MiracleJiggy Last year, we decided to switch things up for our tech-savvy dad. Instead of going for the traditional coffee mug or tie, we went for something totally unexpected and personalized – a bobblehead of his all-time favorite football player.Reply
The look on his face when he unwrapped that gift was priceless! He couldn't stop smiling, and it added a unique touch to his collection of football memorabilia. It's become quite the conversation starter too, whenever friends come over.
