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. An original Star Wars gift to discover on Gifts-custopolis. com.
