Step 1: Choose Your Bobblehead Type
Occasion-Based Selection

We'll document the birthday star's style, from party hats to beloved ensembles, making their special day into a lifelong memory, whether for a milestone like their 30th or 50th birthday or to add some fun.
- Holiday & Seasonal Gifts: With a Holiday Custom Bobblehead, you may spread joy on occasions like Valentine's Day, Halloween, and Christmas. To surprise loved ones and give a unique touch to the season, picture a bobblehead dressed as Santa for Christmas, a witch for Halloween, or a passionate pair for Valentine's Day.
- Corporate & Business Gifts: Use a Corporate Custom Bobblehead to up the ante on your business gifts. Perfect for teambuilding awards, customer appreciation, or staff anniversaries, we can personalize bobbleheads to reflect your business (think logo-branded clothing, team uniforms) or essential team members. They are distinctive workplace décor and enduring gifts of appreciation.
Person & Character - Centric Picks

Give us your favorite poses, reference material, or memorable looks, and we'll create a bobblehead that perfectly captures your favorite character. It's perfect for displaying or adding to your collection.
Step 2: Submit Your Reference Materials
Photos
High-quality images are essential. Send crisp images of a human bobblehead taken from the front, side, and rear. Ensure the pictures capture specifics such as face characteristics, hairdo, and unusual attire. You must take clear images of your pet's face and body shape if it's a pet bobblehead (yes, we also make custom pet bobbleheads!).
Our order page allows you to submit your images immediately. Our user-friendly and safe upload process guarantees that your pictures are kept private and are just used to make your personalized bobblehead.
Detailed Instructions
Please let us know if you want any specific information in the pictures. For instance, specify the color, style, and logos or emblems if you would like your bobblehead to be dressed in a particular ensemble, such as a boss's suit (for executive-themed ideas, see our well-liked Boss Custom Bobbleheads).
Give a detailed description of the stance you want, such as standing with your hands on your hips or clutching a briefcase. We can get closer to creating your perfect bobblehead the more details you provide us.
Step 3: Production, Shipping, & Delivery
Third: Crafting & Fast Fulfillment
Following your approval of the proof, our staff will start the final product:
