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.

History of the cup Long ago, before we had cups or even pots, people drank from clay calabashes or jars that they made themselves by hand using the local materials available at the time. No wonder it took them so long to invent a pottery vessel that could keep a liquid hot or cold without burning up! As to who actually invented the cup, it is not entirely clear! But it was in ancient times that pottery cups were used for drinking water and other beverages in Asia and Africa, as well as in Europe and North America. The oldest cups found in different parts of the world are clay vessels that were discovered in Egypt during excavations conducted between 1933 and 1938 by the archaeologist Amelia Biliotti. They date back to 4000 BC and have certain similarities with today's ceramic cups. In ancient times, drinking vessels were mainly used to store water, not to drink it, as most modern glasses are today! The cup used to be made of wood in the countryside, and of thick earthenware in the cabarets where it was often decorated with floral motifs.

Dominoes can be played almost anywhere, whether they are made of wood or plastic. In the past, dominoes were made of bone or even ivory. So there are many different kinds of dominoes with countless variations, some of which are very amusing. A domino is made up of simple blocks that can be combined and assembled in many ways from very simple to very complex. It is a game that requires and demands a lot of skill and strategy. There are Chinese, English and European dominoes.... Archaeologists have reportedly found dominoes in ancient Egypt and among the Arabs, but the origin of the domino is attributed to China around the 12th century. Dominoes first appeared in Europe in Italy in the 18th century and from that time onwards they spread throughout Europe. Dominoes became the most played game in living rooms, pubs and families, becoming one of the most popular games. Dominoes are played by 2 or 4 people with 28 blocks. Each block is divided in two on the top side and has numbers (but not always), sometimes the same, but often different, but always unique. The principle of the game is to take turns following a pattern with your blocks, block by block, trying to match the identical face of your block to the identical face of the competitor's block. When a player cannot place a domino, he picks a piece and passes his turn. The winner is the one who has placed all his dominoes. This giant domino is a classic game gift, an original gift idea for a birthday or an unusual gift for the holidays.

How many celebrations, birthdays and other sad events we would miss without candles. Candles were invented a long time ago. Back in the days of candles and oil lamps, before the 19th century. In the old days, lighting was limited to candles, oil lamps and torches. These sources of light were expensive, dangerous to fire and inefficient. People relied on natural light and candles to illuminate their surroundings. In the Middle Ages, candles were a luxury reserved for the rich, while commoners often found themselves in darkness as soon as the sun went down. For a long time, candles have been used for lighting purposes, consisting of a fatty substance (wax) and a wick to be lit.

“Long ago in a far, far away galaxy”, little hairy birds called porgs lived on the planet Ahch-To, an ocean world dotted with small islands, without a single continent. The Porg and its inimitable cry is undoubtedly the star of the trailers for the eighth episode of the intergalactic saga Star Wars, The Last Jedi, The Porgs were imagined to mask the cries of the puffins that inhabit Skellig Michael, the Irish island on which the scenes were filmed, as digitally erasing the puffins' cries would have been extremely labour intensive. This adorable little bird lives in nests on the cliffs by the sea and feeds on fish that it hunts in the sea. It has thick plumage and webbed feet, no beak, but a flat nose and forward-facing eyes. The babies, called Porglets, are fed by the parents until they are old enough to fend for themselves. Inspired by both puffins and penguins, it was the director of The Last Jedi, Rian Johnson, who came up with the name of the Porg, and its appearance is memorable and fleeting. The Porg appeared in The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi and Skywalker's Ascension. Extremely cute, the Porgs are a huge hit with children, a cuddly gift idea for the little ones and star wars best gifts for fans who like to collect characters from the saga.

Long ago in a far, far away galaxy, BB-8, Poe Dameron's droid, obtains a fragment of a galactic map to find Luke Skywalker. In Star Wars, BB-8 starts the saga as a droid (science fiction robot) who can perform complex tasks. Lucasfilm also registered the term "Droid" in 1977 in the USA. In Star Wars, there are battle droids (trade federation) that fight alongside clones and droids that assist their holders in everyday life. However, in real life, we see increasingly intelligent robots appear thanks to the development of AI (artificial intelligence) in logistics and reception. It is certain that we are only at the beginning of the development of these robots and in a few years time we will undoubtedly reach the capacities of the robots (droids) of Star Wars. BB-8 appears for the first time in The Awakening of the Force (2015). BB-8 is very special and has a novel appearance based on two spheres: a large sphere that allows it to roll and a small sphere that has the appearance of a head and is placed on top of the large sphere.

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.

A birth day is a very important celebration for all of us. On this day we are the heroes of the day. Originally (and still in some families and peoples), the birthday boy or girl gave presents to his or her parents (especially to the mother) to thank them for giving birth to him or her. Since the Middle Ages, it was the birthday person who organised the festive meal, so each guest brought a share of the meal. Later on, as not everyone worked in the catering industry, everyone brought the birthday boy or girl something from their own production. Today, giving a birthday present has become a custom and an occasion to show affection to a relative, friend or colleague. But what gift should you give to a friend, grandmother or colleague? We suggest a nice little gift: a personalised mug with a personal photo or a message of your own invention. For example: For the best granny in the world. To my lifelong friend. To the funniest colleague, "It's the crisis, everything is increasing, even your age", "50 years old = 30 years + 20 years of experience" or any other message... It's up to you to choose or to find the message that best suits the person concerned. The originality of the mug is its decoration inside, a special colourful and nice birthday decoration. An original birthday gift, a personalised birthday mug proposed by Gifts-custopolis.com

Long, long ago in a galaxy far, far away, the X-wings were the most representative fighter planes of the New Republic and the Rebel Alliance. In the Star Wars universe, the X-Wing (a fighter plane) is a class of cosmic fighters. The X in the name comes from its X-shaped appearance. Over the course of the episodes, there have been many versions of this flying warplane. T-65, T-70, AC-4 and many other variants of the X-Wing, so X-Wing is its generic name. The designers of this fighter initially worked for the Empire however all the engineers changed camp to join the Rebel Alliance carrying in their luggage all the already elaborated prototypes. Each version of the X-Wing has different armaments, however many are the common points and all are able to travel in hyperspace. Today the aircraft of the future that can be found in the boxes of real companies such as Dassault are called:”Future Combat Air System” or FCAS which is an international project of a combination of interconnected military air assets. It is therefore a latest-generation fighter aircraft supported by UAVs whose interconnection is via a combat cloud (internet). Obviously, it is only a project for land fighter aircraft. For interstellar fighters, we can continue to dream thanks to the X-wing teddy bear from the Star Wars saga. The X-wing cuddly toy is therefore more than ever a great birthday present for everyone or as a gift for the end of the year. A collector's item, a must for fans of Star Wars.

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, Kylo Ren first appeared as the standard-bearer of the "First Order" dictatorial organisation built on the ashes of the Galactic Empire, Kylo Ren is an admirer of Darth Vader. The origin of this story is very similar to the terrible adventures of the Nazis just after the Second World War. That is to say, the flight of the former SS to Argentina and their dark actions in the country that welcomed them. According to some journalists, Hollywood didn't want this Star Wars, created more than 40 years ago. Star Wars was initially shown in 37 cinemas, which is very little for a new film in the US. The omens and some bad language in the film critics saw no future and a big failure for Georges Lucas and his film. However, as soon as it was released, it was a success and the number of cinemas where the film was shown increased rapidly. Today, it can be said that Star Wars was one of the biggest successes of the cinema. Having become a worldwide saga, almost everyone has seen at least one episode of this galactic science fiction epic. Imagined and directed by Georges Lucas in the 70s, the first episode was a challenge for the time. Indeed, Hollywood was allergic and unfavourable to science fiction films. Kylo Ren, the character's cuddly toy straight out of Star Wars, will obviously please the many fanatics, young or still young, who collect all the pieces from this mythical saga. You can be offered or give this very nice gift, this cuddly toy for your birthday, the end of the year celebrations or for doing a good deed, in short, there is no shortage of gift opportunities.

Long, long ago in a galaxy far, far away, Captain Phasma, cold and ruthless, led legions of stormtroopers. A character who appeared in episode VII (the awakening of the force) of the mythical adventure that is Star Wars, Captain Phasma serves the First Order and obeys Kylo Ren's orders without hesitation. Easily recognisable with her black pilgrimage edged in red and covered in armour made of chrome from one of Palpatine's ships. The director was inspired by a costume from the horror film "Phantasm" . Captain Phasma had a stormtrooper under his command, which revolted, escaped and was renamed Finn. During an operation, an infiltration on the Starkiller base, Captain Phasma was intercepted, captured and imprisoned by Finn, Han Solo and Chewbacca. However, she manages to escape, despite being thrown into the rubbish compactor and just before the planet explodes. Captain Phasma is one of the only women operating with the forces of evil. Captain Phasma is therefore an anti-hero, the antithesis of the many Star Wars heroes. However, for many viewers these anti-heroes often have something solid and despite their flaws and malevolence, they are sometimes touching, counter-current and non-conformist. Characteristics that can be negative but also positive and in which many admirers can recognise themselves. Phasma's cuddly toy is therefore the ideal gift for nonconformists on the occasion of their birthday, an end of the year party or to give themselves to show their dark side.
