Custom Puppets

5 big fat stars for Custom Puppets for helping me give the coolest birthday gift ever! A longtime fan of The Muppets, my boyfriend practically had to drag me to see the most recent Muppet movie. But we both left in awe at how cute and creative the storyline was. He loves them even more than ever and we’ve spent the last 2 months singing along to the Muppet Movie album in our car when we travel. So when it came time to think of a gift for him for his birthday I thought I needed to get him something no one else had. Like most gadgety, geeky guys, he always goes out and gets what he wants. His list of wants is either too expensive or too impossible. Then suddenly it hit me… I could have a custom-​made muppet of him made!
Worrying about whether it could be a weird gift or a great gift, I asked a few of his friends. When everyone shrieked and said, «YES! DO IT!!» I knew I had it in the bag. After some quick online research I settled on Custom Puppets. James was incredibly kind and helpful throughout the 6 week building/​shipping process. I sent in photos of Jim and pre-​paid for the work. I got emails about every 2 weeks that either gave me an update on the progress or showed actual photos of the muppet while under construction. I happened to mention some really specific details and when the muppet arrived, it was PERFECT!
Now it’s a few weeks to the birthday and I just couldn’t wait any longer. I convinced Jim to let me give him his gift early and we’ve spent the last few days cracking up and having a blast with the new 24″ Jim muppet. Facebook has blown up with people begging to learn where I had it made… so here’s hoping this glowing review helps too! I don’t think I could ever top this gift. Thanks to James and Custom Puppets for helping make this such a memorable birthday.
