You love giving gifts. You always have. It's something that everyone knows about you. Gifts are your thing. It doesn't matter to you whether they're for birthdays, holidays, or special occasions. Sometimes you like to spring a little something on someone just to surprise them. The problem, of course, is that you give so many gifts that you are always on the look out for new gift ideas.
You were rather excited a couple of days ago when you spotted a little bobble head doll on one of your co-workers desks and asked him about it; you see, it looked uncannily like him and you wondered who exactly it was modelled after. He smiled and told you that his fiance had it custom made online somewhere. You had never heard of such a thing. You rushed back to your desk, jumped online, and discovered something amazing; you are able to order miniature figurines and bobble heads online these days!
## Lots of sites to choose from
The biggest, most exciting surprise wasn't merely that a website for custom miniature figurines existed but that, in reality, many such sites existed. How you love the internet. 3D Figurines, bobble heads, miniatures, and even articulated action figures can be custom made to look like anybody you wish. Competition, you know, always favours the consumer and that's probably why the price tags you found were so affordable.
## The likenesses are amazing
Each site produces slightly different styles and interpretations of the subjects they are asked to portray but the online portfolios of miniatures are quite amazing. Many of the likenesses are quite good and some are downright uncanny.
## So many potential gift ideas
The exciting thing about custom miniature figurines is that unlike a lot of gift ideas there are simply so many playful, light hearted applications that you could present a miniature to nearly anyone:
- a figurine of yourself for your mother who claims that she doesn't see enough of you anymore
- a Bruce Willis bobble head for your friend in Reno who's watched the movie Armageddon at least thirty times
- a clay miniature of Prime Minister Stephen Harper for your Canadian chum to drive pins into
- mini-spouses for the cubicles of your favourite co-workers
The possibilities are practically endless.
## And it's such a straight forward process
While all the sites are slightly different, most of them require the same thing in order to craft a custom likeness. All you need to do is upload a few clear, relatively close-up images of the person in question. The images should feature natural expressions, be well lit, and if you can send more than one angle (straight on and profile for example) that will certainly help.
Two of your close friends from high school are finally getting married after living together for six years. They've told everybody that they don't want gifts. But perhaps you'll scan photos of them from the yearbooks and get custom couple figurines made anyway. It is not going to be an enormous ceremony as it turns out and you are not even certain if there will be a "wedding cake" but the figurines would an awesome little gift regardless; small enough that neither of them could possibly object.
