Dexterity Game Woody

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.

Vintage mug with children's...





History of the cup Particularity of some cups In the middle of the 18th century, manufacturers started to produce cups of different sizes: the smallest was called "mignonnette", the most common being 6 cm high. At the end of the century, cups were differentiated according to the drink. First in Germany, then in Austria and France, porcelain factories started to make "trembling" cups deeply embedded in their high saucer, which prevented the container from slipping. It seems to be used more for chocolate and usually has a handle and sometimes a lid. The origin of these cups is Spanish. The "Queen's" or breakfast cup, also known as the "milk cup", with its strict truncated cone shape and deep saucer, was invented by Sèvres for the morning breakfast, its particularity was to keep the milk hot. Some are without handles and without lid, others have one or two handles and a lid. The "litron" cup, also called "square cup", with or without a lid, is cylindrical and has an equal diameter and height. It is the ancestor of our coffee cup. It takes its name and shape from an ancient liquid measuring vessel. This cup appeared at the Vincennes factory in 1752.

Vintage mug with teenage...





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.

Vintage mug with children's...





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. A children funny birthday mug with a decoration that will be dedicated to embellish with a special child drawing what is more essential for a personalised mug gift idea for kids .

Dino white/dark green...

Today the dinosaurs have disappeared, fortunately for us because they were terrifying. However, they are still admired, especially by children. Children's attraction to dinosaurs is often born on television or in the cinema. They love to play with the little figurines, they allow them to unload their aggressiveness by playing a guilt-free brawl. Many children are really interested in the fascinating world of dinosaurs. They develop their scientific curiosity in this way by researching the subject thoroughly. They identify with these powerful animals and imagine themselves stronger because they are fascinating and often gigantic animals. This is a way of frightening themselves and learning to overcome this feeling. Without risk, since the child knows that they are no longer part of our world. Offering a dinosaur as a night light is therefore ideal to give the child the impression that the dino is watching over him. The dino can become his big friend, he will protect him just like the adult who can be severe. A nice gift idea for children who are passionate and curious to know everything about dinos. A great gift for birthdays, games and toys. A dino is an ideal gift as a children's bedroom decoration. A fun and reassuring Christmas gift.

Giant dominoes

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.

DIY candle kit

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.

The link between the animal and savings began in the 18th century in the British countryside, where pig rearing made it possible to feed people at lower cost. At the time, owning one or more pigs was a very good investment for farmers. They looked after their animals and fed them until they sold every part of the pig, because as everyone knows, "everything is good in pigs". This is how the pig came to symbolise thrift! The pig was represented in the form of a hollow container, initially used to save for everyday life. Then the pig became a sign of financial ease, a symbol of opulence.

Square cushion with adult...



Historical background : Cushions were already in use in the palaces and luxurious houses of the Middle Ages. At that time they were often large and made of leather, which was hard enough to be used as a seat. With time and new trends, cushions have become much smaller. In France and Spain, cushions have long been used as seats for special occasions. Today, the cushion is an irreplaceable accessory in the home: on the sofa, bed or elsewhere. In short, cushions can be placed anywhere you like: on a windowsill, chair, bench, sofa or floor. The 1960s saw the appearance of huge cushions, called “pouffe”, filled with expanded polystyrene balls, which have remained the symbolic seat of the "baba-cool" years. - The floor cushion: in Asian culture, this accessory is synonymous with saving space and feeling good. In Japan, it is traditional to sit on the floor when eating. Over the years, the Japanese have used it to improve their posture and promote good digestion. It is therefore logical that this design object has conquered modern interiors. Cushions: basic article, essential to the well-being, to the decoration of all good houses today and cushions with multiple uses and thanks to the team of Gifts-custopolis can be personalised for a wedding anniversary: whether for one year of marriage or more

Ludo pirate island

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.
