Give Cool Bobblehead Gifts This Holidays!
There is no one who doesn’t wait eagerly, as the winter approaches, for their Christmas gifts. From 5 to 52 people of all ages have a special feeling about the gifts they receive for Holidays. People take a lot of time in selecting a gift item and spend a fortune on the gifts for their loved ones. One waits with bated breath to see what their cherished ones have bought for them. Sometimes back it seemed that people were running out of ideas while making different gift items. Well, not any more, the advent of many young entrepreneurs for whom novelty is the key word while making and designing various gift items. A personalized Bobblehead doll, customized, is one such item which has caught the imagination of thousands of people.
Now a person may ask what a Bobblehead doll is. For them it may be said that a Bobblehead doll is a kind of a doll with usually an oversized head. The head is attached to the body with the help of a spring. If the doll is shaken or tapped the head will shake or wobble. It will look as if the doll is nodding its head. This gives these dolls the name “nodder” or “wobblers”. Even mere talking very close to these dolls make them shake their heads! In Oriental countries like China and Japan these dolls are said to have originated. However one also found it in the village fairs of India. In China and Japan the dolls were crafted with flexible strips of bamboo, which did the work of the spring, that is, nodded the doll’s head. However it is said that in Germany, in about later part of 18th century, these dolls were made; mostly out of bisque or ceramic. They had a height of about 8 inches. Modern dolls are copies of the ones made in Germany.
In about 1930s America showed a great interest in these dolls but they were later phased out of fashion. The interest revived in 1950s in America in these dolls. Though then they were made from ceramic. The dolls were very costly and as such were not affordable to all and sundry. The affluent mainly brought these dolls as collector’s specialties. However when various manufacturers initiated to manufacture these dolls with plastic and in large numbers they quickly appealed to the masses as they were readily affordable. At first these dolls were used as advertising models and show pieces to decorate the car interior. One such is the ‘hula girl’ which uses to hang over the dashboards of plenty of cars. They were made in shapes of animals, cartoon figures etc. Japan used to export papier-mâché made versions to America.
The Bobbleheads were of the colors of different baseball teams and as such were sought after by ardent baseball fans. The dolls represented the various baseball teams. Fans would have these dolls which would be dressed with the colors of the uniforms of the teams. Such dolls are still there intact are treated as collector’s items. Soon the Bobbleheads became icons in other sports as well. Many shaped as cartoon figures were popular among the children.
Today a Bobblehead as a Christmas gift is just the right idea. In fact it can be the perfect gift for wedding too and can be considered to be cool groomsmen gifts. A Bobblehead inspires hero worshipping and what could be better to have Jesus or Santa Claus as Bobbleheads, the icons of God’s love and mercy. After all Christmas is the celebration of God’s benevolence on his children
