He's living it right now.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMeet Saeed Samdin, Salam's little brother. He's 5, he lives in Gaza, and his name means happy.\u003cbr\u003eSomehow, he still is.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHis days look like this:\u003cbr\u003e☐ go to school in a tent\u003cbr\u003e☐ help at home\u003cbr\u003e☐ bath time at the beach\u003cbr\u003e☐ hide and seek between the tents\u003cbr\u003e☐ chase Basha\u003cbr\u003e☐ fly a kite - not really, not anymore\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe sweeps the sand out of the tent with a broom taller than he is. He learns his letters on a chalkboard in a tent classroom. He shrieks when the seawater hits his head at bath time. He always loses at hide and seek, because his feet stick out from behind the tent flap. And he has never once caught Basha, and he never will.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHis paper kite hangs on the tent pole now. In August 2026, kite flying was banned in Gaza after Israel warned that kites crossing the line would be treated as an act of war. For the children of Gaza, kites were one of the last simple joys left.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe's five. He still finds a way to be five.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Samdin Family Collection\u003cbr\u003eSaeed is the fifth of the Samdin family. Each mug follows one family member through a daily routine you'd recognise, lived the way Gaza lives it. Every family member is named for something they don't have: peace, happiness, hope, safety, life. Their family name, Samdin (صامدين), means steadfast.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEverything they're named for was taken. Except their name.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe design\u003cbr\u003eThe mug is hand-illustrated in soft colored pencil and wraps all the way around. It's woven with Palestinian details: olive branches, tatreez cross-stitch stars, seashells from Gaza's shore, and Saeed's red, cream and green paper kite.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGood for\u003cbr\u003e- Your morning coffee. A daily reminder of a childhood that's still fighting to exist.\u003cbr\u003e- A meaningful gift for parents, teachers and anyone who works with children.
