Celebrate John Adams' 278th Birthday with a Classic Bobblehead

President John Adams 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.

Christmas Shopping Stress
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.

Custom Bobblehead Christmas Gift
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'

Custom Bobblehead Gift Review

"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."
