Celebrate John Adams' 278th Birthday with a Classic Bobblehead
John Adams was born on October 30, 1735.
"Learned and thoughtful, John Adams was more remarkable as a political philosopher than as a politician. "People and nations are forged in the fires of adversity," he said, doubtless thinking of his own as well as the American experience.
Adams was born in the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1735. A Harvard-educated lawyer, he early became identified with the patriot cause; a delegate to the First and Second Continental Congresses, he led in the movement for independence." - WhiteHouse.gov
Celebrate President Adams' 278th birthday with a premium historical bobblehead from Bobbleheads.com: http://www.bobbleheads.com/rbs1002/royal-bobbles/john-adams-bobblehead.html

Custom Bobbleheads: More Than A Gift
Christmas, Birthdays, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day,
Valentine’s Day, Anniversaries, Weddings, Graduation, Bachelor/Bachelorette
Parties, Retirement…
All of the above may not apply to you but it’s safe to say
virtually everyone has to give a gift at some point during the year, usually
multiple. Gift giving should be a fun and joyful pursuit but all too often
shoppers end up stressed out and discouraged. Maybe you’re shopping for someone
who’s “hard to shop for” or, at the other end of the spectrum, a “person who
has everything.” The sheer number of gifts available to give is mind numbing.
We've all been there. Sometimes, Christmas shopping
isn't all sleigh rides and silver bells.
Once you’re fed up, beaten, and broken, you get lazy. It
happens to everyone. After giving up on the “perfect gift,” you settle for gift
cards and whatnot, trying to convince yourself it’s a gift from the heart. It’s
time to stop the charade and makegift-giving fun again with Custom Bobbleheads. Have you been to a baseball
game lately, or any sporting event for that matter? Bobbleheads are a staple in
society today and more popular than ever.
Skip the gift cards and socks. Give something a little more personal...
and less likely to end up in the trash.
If you have bobbleheads of your own, their likeness is probably
based on an athlete, celebrity, or historical figure. Most think bobbleheads
are exclusive to “famous” people but that couldn’t be further from the truth.
In fact, Custom Bobbleheads can be
made for anyone or any occasion, especially the ones listed in the
beginning of this article.
You hear over and over again “it’s the thought that counts.”
Uninspired or lazy gifts often end up in the trash or stashed away somewhere
they’ll never see the light of day. Nobody wants their gift buried in a
dumpster. Thankfully, Custom Bobbleheads don’t suffer such a fate. Instead,
they’re proudly displayed for the world to see. These figures are great
conversation starters at dinner parties and a source of entertainment for
family and friends. More importantly, they remind us of a friendship, fandom,
or special moment in life. Custom bobbleheads conjure up wonderful memories of pure
unadulterated happiness and joy the way very few gifts can.
Think about an occasion coming up in your life, or someone
else’s, which deserves a more personal gift. Don’t deprive them of those
feelings and memories with a gift card or shirt. Remind them why they’re a
special part of your life with something unique and thoughtful. Visit CustomBobbleheads.com for the
perfect personal gift.

Custom Bobblehead Review: 'Dad calls it his new prized possession'
"I'm finally following up with a photo of my Dad with what he is calling, 'his new prized possession.' He loves his bobblehead and was so happy to receive it. When we presented it to him, the look on his face was PRICELESS! My nephews jumped out of their chairs to see it up close and within 20 minutes two of my nephews were cornering me in the kitchen asking for my help in getting one made for their dad and one for their other grandpa. The other day I was at my parents and my dad's bobblehead was proudly displayed on the kitchen counter." - Nancy Fischer
Thanks for the sharing your story Nancy! We're so happy your dad was thrilled with his bobblehead. Visit CustomBobbleheads.com and give someone special their new "prized possession."

Bring Your Office to Life with Bobbleheads
It all started with Dwight on The Office…
Dwight and The Office started the cubicle bobblehead movement!
Bobbleheads have exploded onto the office scene as employees
(and bosses) look for ways to liven up their work space. Some people even refer
to their bobbles as “work toys.” It makes sense, seeing as that bobbleheads are
supposed to be fun and entertaining. Unfortunately, many don’t associate “work”
with “fun” so bobbleheads provide a moment of levity during the daily grind.
Perhaps taking the place of stress balls, bobbleheads can be
found on the desktops of employees in Fortune 500 companies and small
businesses alike. The approving nature of these figures can be soothing. A
bobblehead is the consummate “yes man,” always nodding with approval. It thinks
your idea is great. It thinks you deserve that promotion and a raise. From
Einstein to President Obama, they all agree you’re Employee of the Month.
Studies show making your office or workspace more personal
can improve productivity. As with anything, moderation is the key. There’s no
need to clutter your space but a couple of knick knacks, like a bobblehead,
won’t hurt. Besides, your desk says something about you. It makes a personal
statement. You can be hard-working and fun at the same time. Show coworkers and
management you’re more than just spreadsheets and TPS reports.
Clyde Frazier loves basketball and hates TPS reports.
Whatever your interests are outside of work, there’s a
bobblehead associated with it. If you’re a sports fan, teams have bobbleheads
for the mascots and players in most cases. What about book enthusiasts? Take
your pick of many famous authors like Shakespeare, Twain, and Poe. Maybe TV and
movies are more your style. There’s bound to be a bobblehead available for your
favorite characters. History buffs are also in luck because of easy access to
Presidents, politicians, war heroes, and other historical figures.
It’s been well documented the majority of people hate their
jobs. The office can be a dull and dreadful place. If you must spend 40 hours a
week there minimum, why not brighten it up a bit with a bobblehead or two.
Visit Bobbleheads.com to
make your office fun (or at least bearable) and boost productivity.
