Makeover of our website!

Hello everyone !

Welcome to a new opus of “Offs du JJV”!

 Virtuous circle

 In an eco-responsible approach, a large part of our packaging received when ordering games is reused.

They can be used for the packaging of online orders, to create displays or even to create store and window decoration.

This is an approach that we have been carrying out since the creation of the store and apply in our daily actions.

For example, we turn off the lights of the sign, the store and the computers and other electrical and electronic devices as soon as we are closed or when they are not in use.

 The gift wrap that we offer is made of recycled and recyclable paper, as well as the adhesive tape which is made of a totally recyclable vegetable plastic.

We have exchanged all halogen bulbs in the store and the sign for LED bulbs that are better for the environment.

We donate furniture or objects that we no longer use so that they can have a second life.

We try to contribute on our small scale…

Good day and good game ;)

Thank you.

Passionate gamer

As you already know, I have been playing since I was young.

The world of games has always rocked my childhood and followed me until adulthood.

Working in a field where you live one of your passions is just great.

We no longer want to share it with everyone, because we love what we do.

As Novalis says

“To play is to experience chance”.

The game allows you to get together for a fun time.

Whether it is strategic, atmosphere, management, board, speed, etc...

The game is always a moment to sit down together and share.

Whether we take it very seriously or more lightly depending on our mood or desire to play at the moment, there is always a game that lends itself to our playful experiments, even the craziest... ;)

I leave the last word to one of my clients:

“We see that you love what you do, you put time and passion into it”.

Good day and good game ;)

Human first

I remember one day this CEO of a large company who came to the store for services and ended up buying games for his grandchildren because he told me that you could see that I knew from what I was talking about.

There followed a long discussion about why I created the store and how long I had been playing board games…

Taking care of the steps he had to take, I didn't realize that he was watching me carefully out of the corner of his eye, absorbed in the reception of my other clients.

Once he was done, he paid and told me the following things:

"You know how to listen and respond to customer requests, it's not given to everyone".

"The attentive and benevolent attitude you have towards people is an invaluable asset and few people have it"

"The good thing about you is that you see beyond business, you are human above all".

I thanked him, even though I don't know if I deserved all those compliments.

I am in commerce as I am in everyday life, no more, no less...

And if he reads this, I say thank you again for this conversation and these compliments that go straight to my heart.

Good day and good game ;)

Magic packets

During the Christmas period, we prepare different types of gift packages.

Our favorites remain those for children where we take particular pleasure in making original packages and hiding lots of little surprises in them. :)

I remember a merchant in the town where I was born who put out surprises in addition to Christmas presents. As a child, these little gifts made me happy.

From the first Christmas of the store, I took pleasure in creating or offering little surprises to hide in the gift or its package so that the children could feel the joy of an unexpected surprise in addition to the original gift.

I smile thinking of all these children who perhaps have the same pleasure as me, I had little to open gifts and discover more surprises... :)

Adding surprises that correspond to our customers and their children and seeing that they have had the desired effect (surprising and pleasing) is an incomparable pleasure, especially at Christmas.

It reminds me of this little 4-year-old man who came to get a surprise with a personalized package just for him and who asked me:

“And the gift packages, did the elves make them? ".

To which I nodded and he added,

"It's magic!" ".

Good day and good game ;)

Unique

During a time of volunteering, I found myself during an intergenerational play time to animate a role play.

As a game master, I have made it my mission to succeed in bringing parents and children together around secret objectives related to games...

The goal was to solve puzzles using the clues that each parent and each child had in their hands.

During this play time, an autistic child was afraid of the hubbub caused by the other apprentice investigators and their parents.

His mom was about to quit the game so she could reassure her autistic son when her other son started sulking, saying, "Mom, I don't want to quit the game."

The mother was going to try to calm her son down like she had done before, singing him a certain song that would calm him down.

Seeing this mother saddened that her other child can no longer play and having previously observed it, I approached the young autistic child and sat down in front of him, starting to sing the famous song.

He then took my hand to show me that he was reassured by the song and his mother smiled at me knowing that she could continue the game with her other son.

When her first son had calmed down, we joined them to finish the game and the evening ended very well.

When I left, this mother said to me:

"Never change, you are extra, that's what makes you unique".

We always end up reaping what we sow :)

Good day and good game ;)
