extracted from the Himalayan mountains - the purest salt in the world. Our supplier works with a family business run by Rana - the raw salt is sourced from the good, government-regulated mines of Khewra.
