How many times have you found yourself in a situation where you struggled to think of the perfect gift to buy someone you work with, care about, or are in love with? How often have you asked for clues as to what someone would want as a gift only to get the response, “Just get what you think I’ll like. I’m sure I’ll love it!” only to buy the gift and see the look of confusion or disappointment on her face? No one wants to buy a gift the recipient won’t enjoy, but how many original gifts are left in a world where anything you can think of is beyond a computer screen?
Fear not, because there is still at least one original and fun gift in the world. Buying a bobblehead in someone’s likeness is a gift that’s sure to start a conversation, but it’s also a gift that will give someone enjoyment well beyond the day the gift is given. After all, how many people can say they have a stubborn self?
It’s actually quite easy to find a place to make custom bobbleheads. For example, there are dozens, if not hundreds, of websites that come up when you do a search for “custom doll heads.” Some sites will create a simple figure with the face of the person you wish to immortalize on the doll’s head, while others will further customize the doll, allowing you to choose clothing, accessories on the bobblehead’s hand, such as a golf club or frying pan . , depending on what the person’s hobby is, and even allows you to make the bobblehead comical by dressing him in a Superman suit or caveman skin.
You can also give personalized bobbleheads for serious occasions. For example, some couples choose to forego the typical bride and groom wedding cake toppers, choosing instead to create custom bobbleheads for each other to place on their cake. This gives the cake a personal touch that also stands out to the wedding guests. Others give bobbleheads to their secretaries as a “thank you for all your hard work” gift, or give parents or grandparents bobbleheads of them as newlyweds to commemorate a 30th wedding anniversary. Personalized bobblehead dolls also make interesting graduation gifts for that hard-to-buy-for-son daughter or son.
For those who are puzzled as to why to buy their friends, loved ones, and co-workers, consider a custom bobblehead. They’re easy to order online, relatively inexpensive depending on the type of personalized bobblehead you’re looking for, and when it comes to unique gifts, you won’t do much better than a personalized bobblehead.
