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 hints as to what someone would want for a gift only to get the response, "Just get whatever 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 their face? No one wants to buy a gift that the recipient won't enjoy, but how many original gifts are left in a world where anything you can think of is farther than a computer screen?

Fear not, for there is still at least one original and fun gift left in the world.Custom bobble head in someone's likeness is a gift that is sure to be a conversation starter, but will also be a gift that gives someone enjoyment well beyond the day that the gift is given. After all, how many people can say that they have a bobblehead of themselves?

It's actually pretty easy to find a place to make custom bobbleheads. For instance, there are dozens if not hundreds of websites that pop up when you do a search for "custom bobbleheads". Some sites will do a straightforward figure with the likeness of the person's face you want immortalized on the doll's head, while others will personalize the doll even further, letting you pick clothing, props in the bobblehead's hand, such as a golf club or a skillet, depending on what the person's hobby is, and even lets you make the bobblehead humorous, clothing the bobblehead in a Superman outfit or a caveman pelt.

Custom bobbleheads can also be given for serious occasions, as well. For example, some couples choose to forgo the typical bride and groom toppers to wedding cakes, instead choosing to create custom bobblehead dolls of 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 for a "thank you for all of your hard work" gift, or give parents or grandparents bobble head dolls of them as newlyweds to commemorate a 30th wedding anniversary. Custom bobbleheads also make interesting graduation gifts for that hard-to-buy-for daughter or son.

For those who are befuddled by what to buy their friends, loved ones, and co-workers, consider a custom bobblehead doll. They are easy to order via the internet, relatively inexpensive depending on what type of custom bobblehead you are looking for, and as far as unique gifts go, you're not going to do much better than a custom bobblehead doll.
