Good Witch and Evil Clown Duckies

Names: Good Witch and Evil Clown Duckies

Interests: Wheeling along the Sidney Heart Smart Walk

Where to Find: DGD Gifts in Sidney, BC 2446 Beacon Avenue.

Brand: Not sure

Price: $3.99 Cdn Each a great price


What's scarier than a clown? A clown on wheels. His best friend just wants to be a Good Little Witch. Even though my oldest daughter is now thirteen, I still have this Sofia the First song pop into my head a few times per year.


These are my first two rubber duckies on wheels. They enjoy racing each other too. Halloween is one week away and the excitement is building.


My parents were in Sidney for the day with friends, but I can't wait to visit DGD gifts myself and check out all their other duckies. There are tons. A special thanks to another local collector who told me about DGD Gifts.

Michaels 2024 Halloween Ducky Set


Names: Hippy, Franky, Witchy, Skely, and Midnight

Interests: Costume parades and parties

Where to Find: Ducks in the Window

Brand: Creatology

Price: $7.99 Cdn Each What? With a 30 percent off coupon they are $5.59 each so it was $27.95 for the set. However, last month I spent that price on one duck alone. The cost of duckies keeps going up too. Inflation equals pricey duckies.


Michaels has had a few ducky sets these past few months. There was a Back to School set in August and now a Halloween set. Meet Hippy (the ghost and my receipt said Hippy rubber ducky, Franky (my receipt said Frankenstein's Monster), Witchy (my receipt said witch duck, Skely (my receipt said Skeleton), and Midnight (my receipt said cat).


I have a lot of Halloween duckies. I'll have to count to see if my Easter or Christmas themed duckies wins for the most duckies in a particular theme.

This is a fish cage decoration that was used for our hamster.

Our first Halloween inflatable that my 9-year-old picked out from London Drugs.

Christmas Countdown Calendar Duckies

 Name: Christmas Countdown Calendar Duckies

Interests: Playing in the snow, skiing, sledding, and skating.

Where to Find: Online
Brand: Received as a gift in January 2023
Price: Not sure

Happy National Rubber Ducky Day! It's a cold one today at minus 10 with an Arctic wind here in Victoria. Our tiny skiff of snow lasted long enough for me to photograph these duckies.

Last January 2023, my husband's aunt bought me these rubber duckies as a belated Christmas gift. We had fun opening the advent calendar and all the accesssories. I like the size of these duckies, but there are 3 repeats within the calendar itself too. Therefore, I received 14 duckies in total in this calendar. The snowflake printed duckies with the sunglasses are my favourite and the one that has "Merry Christmas" printed on her too. The toques are cute as well.

Mini Canada Day Ducky

 Name: Mini Canada Day Ducky

Interests: Watching fireworks and hanging out with Canada Day Duck and all his other friends including poop. Tonight they are watching the fireworks from Esquimalt Lagoon
Where to Find: www.openaparty.com
Brand: Amscan
Price: $0.69 cents on sale

Happy 156th Birthday Canada! I purchased this ducky on Dec 06, 2020 from the online Canadian store in Toronto. A ducky collector I met in a Facebook group asked if someone in Canada could purchase this ducky and mail it to Australia and I did. I also sent her Canada Day Ducky too and she sent me Watermelon Ducky from Australia. Mini Canada Day Ducky loves to hang out with Poop duckies and other Emoji duckies from the vending machines including more Canada Day flag duckies that I have not blogged yet either. I have fallen behind on my collection documenting.

Mini Canada Day Ducky has sat in a bag in my office waiting for a spotlight blog post. However, I am creating a special Canada Day ducky shelf on my bookshelf so that she has been blogged she will have a home. I hope you all have a fabulous Canada Day! By the way, the large bunny in the photo is Bun Bun Bunny Beck.

Bearded Pat

Name: Bearded Pat Quadruplets Duckies

Interests: Ballet

Where to Find: My aunt found these at a Thrift store in Edmonton for me.

Brand: www.amscan.com

Price: Cheap




Bearded Pat is not to be confused with his cousins Carrot, and Patrick. Although, he brings them to the ballet sometimes as well. Bearded Pat loves attending ballet performances. The Victoria Ballet is his favourite. Tonight he is going to see Amadeus. 


Shortly, after their photo was taken, a giant cat named Jack walked through their crocus patch and tossed one of them up in the air. It was quite traumatic. They all went for a few sips of Guinness to recover. Happy St. Patrick’s Day 2023!


A Rolo for the pot, gold star confetti and an Air Head rainbow candy on a pretzel.

Valentine’s Day 2023 Trio Duckies

 Name: Valentine’s Day 2023 Trio Duckies

Interests: Accompanying homemade Valentine’s cards

Where to Find: Dollarama

Brand: It doesn’t say. There is nothing on the tag or bottom of the ducky except “Made in China” and Montreal, Quebec, Lot 232

Price: $2.50 each or $7.50 for the pair. 

I love that the trio has pink beaks as their signature theme. Hugs and Hearts ducky is the white ducky with purple and pink accents. She even has 4 varying size pink hearts on her wings. Light Pinky Unicorn is a great variation of a unicorn duck (I have quite a few unicorn duckies now). Hot Pink Love ducky has two small hearts on her wing.


I love that these duckies are the same style as the 2022 Dollarama Halloween duckies and Christmas duckies. I can’t help but wonder if there was a 4th Valentine’s Day duckie or a 4th Christmas ducky because my friend in Edmonton found a 4th Halloween ducky at Dollarama for me and maybe my location did not get this ducky in or sold out before I saw them. Although, I did purchase the Christmas duckies on Halloween so they were fresh on the shelves.


I have high hopes that there will be Easter duckies too and I am surprised the stock is not out yet as St. Patrick’s day stock has been out for a while, but I did not see any St. Patrick’s Day duckies. Let’s keep each other posted.

Chucky Ducky

Name: Chucky Ducky

Interests: I think you know

Where to Find: Ducks in the Window

Brand: Tubbz

Price: $21.99 US





Happy lucky Friday the 13th and National Rubber Ducky Day! Today, called for Chucky Ducky. I love the Chucky movies because Chucky is so cute and slightly creepy at the same time. Chucky is the perfect ducky to represent National Ducky Day on a Friday the 13th. Chucky is my second Tubbz rubber ducky.


This is my scariest rubber ducky that I received for Christmas. Chucky is in the Gingerbread murder scene bus. My father-in-law built this amazing bus gingerbread at our children's request.
