Anyone ever order a CUSTOM Bobble-head?

[vash]

My wife’s birthday is several months away. She challenged me to be original with the gift. Challenge accepted.

I think a pair of bobble-heads of us two would be awesome. His/her bobble heads! Anyone successfully get this done.? $60ish ea. haha. I’m trying to get the order in early just in case the lead time is extensive.

I divorced the first wife after I heard guys were calling her Bobble-head.

[upsscott]

Dwight had one.

They started out as a variation on the Japanese kokeshi dolls. The spring made them "bow". I think my reaction would be "hmmm"..

Someone got us bobble heads for our wedding . They sent in a picture of us. Cute gift, but they do not look like us at all .
My bobble head looks like A bleach blonde bill clinton . Weird o rama..
My wife's bobble is kind of cute ( just like her) ,but does not resemble her in any way .
I have them sitting on my home office desk .
What do you have to lose ?

Yes, we had one made for a former boss when he retired.

Oh, boy: What else are you bringing to the table? The Bobble Heads are an excellent opening gambit for a giggle but you better have a strong second serve.

I am the farthest thing from Lance Romance on the planet but when your wife asked you to be "original" what she is really saying is be "thoughtful".

Jesus, kids today.

I'm in agreement with this. Not romantic, and the match could be a fail. You can do much better!

Again, good first offering. The first thing Mrs. Vash is going to do is judge how well the BH, HER bobble head, looks. First thing.

If it is not attractive to her, she doesn't think the BH flatters her, best of luck.

Think: Call her Mom or siblings and ask them what she loved as a child, what was special to her. Ask her Dad.

What was her apartment like when you first started dating: Books, artwork, etc?

She has dropped hints, YOU just have to remember them.

Obviously you know Mrs..Vash better than any of us, but my wife and sister-in-law law both say ixnay on the obblehead-bay.

A day at the spa. A weekend (with you) at an inn.

These women (my wife and SIL) say they need more info. What does she like?

[A930Rocket]

A kayak and fishing pole?

[SCadaddle]

Custom Bobble-Heads for yourself and the wife? Sure!

But don't settle for just you and the wife, get another one of a woman of color! Then open the box and act all perplexed about how they weren't supposed to ship them all in the same box......

[flatbutt]

I'm a two time romantic loser so I've got nuthin', but this should be entertaining.

Good luck Vash!

[Steve Carlton]

Yeah. A food processor.
