We Built the Site We Wished Existed

If you've ever Googled "what bobbleheads are coming up this week" and gotten 14 different tabs, three outdated Reddit threads, and a team website that only shows their own promotions — this site is for you.

The Bobble Guide is the one-stop source for bobblehead and giveaway schedules across North American sports. Every team. Every league. Every promotional night worth knowing about — all in one place.

We cover:

  • MLB — All 30 teams, every giveaway, every bobblehead, every fireworks night
  • MiLB — Hundreds of Minor League teams across every level, from Triple-A to Single-A
  • NHL / AHL / ECHL — Hockey bobbleheads and theme nights across all levels
  • NFL / CFL / IFL — Football giveaways from the pros to the indoor leagues
  • NBA / G-League / WNBA — Basketball promos across every court
  • MLS / NWSL — Soccer bobbleheads and supporter night giveaways

If someone's giving away a bobblehead at a sporting event in North America, it's on this site.

What You'll Find Here

📅 The Schedule

Our core product is the giveaway calendar — searchable by team, league, date, location, and type of giveaway. Want to know every bobblehead within 100 miles of your house in the next 30 days? We've got that. Want to see what's happening at Dodger Stadium all season? We've got that too.

Every team gets its own page. Every league gets its own landing page. And the map view lets you visually browse every stadium in North America to find what's happening near you.

🗺️ The Trip Planner

Here's where it gets fun. Our Trip Planner lets you filter by location, radius, date range, league, team, and giveaway type — then maps out a multi-stop route for you. Heading to Texas for a long weekend? Plug in your dates and radius, and we'll show you every bobblehead within driving distance. It's the tool we built because we needed it ourselves.

📝 The Blog

You're reading it right now. This is where we go beyond the raw schedule and tell you what's actually worth your time. Every week, we publish:

  • Weekly Roundups — The best giveaways, fireworks nights, and MiLB hidden gems from Friday through Thursday. Drops every Wednesday.
  • Road Trip Guides — Multi-day bobblehead routes with day-by-day itineraries, budget breakdowns, and booking links. Because the best bobbleheads are worth a drive.
  • Holiday & Theme Guides — Father's Day, July 4th, Star Wars Night, Heritage Nights — curated guides for the biggest promotional weekends of the year.
  • "Best Of" Lists — The wildest MiLB giveaways, the most unique bobbleheads, the sleeper picks most collectors miss.
  • Personal Collection Reviews — About 10 times a year, I'll share a hands-on review of a bobblehead or giveaway I personally attended and collected. Real photos, real stories, honest takes.

Why This Exists

My name's Mike, and I'm a bobblehead collector.

Not in a "I have 3,000 bobbleheads and buy them off marketplace" way (though respect to those people). More in a "I make sure to get every bobblehead for my home teams and find ways to visit other stadiums on giveaways" way.

A few years ago, I realized something: there was no single place that tracked giveaways across all leagues. The MLB teams post their own schedules. The MiLB teams post theirs. Hockey, football, basketball — all fragmented. If you wanted to know what was happening across the entire landscape of North American sports promotions, you had to check dozens of team websites, follow hundreds of social media accounts, or rely on word of mouth.

That's a lot of work. And a lot of missed bobbleheads.

So I built The Bobble Guide. One site. All leagues. All teams. Every giveaway. Updated constantly.
