The Mikado is for those who do not know, a game consisting of many chopsticks, which are painted in several colours, each colour having a different value. The first step of the game is to gather all the chopsticks vertically and on their tips. Then you release them so that the pile is as untidy as possible and the chopsticks are nested on top of each other. Then the game consists of removing one stick at a time from the pile, but the main goal is not to move the other sticks.... You can remove one stick above or below the pile. If unluckily you move the other sticks you immediately pass your turn and the opponent can play. You can continue to remove sticks until you have moved one or more other sticks. At the end of the game, the points accumulated are added up, so if you have managed to take the sticks worth the most points by taking the most badly placed but most valuable sticks you will be declared the winner. Obviously, the added value of the game we offer is the size of the game which is Giant, so it is a game to offer as an original gift, an unusual gift as a kdo idea for a young person, a perfect board game gift. A birthday gift idea for older children.

To play Ludo (small horses or dada in France, Belgium), you need to be four and have a dice and 4 counters, farm animals or small horses whose colour corresponds to the starting box. The colour is drawn at random before starting the game which runs in the same direction as the clockwise direction. To start the race in this little gift game, the participants must roll a 6, which then allows them to get out and stand right in front of the box. The number 6 allows them to play again. To progress on this game, gift ideas for children, participants must roll a dice and move their mount forward by the same amount. If you roll a 5, for example, and you arrive exactly on a square where there is already an opponent's pawn, this pawn will have to go back to its stable and start the game again and you will take its place on the board. The winner is the one who arrives first at the centre of this ideal board game gift and ideal birthday present, while crossing the ladder opposite his starting "box" at the end of a compulsory turn of the board.

Who will win the race? The donkey, the sheep, the mouse or the cow? A nice gift for children who love animals.

In France, the dream jobs for boys are, in order of preference: aeroplane or helicopter pilot, engineer, scientist and in fourth place: "Doctor, nurse or emergency doctor.

Me, I am Tiger woods! I am Jack Nicklaus... This is how a game of minigolf could start between two young friends in the living room, protected from the winter bad weather or at any other time of free time. So it's an original idea for a birthday, an end of year party. It should be noted that the miniature golf course was invented in 1867 to allow women to try their hand at golf, a golf course previously reserved for men. However, miniature golf courses did not appear in geometric format and were mostly made on artificial courses with mostly carpet coverings around the beginning of the twentieth century. Named "Golstacle" in the press, the magazine "The Illustrated London News" referred to it in the magazine "The Illustrated London News" on the 8th of June one thousand nine hundred and twelve. This game of miniature golf has many elements to make a miniature golf course to entertain oneself when one has some time or when a friend comes to the house. This game will undoubtedly make you want to try out the closest miniature golf course to your home. The qualities to play mini golf are self-control, patience, concentration, but often a little luck... However, keep your China vases and crystal vases away from golf balls.

From simple wood covered with velvet, much appreciated by the Americans, to the gilded bronze and lacquered marquetry so popular under Napoleon III, via esoteric versions in zinc and tortoiseshell, so many avenues were explored! Under the Second Empire, for example, the size of these cases was reduced, while being extravagantly decorated with gold leaf and ivory. In comparison, American jewellery boxes of the late 19th century appear more austere, and Victorian English boxes are often more voluminous and padded on the inside. Decorated with straight-edged geometric designs, they may have only a simple engraved cartouche as a touch of folly. Another key period for jewellery boxes, at the dawn of women's emancipation, was Art Nouveau and its "whip" shapes. The article we present to you is made of faux leather in a rectangular format to escape the standardisation of jewellery boxes, "Made in China" you have the opportunity to find decorations for almost every imaginable occasion: Mother's Day, Valentine's Day, birthdays, and of course, we can apply your photo on the lid of this jewellery box. Just choose the jewellery box with the desired decoration.
