New Year

Dinosaurs are creatures that have always fascinated young and old alike, as they were giant, impressive and imposing animals. There were many varieties of dinosaurs, some flying, others roaming the earth; some were bipedal, others four-legged. Some were carnivorous and others were herbivorous. They had either crests, horns and many other appearances. These dinos dominated and reigned supreme millions of years ago. Their reign, undivided over the whole earth, lasted several tens of millions of years and ended in an apocalyptic catastrophe that still frightens us today: the fall of an asteroid that caused their disappearance. There are many films retracing the frightening adventures or not of these dinosaurs, such as Jurassic Park. In the clan of the nice dinosaurs, there are for example: "Little Foot" in "The Dinosaur and the Valley of Wonders", "Rex" in "Toy Story" and "Denver" in "Denver the Last Dinosaur". These films of gentle dinosaurs have generated the attraction of younger people to dinosaurs in various forms. The dinosaur that we offer has several undeniable assets for him: it lights up, changes colour, has a 15-minute timer and moreover this dino is very friendly. It will delight the little ones as well as for children as a birthday present, as a Christmas present and for parents an asset for children who are afraid in the dark.

The rabbit is undoubtedly a very nice pet, recognizable by its long ears, soft coat, small bushy tail, two teeth and a small muzzle that moves without stopping. It is a friendly animal that can be stroked and is loved by all children. They love to watch them on the farm and give them carrots.

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.

The progress of human beings has been made through multiple small changes in the uses and ways of acting. One of these changes is undoubtedly the way of consuming, the utensils and objects used, as we have previously mentioned in our articles on mugs. Kitchen items have evolved over time according to cultures and needs. The mug is one of those famous instruments of our daily life that have a history and whose usefulness is no longer in question. The mug is now tending to be rivalled by the mug, which is a large, much more fashionable cup used without a saucer. A mug is a large cylindrical container with a handle, used without a saucer, which is equivalent in appearance to a cup and is used for drinking or measuring in Europe and Quebec, and only for drinking hot liquids in North America. A mug can also be made of clay, glass or enamelled metal. Its use varies from region to region and it can be decorated and personalised as desired. Mugs can be of different colours, quite usual and simple, fluorescent, flashy etc. sometimes with patterns or a colour inside the mug which can sometimes be very varied A mug has the singularity of being able to be customised according to one's taste and wishes. They are also available in different sizes and formats.

History of the cup The Calabrian goblet cup is slightly rounded at the base, with a slightly flared upper rim. The Etruscan cup made in 1786 for Queen Marie-Antoinette in the Rambouillet dairy. The jasmine cup, intended for chocolate: slightly flared, on a small base that serves as a pedestal, called a piédouche, it is decorated with animal claws and has rolled handles that are higher than the cup. The duck cup is small and is used to dip a sugar cube into three drops of coffee. The same name is given to the cup that bedridden patients drink from. It has a handle for the carer and a long spout that can be slipped between the patient's lips to avoid spilling the liquid. The analogy between the spout and the bird's beak led to the name "duck". The duck was mainly made of earthenware until the end of the 20th century, when this material was replaced by plastic. The filter or herbal tea cup is large and has a built-in filter. The broth cup is wide and flared, with a lid and two side handles. The moustache cup, created at the end of the 19th century, is a cup with a semi-circular inner rim. The rim has a crescent-shaped opening that prevents the liquid from reaching the hair of moustached drinkers.

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.

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.

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.
