Are you ready to bob your head in excitement?
Hold on to your heads, because January 7th is officially Bobblehead Day!
A day to celebrate those wobbly wonders of the world that have been entertaining us for decades.
And let’s not forget, they also provided us with a playful way of expressing our love and admiration for our favorite teams, players, characters, and more.
Bobblehead Day was created in December 2014 by the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum, a non-profit organization dedicated to educating and entertaining the public about bobbleheads.
The organization wanted to establish an official day for the beloved item and chose January 7th as the day to celebrate it.
Bobbleheads have a rich history, dating back to ancient civilizations where figurines with wobbly heads were used in religious ceremonies.
Today, bobbleheads are still popular collectibles, with hundreds of different designs and styles available.
Bobbleheads are a fun and unique way to show off your interests and personality.
They can be used to represent your favorite sports teams, bands, movies, and more.
They are also a great conversation starter and can bring a little bit of whimsy and joy to your life.
So, how can we celebrate such a seemingly stationary subject as the bobbleheads?
- Display your bobbleheads.
Set up a display of your bobbleheads and let them shine.
Whether you have a collection of sports bobbleheads or ones featuring your favorite characters, take them out of storage and put them on display.
They can make great decorations for your home or office.
You can even create a theme such as all sports bobbleheads or all fictional characters. - Add a new bobblehead to your collection.
Whether it’s a sports player, musician, or your favorite character, there’s a bobblehead out there for everyone.
You can find them online, at toy stores, or even at your local sports stadium. - Additionally, you can also make your own bobblehead!
You can use a DIY kit, or make one from scratch using clay and a plastic head. Not only is it a fun activity, but it also allows you to personalize your bobblehead to your liking.
Many companies offer custom bobblehead making services, where you can create a personalized bobblehead of yourself, your friends, or even your pets. - You can also give a bobblehead as a gift to a friend or family member who shares your passion for these collectibles.
- You could “nod to the past” by visiting the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, which is the world’s only museum dedicated to bobbleheads.
They have over 6,000 bobbleheads on display and offer a glimpse into the history and evolution of bobbleheads. - You can also celebrate Bobblehead Day by hosting a bobblehead swap with friends and family, or by participating in a bobblehead scavenger hunt.
Or, for the sports-minded, organize a “Bobblehead Scavenger Hunt” and search for bobbleheads of your favorite players or teams. - Trade with other bobblehead collectors.
Find online groups or communities of bobblehead collectors and trade with them to expand your collection. Invite friends and family over to show off your collection and maybe even start a bobblehead trading circle. - Finally, you can also celebrate by simply nodding your head in agreement, just like a bobblehead.
Bobblehead Day is a reminder of the joy and playfulness that can be found in the most unexpected places.
It’s a celebration of the silly side of life and a way to inject some humor and fun into our daily routines.
So, let’s all give a nod to Bobblehead Day by displaying our collections, trading for new ones or even making our own!
Don’t be afraid to “bobble your head” to the beat of your own drum and celebrate in your own unique way!
And remember, a bobble a day keeps the stiff neck away. So, let’s bobble on and enjoy this special day.
