Cafe Racer Ducky from Zydeco Gifts

Interests: Turning vintage bikes into Cafe Racers.
Where to Find: Zydeco Gifts
Brand: Goodview Industries Co, Inc
Price: $3.98 Cdn

I like to ride in style.

My husband purchased a 1978 Honda CB750 at the end of March and he is turning it into a Cafe Racer style of motorcycle.  It is quite the undertaking, but he is having fun and learning lots as he goes.

Cafe Racer Ducky is what I named this rubber duck. On the bottom of the duck, it says his name is Rubber Smart Biker Duck (boring name). Cafe Racer Ducky has eyes that look like upside down quotation marks from a typewriter. He is decked out in a leather jacket that is too tight to zipper up and a black helmet. His beak is bright red. He also has odd beige padding on either side below his jacket. Perhaps, this is supposed to be pants?

Yin Yang Ducky from Edmonton

Name: Ying Yang Ducky

Where to Find: Vending Machine at Cineplex Odeon North Edmonton
Brand: Eye Poppers by Krazy Town
Price: $2.00 Cdn

Pull my yang. 

I visited the Windermere Cineplex Odeon today for Community Day which means free movies and the money from popcorn sales went to charity. It was a great event and we saw Alvin and the Chipmunks Chipwrecked. However, I was disappointed that there wasn’t a rubber ducky gumball machine. In time, they may get gumball machines. After all, they have only been open a week.

Yin Yang ducky is all black and has a white bill and a white and black Ying yang symbol on his belly. He reminds me of junior high because I was really into the Ying Yang jewlery at that time. I had the earrings and the necklace.

Eight Ball Ducky from Pigeon Lake

Interests: Shooting pool and calling the shots.
Where to Find: Vending machine at Pigeon Lake (but it is no longer there)
Brand: Flatline Corporate, Feelin' Ducky

I am a shark.

My friend Gail bought me this rubber duck from Pigeon Lake last summer. If you have seen another vending machine (as I call them but I guess they are really gumball machines) selling these rubber ducks in Canada then please let me know. You can view more of this type of mini rubber duck from one of my new favorite websites. I would love to have the complete set of these mini guys. If the hole in their bottoms was bit bigger they could be a pencil topper.

Eight Ball Ducky is all black except for his grey beak, eyes and the round 8 ball on his belly. He is pretty cool. I just checked the forum and found out that the real name of this rubber duck is Crazy 8 and the other duck I posted is Ten Pin. There is even a Twitter and Facebook rubber ducky. I want them!

Brush your Teeth Ducky from Zydeco Gifts

Brand: Assurance

Brush for at least 2 minutes 

My daughter is a year old and for the first 9 months of her life, I was really good about wiping her gums and teeth with a wet washcloth every day. However, since she still falls asleep every night drinking breast milk, we often don’t brush her teeth. We’ve tried in the mornings, but she is teething right now and is not a fan. We’ve tried letting her brush our teeth and making a game out of it but she still won’t let us.

Tonight, I decided it would be a good idea to try brushing her teeth while she was asleep. After all, I trim her fingernails while she is asleep. She protested a bit but let us (we don’t use toothpaste yet) and then fell back asleep. Success.

Brush your Teeth Rubber Ducky is one of the few rubber ducks that I have seen with teeth. She has a purple toothbrush and uses blue freshmint toothpaste. Her two front teeth are the only teeth showing and they resemble a beaver’s teeth. Her real name is "Pearly White Duck TM" as is printed on her bottom.

Bull’s eye 

A new Cineplex Odeon theater opened in the Windermere area last weekend. They have VIP seating for $20.00 a ticket, but you can order alcoholic drinks. I want check it out but there are no good VIP movies playing right now. I am hoping that this theater will have the Eye Popper rubber ducky machine. Have you been? Do they?

Target Ducky is your basic looking eye popper rubber ducky. He is yellow and has an orange beak. He has a blue, white and red target on his belly. He is very fun to squeeze and his eyes pop out just like the other eye popper duckies.

Floating Soap Ducky from Community Sale

Name: Floating soap Ducky
Interests: Getting sudsy
Where to Find: Community Sale
Brand: Unknown
Price: $1.00

Want me to suds you up?

I bought this rubber ducky a few weeks ago at a community sale. By the way, if you live on the south side, there is a “I’ve Outgrown it Sale” at the Ellerslie Baptist church on Saturday, May 12, 2012 from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM. I will be there ducky hunting.

I have a few rubber duckies that hold soap and float in the bathtub. Each one is unique in his or her own way. Floating soap ducky has eyes that are too close together but a huge smiling beak with a tongue sticking out. His right wing is always waving.

Drunk Lipstick Kisses Ducky from Bath and Body Works

Name: Drunk Lipstick Kisses Ducky
Interests: Smooching and being smooched.
Where to Find: Bath and Body Works at Southgate
Brand: Bath and Body Works

Which shade do you prefer?

I bought this rubber duck at Bath and Body Works a week ago. They have quite a few of these rubber ducks, so this ducky is probably still available.

Drunk Lipstick Kisses Ducky is all white except for her fuschia, red, pasty pink and peach lipstick marks all over her. Her beak is bright red. She could also pass as a badly decorated leopard print ducky.

Heart Breaker Ducky from Edmonton

Where to Find: Vending Machine at Cineplex Odeon North Edmonton
Brand: Eye Poppers by Krazy Town
Price: $2.00 Cdn

My achy breaky heart. 

Heart Breaker Ducky is the same grey colour as my cat. She has black splotches of make-up by her eyes, which makes me think that she must not be the one doing the breaking up. She has a purple bill and a pink broken heart on her chest.

GI Charcoal Ducky from Luzern

Name: GI Charcoal Ducky
Interests: Military Training
Where to Find: Luzern, Switzerland
Brand: Bud
Price: $6.90 Swiss Franks

 Give me 30 push-ups.

In case you were wondering, Switzerland is not part of the European Union. I remember arriving at the train station and trying to put Euros in a machine to get the door to the bathroom to open. Eventually someone felt sorry for me and traded me change.

I purchased GI Charcoal Ducky with Swiss Franks. He is army print shades of grey (Canadian spelling) with a few black splotches.

Raining Hearts Ducky from Bath and Body Works

Name: Raining Hearts Ducky
Interests: Jumping in puddles and frolicking in the rain
Where to Find: Bath and Body Works at Southgate
Brand: Bath and Body Works
Price: $4.50 Cdn

 It’s raining hearts.

I was at Southgate mall on Monday night helping my husband shop for jeans. We had a hard time finding denim jeans because 80s coloured jeans are back in style and the yellow, red and green jeans were monopolizing the shelf space.

I’ve been trying to find time to pop into Bath and Body Works to see if they have new ducks. So I stopped in and brought my collection number from 602 to 604. By the way, June is the semi-annual sale, so I am going to check in then to try to get a reusable ducky shopping bag.

Raining Hearts Ducky is all white but has pink, mauve and aqua hearts spotted all over her body. The brightest heart matches her bill.

Ducky or Chick you Decide

Name: Chicky Chicky Ducky
Interests: Sitting pretty
Where to Find: Community I’m too Big for it Sale
Brand: Unknown
Price: $0.50

I’m having an identity crisis

While I was at the Community I’m too Big for it Sale, I found this rubber ducky and a floating soap dish rubber ducky as well as ducky finger puppets. This ducky was part of a nail brush but the bristles were rotten so I pulled them out. I also bought the Baby Einstein food dish (pictured) at the sale.

Chicky Chicky Ducky isn’t sure if she’s a chick or a rubber ducky. Sometimes it’s hard to tell. It looks like she has a pattern on her that depicts feathers, which makes me think chick. However, her bill looks like a rubber ducks. Her eyes look like chick eyes and her purple bow makes her look Easterish. At Easter, I always see more chicks than rubber ducks. The more I think about it the more I convince myself that this is a chick. What do you think?

Pirate Ducky from Edmonton

Name: Pirate Ducky

Arrr matey.

Pirate Ducky has a red and white bandana on his head with cut-outs for his eyes. He also has a skull and crossbones on his belly. My daughter loves to walk around with his head sticking out of her mouth. She bites down on him and then his eyes pop-out. It is quite funny, but we have to watch her carefully because the pop out eyes are a major choking hazard.

Permanently Surprised Ducky

Interests: Eating caviar and learning.
Where to Find: Home Outfitters
Brand: Prestig
Price: $15.00

 

A Tuxedo Affair

I have had this large rubber ducky for a long time and I cannot remember where I bought him from. I think I bought him with my friend who also collects rubber ducks. This duck used to sit on my desk at work when I started my first Technical Writing job. He used to be yellow but faded so much in the sun that he now looks like a glow in the dark ducky. He came naked but I bought this outfit for him. He also has a raincoat and hat and a pirate outfit too (also known as Buccaneer Bill).

Permanently Surprised Bill Ducky was given this name by me because of his eyebrows and eyes which make him look permanently surprised. His head is also cocked slightly to the side and he looks like he is looking down at something. Home Outfitters isn’t around anymore but that is where Bill is from. There is also a shower curtain and a mini series of Bill ducks too.

Red is for Royalty.

My friend Gail bought me this rubber duck from Pigeon Lake last summer. Since today, is her birthday, I thought it would be a great day to feature this rubber ducky. Unfortunately, the vending machine where she bought this rubber duck from is no longer there. So, if you know where to purchase the rest of this rubber ducky collection, please let me know. I had no idea there were so many rubber ducky toy machines.

Queen of Pigeon Lake Ducky is tiny. She is all white except for her red necklace, red eyes, beak and her royal crown emblem on her tummy.

B. Ducky Speaker from Online

Name: B. Ducky Speaker
Interests: Listening to any kind of music but country.
Where to Find: www.insound.com
Brand: B. Duck
Price: $21.99

Hook me up with your ipod or ipad.

My daughter received this ducky speaker cushion as a first birthday gift. It’s half pillow and half speaker. It’s convenient to use in any room of the house. However, it stopped playing music from my ipod after a short while. I may need to see if there is a loose wire or something.

B.Ducky Speaker is soft and comfy to use as a pillow too. There is a convenient little zippered pouch to hide the cord for when you want to use it exclusively as a pillow. It’s quite cool how many different ducky decor items you can buy for every room in your house.

Ducky Chair from a Community Sale

Name: Girly Ducky Chair
Interests: Comforting your tushy
Where to Find: Community I’m too Big for it Sale
Brand: Unknown
Price: $10.00

 A ducky for your tushy.

I am taking a short hiatus from rubber duck blog posts this weekend, so that I can cover two other ducky items. Even though I collect rubber ducks, I have acquired a large number of other ducky paraphernalia.

I attended my first “I’m too big for it sale.’” These sales are also called “”I’ve outgrown it.”They are basically a garage sale of kids clothes and toys but most items are usually in fairly good shape. For example, I bought a Halloween costume for my daughter and this brand new ducky basket chair.

Girly Ducky Chair was made in China (of course, that is where most ducks are born). She has a pink bow, large eyes and little arms that are sewn on separately to the chair. In addition to this chair, I also bought all the ducky finger puppets and bath mitts on the chair.

Out grown sales are now my new favorite place to scout for rubber ducks.

I will live again.

I am not a superstitious person. I think of 13 as a lucky number especially since I often stay in room 13 while I am travelling. However, I had to find an appropriate themed ducky for Friday the 13th.

Dead Ducky is all black, has a pale, pasty, drained of life green beak, two bleak x’s mark the spot of where his eyes used to be. He has a line on the bottom of his beak for a mouth and a small red tongue hanging out of his mouth. Happy Friday the 13th everyone!

Slim the Rubber Duck from Toys R Us

Name: Slim the Ducky
Interests: Taking swimming lessons with Alicia
Where to Find: Toys R Us
Brand: Boon
Price: $6.95

I love the pool at the YMCA.

Slim spent a lot of time floating with Alicia while I took an aquasize class. Slim the Rubber Ducky is all blue and is the skinniest of the Boon rubber ducks. He has green trees and flowers painted on him and white paint splotches. He has a white paint splotch on the top of his head. Another thing about Boon ducks that makes them different is the faint line that symmetrically divides their bodies in half.

Jane the Rubber Duck from Toys R Us

Name: Jane the Ducky
Interests: Talking to parrots
Where to Find: Toys R Us
Brand: Boon
Price: $6.95

 Hellloooo, Hello

When we were in B.C. in March, we visited the World Parrot Refuge near Comox. Parrots are really intimidating - especially when they stare at you, land on you and try to bite you. I flapped my arms like bird wings to prevent them from landing on me. However, Jane was comfortable with the parrots and enjoyed chatting with them.

Jane the Rubber Ducky is taller than Squish and skinnier than Bob. She is hot pink and has a green and white argyll type of print all over her body. She has the same black beady eyes that Bob and Squish have.

Squish the Rubber Duck from Toys R Us

Name: Squish the Ducky

Where to Find: Toys R Us
Brand: Boon
Price: $6.95

Go ahead, flatten me.

Squish (this is the name he came with; I didn’t name him) is the second rubber duck that I received in the Boon line of rubber ducks. There are 4 in total and I am very excited to announce that a new line of Boon rubber ducks are coming out on May 01, 2012. My favourite Boon rubber duck, Bob, is going to be green this time around. Green just happens to be my favourite colour, so how perfect is that?

Squish looks like a regular rubber ducky who has in fact been squished with the palm of someone’s hand. He has black beady eyes, with white squiggly lines drawn around them and his entire body. He is pale yellow which is quite a bit paler than the average yellow rubber ducky colour.

Easter Bonnet Rubber Ducky from Notables

Where to Find: Notables

Brand: Unknown

Price: $1.50

 

My ears are perky and fluffy.

Easter Bonnet Rubber Ducky was given to me by my friend Jenny at my work. She gave me the great idea to write where i purchased a rubber duck on his bottom. Thatis the only reason I know that this rubber duck is from Notables. During our trip around the world, I wrote where I bought each rubber ducky and the date on the bottom of each ducky. However, this has backfired because the ink has now rubbed in and I cant read any of them.

Easter Bonnet Rubber Ducky is a regular rubber ducky with a white fluffy bunny ear bonnet tied on her head.You can even see the details of the strings too. This rubber ducky used to look quite funny sitting on my desk at work next to my 4 military rubber ducks, but now I work from home and don't have much desk space.

Every time I go to Party Packagers I find a new rubber ducky. There are so many party things in this store. It is slowly earning its way to being my new favorite ducky store.

Easter Bunny Ducky has blue and pink ears, a white belly and a fluffy white cotton tail.

The second bowl of punch I made for my daughter’s birthday was a mix of lemonade and limeade with Club Soda. I floated a rather generic looking rubber ducky in this bowl of punch.

Chubby Cheeks Rubber Ducky is weighted and has no holes in him. Therefore, he doesn’t squeak and more importantly does not retain water or punch. He has chubby cheeks, a round head and rather basic eyes.

Ducky Punch anyone? 

At my daughter’s first birthday party, I made a new punch that I just made up. It was 1 can of Minute Maid Pink Lemonade, 1 bottle of Cream Soda pop and 1 bottle of Club Soda. It was popular and delicious.

Shop Til you Drop Rubber Ducky floated in this beautiful pink bowl of punch. She is weighted, which is a popular way to make rubber ducks float upright. She has cute mascared eyelashes. She is sporting a mauve scarf with purple polka dots and is holding her blue purse and shopping bags that match her purse.

I love ducky cake

Dollar stores are great places to find rubber ducks. Most dollar stores have a baby or toy section and that is often where the rubber ducks are hiding.

Green Batty Eyes Ducky is Ernie’s rubber duck’s greener cousin. His bill is always perched upwards into a smile. He loves visiting Ernie and having baths with him. I like the wing detailing on the style of rubber duck.

I love celebrating first birthdays

My daughter is a year old today! Happy Birthday Alicia. She was born at 4:40 AM. We are having a huge birthday party for her today with over 40 guests. It is of course rubber ducky themed. I bought these rubber ducks for a steal of a deal to give out to each guest. I have 34 goodie bags and each one contains 1 of 4 different styles of birthday duck or 1 of 6 different styles of fairy tale duck.

1st Birthday Rubber Ducky has a blue party hat with orange polka dots and orange trim. She is holding a birthday cake with one candle in it for a first birthday. Her beak is painted rather poorly and I don’t think the machine or the person who painted her knew how to paint between the lines. One of my rubber ducks in this same package of 24 was even missing her eyes. I had to draw them on with a sharpie.
