Chinese checkers probably do not come from the Far East, despite their name. On the other hand, Chinese checkers are a variant of the game Halma, a game created in England at the end of the 19th century by the American George Howard Monks, who invented a game called Halma, a name derived from the ancient Greek meaning "jump" but also an ancient pentathlon event. This first version of the game is played on the grids of a 16x16 square board. The version we know today was adapted under the name Stern-Halma (Halma: star) and patented in 1892 by the German company Ravensburger. This version of the game is played on a star-shaped game board. However, it can be seen that there is a rather similar version on a star-shaped board in Asia... When the game was first marketed in the United States by the company J.Pressman & Co. under the name "Hop Ching", the expression "Chinese Checkers" was used for the first time. However, this game in its initial square form is still called "Halma" in many countries... Gift idea for playing with the family, a very nice wooden board game gift. Original gift idea for a birthday, or for the end of the year celebrations.

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.

Star Wars is a film that has been a classic of its kind for many, many years. The subject of the film, for film-weaned citizens, is an intergalactic epic that the whole world knows from having seen it or simply heard about it. Star Wars is a futuristic war between good and evil. But an umbrella is a very down-to-earth accessory, used for a very long time, in China (since the 1st century), to protect oneself from the rain or the sun. The umbrella is made up of a canvas (fabric that covers the frame), the plate (top part of the umbrella), the ground flap (top of the umbrella), it is the part at the top that protects the umbrella when it is hit on the ground. In short, the umbrella is an object that is sometimes used too often in our countries. Of course, there are cheap umbrellas (very often of poor quality) but some umbrellas can be quite expensive. Canvas decorations are the most unexpected and infinite or very dark and plain. The Star Wars umbrella is exceptional, especially for fans, they should have it in their collection of Star Wars related items. It is a useful gift idea for children or teenagers. An original gift for a birthday or a small party.

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.

History of the cup We know the story of the pottery kiln from an ancient Chinese poem, the "Shuihuzhuan" (poem about the origin of objects). It reads as follows... There was once a man named Zhou Bo, who had a son named Lu Buwei, who had a daughter named Jiang Wei. Jiang Wei was the first person to make porcelain ware, which she then presented to her father, who liked it so much that he gave her this land, where she built a kiln and started making pots for sale, with her father's blessing (he needed the money, after all!). She sold them very well and soon became rich; however, she wanted to give something back to her parents for their generosity, so she asked her father if he would accept these two cups, which she said were the best ever made. One day Lu Buwei decided to build a kiln so that his sister, Jiang Wei, could make pots. He went into the forest to collect clay and saw beautiful pieces of glazed porcelain lying in the ground among the roots of the trees! He took them home, and the next morning he called his son, Lu Buwei, and told him to take these pieces of porcelain to make pots, and then took him to see the kiln where they had been collected.

Do you know the board games: Pachisi (Indian), Patolli (Mesoamerican), Ludo and the little horses? You win! They have an apron (playing surface) in the shape of a cross. However, all these games have a filiation that goes back very far in the history of civilisations, although they are called differently. Some have similar rules like the Korean game: "Yunnori", of Chinese origin, but the game board is different. And these board games were eventually called Ludo in Great Britain and "petits chevaux" in France. They were introduced in the United States and France around 1936. However, the rules and the number of squares where the little horses move to pass and go around may not be the same depending on the size of the game and the dressing of the small horse games or Ludo. However, even if the rules of the small horses or even if the boards are different, the fun of the game is still there. Nowadays, the variations of Ludo pawns are very important; pirates, small animal, Lego etc. When I was little, I used to go to my grandparents' house very often and the game of little horses was one of the first board games I played with my grandfather. The Ludo "Islands of the pirates" is a good birthday present for the little ones who often like pirate stories and cartoons.
