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."

Want a Promotion? Give Bobbleheads as Gifts on Boss’s Day

Everyone knows in order to get ahead you’ve got to put in a little extra effort. Such is true in life and especially your career. If you want a raise or promotion, you have to impress your boss. More importantly, you need to be top-of-mind when those opportunities arise. National Boss Day, coming up October 16^th, gives you another chance to stand out from the pack. When the annual review comes around, your gift may even put you over the top.

Bosses can be difficult to shop for because they’re an authority figure. They make more than you, in some cases a lot more, so they might fall into the category of “person who has everything.” Employees sometimes stress themselves out looking for the perfect gift too. Both of these scenarios ultimately lead to lazy gifts like coffee mugs, flowers, or candy. A card signed by the office is another popular, albeit unoriginal and uninspiring, Boss’s Day gift idea.

Make a statement to your boss with a custom bobblehead. Custom bobbleheads take a little more time and effort but the results are worth it. For a boss who has everything, there’s a 99.9% chance they don’t have their own personal bobblehead. You can also be virtually certain nobody else in the office is giving them one for Boss’s Day either. It’s a personal gift that shows commitment and attention to detail, two qualities a boss looks upon favorably in their employees.

As a Boss’s Day gift, the custom bobblehead will blow everyone away. Your boss will smile, laugh, and pose for pictures with the doll. It’ll be quite the scene in your office and a hot topic around the water cooler for other employees. Even better, the bobblehead’s going to be prominently displayed in your boss’s office for everybody to see. All of a sudden, this thoughtful gift becomes your own personal billboard on the boss’s desk. Now you’re top-of-mind when the next promotional opportunity presents itself.

Every time your boss looks at their bobblehead they'll think of you. 

Bonus: The bobblehead will always nod in your favor.

The popular saying goes, “you make your own luck.” Take control of your career, go the extra mile, and steal the show on National Boss Day. This small investment could serve as a springboard to a bigger, brighter future. Custom bobbleheads are individually hand-crafted and hand-painted. The process, which includes sculpting, proofing, and shipping, typically takes 6-8 weeks. Plan your boss’s bobblehead surprise in advance and order early.

Capture the Special Moments in Life with a Bobblehead

The LA Dodgers held their highly-anticipated Rick Monday ‘FlagSaving’ Bobblehead Night Tuesday to commemorate an awesome act of patriotism that took place on April 25, 1976. That was the day Chicago Cubs outfielder, and former Marine, Rick Monday saved an American flag from being burned by protesters in the outfield at Dodgers Stadium. It was a moment in time many Dodgers, Cubs, and diehard baseball fans probably remember but the casual fan and younger generations not so much. 

This is one of the great things about bobbleheads. They can be used to capture and celebrate a special moment. Bobbleheads are practically like 3-D photographs. People who capture memories in pictures can now immortalize them in bobblehead form. A fascinating story like Rick Monday’s was brought back to life almost 40 years later because of a bobblehead. Lucky fans who were able to snag a bobblehead will likely never forget Monday’s heroic tale as a result of the doll.

You see a lot of bobbleheads, especially in sports, used in this capacity. If a team wins a championship, they create a bobblehead to honor it. If a player wins an award, they get their own bobblehead celebrating the accomplishment. What many fail to realize is bobbleheads aren’t just for athletes and superstars anymore. Custom bobbleheads give everyone an opportunity to commemorate the special events in their lives.

As "King and Queen" of Mardi Gras, this couple was 

given custom bobbleheads to celebrate the occasion.

People turn to bobbleheads for all kinds of occasions including:

• Weddings (Anniversaries and Engagements too)
• Work milestones, especially retirement
• Vacation trips
• Birthdays (even pet birthdays)
• Graduation
• Corporate promotions
• Family Reunions
• All Holidays, especially Christmas, Father's and Mother's Day
• Adult and youth sports recognition
• Fundraisers for a good cause

This gentleman, a long-time barber, was presented 

with a bobblehead upon his retirement.

Basically, any extraordinary occurrence in your personal or professional life can be recreated and remembered with a bobblehead. Visit CustomBobbleheads.com to capture your moment forever.

3 Reasons Why Custom Bobbleheads Make Great Coach’s Gifts

Pee-wee and little league coaches help today’s youth learn the value of teamwork, sportsmanship, and competition. They volunteer time and energy, often asking for nothing in return.  However, parents and children typically present the coach or coaches with a gift of some kind at the end of the season to show their appreciation. Rewards vary widely, from signed balls to restaurant gift cards, and everyone chips in to split the cost.

Team moms looking for something a little more fun and original are choosing custom bobbleheads. Here are three reasons why they make excellent coach’s gifts…

Glasses, shoes, visor, capture it all with a bobblehead!

1) Personal: Bobbleheads can be customized from head-to-toe to include clipboards, visors, team logos, and more. No two coaches are alike so why present them with a generic trophy or award. Instead, capture their unique appearance and demeanor forever with a custom bobblehead.

2) Interactive: Many people enjoy the creative process behind a custom bobblehead. Some team parents even involve the kids by letting them help pick out their coach’s bobblehead features and accessories. This makes for an all-around great experience and can even be used as a team building activity.

3) Fun: Quite frankly, bobbleheads are just more fun than other gifts. Kids and coaches alike will enjoy them so it’s a win-win scenario. At the end of the day, or season in this case, isn’t sports all about having fun? Imagine the smiles and laughter when your coach receives their bobblehead at the team’s end-of-season party. They’ll treasure that bobblehead forever.

Keep in mind these awesome gifts are individually hand-crafted and hand-painted. Custom bobbleheads typically take 6-8 weeks for sculpting, shipping, and proofing so plan ahead. Now’s a great time to place your order because many seasonal sports are starting up soon or have just begun. Visit CustomBobbleheads.com and build your coach’s bobblehead today!
