Recently,
a group of friends and I were invited to a friend’s house. It was supposed to
be a gathering of old friends. The hostess took advantage of the gathering to
plan a small scale celebration. We have known each other since our school days.
Some of us have been promoted to the status of grandmothers, some of us have
not and the rest have chosen to remain singles.
We
look forward to our gatherings as opportunities to come together for
strengthening of our friendship. There is so much to talk about concerning topics
on family, grand kids, tours and holidays, sickness and health, meeting up with
long lost friends and where to go for good and reasonably priced food and the
latest happenings in town.
On
this recent gathering, the most talked about topic was the wedding of our
hostess’ daughter. Most of us didn’t attend the wedding because it was held oversea.
So the hostess decided to celebrate the happy occasion of her daughter’s
wedding with us by inviting us to her house for a home cooked lunch.
Our
hostess showed us some of the wedding photos and one friend commented on the
big wedding cake in one of the photos. On top of the big cake, there was a weddingbobbleheads as cake topper. We have seen cake toppers using normal wedding couple dolls. But this special cake topper was a custom made wedding couple
bobbleheads resembling the images of the bride and groom.
To
be frank, I was interested in the custom made bobbleheads. At home, I googled for
bobbleheads and I was enlightened! I recalled I have seen pre-made
couple-in-love figurines with their heads mounted on spring and when touched,
their heads will nod, wobble or bobble up and down. The figurines are usually
made of clay.
The
website I happened to visit for information was custombobbleheadssale.com. From
what I gathered, these bobbleheads are usually made from polyresin or polymer
clay material. Polymer clay is of better quality than polyresin and more
expensive. But polymer is more flexible for designing and carving and the
colours will not fade easily.
The
bobbleheads are made to reflect the appearance of the person or persons in the
photos sent by their customers. These figurines can be engaged in different
kind of activities and sports or in various poses. Besides customizing the
face, customers can also request for a full head to toe customization.
Custom
made bobblehead figurines are fast catching up as a unique gift item. Instead
of the usual flowers, soft toys, chocolate, wallets, etc. as gifts, these
bobbleheads will be extra ordinary gifts for anniversaries, valentines,
birthdays, and other special occasions. These specially and carefully thought
gifts will surely make the receivers feel special and loved. We can even custom
made these bobbleheads of our own pets or for ourselves.
Also
available are bobbleheads of sports figures for sport fans, superheroes, kids, famous people,
work and casual figures, couple and bridesmaid figures, bobbleheads for him or
her, wedding bobbleheads and many others as well.
