A hand-held object holder includes an aesthetic component having an upper portion secured to a lower portion by a spring, such that the upper portion can wobble back and forth relative to the lower portion. A sound-generating component is secured to the aesthetic component, so that as the upper portion wobbles back and forth, a sound is generated. Finally, at the lower end of the aesthetic component, there is a coupling member for securing an object, such as a candy item, to the aesthetic component.
