Name: Concierge - the Keys Rubba Ducky
Interests: People watching. After all it is my job.
Where to Find: Toy Kingdom in Podium mall
Brand: Rubba Duck
Price: $1.50 Cdn

I’ll get the door for you. 

My husband and I spent Christmas and New Year’s in the Philippines in 2009. I saw the most fireworks I have ever seen in my life and was horrified by how many people are injured by fireworks every year. We sponsored a Clique of Light charity supper and games day for inner city children. It was my best volunteer experience to date.

I also purchased the least expensive Rubba Ducky I own for 60 pesos.Concierge Rubba Ducky is decked out in quite a nice brown uniform. He has a pair of keys on his bum and his hat says Grand Elysee Hamburg (but it should have been in a font that would stand out better). This duck works at a real hotel in Denmark.

Poem on his tag:

You’re the one
doing what U DO
to get things done.

Always have the time -
finding a way around:
whatever it takes
U can be found.

Baby Blue Ducky from Bath and Body Works

Name: Baby Blue Ducky
Interests: Reading Jane Austen Novels
Where to Find: Bath and Body Works
Brand: Bath and Body Works
Price: $3.00 Cdn (purchased a long time ago)

Pride and Prejudice is my favourite book

Baby Blue Ducky is one of the first rubber ducks that I purchased from Bath and Body Works (before we had the store in Canada). They should really put dates on the bottom of these ducks so that I can remember what year I purchased some of them.

She is baby blue all over and is matte. Most of the Bath and Body Works rubber ducks have a sheen to them now. She has black and white eyes that look like stickers (complete with eyelashes) and an orange beak. She also has a pale pink twin sister, but I don’t have her.  In case you are curious, the ducky wall decals in the background are from Etsy.

Sword Pirate Ducky from Tokyo

Name: Sword Pirate Ducky
Interests: Battling by the blade for treasure.
Where to Find: www.rubberduck-toys.com
Brand: Unknown
Price: $4.20 Cdn

I have a treasure map.

One of my greatest memories of being in Japan was going to a local restaurant for supper and pointing to everything that we wanted because no one spoke English and there was no menu. We spoke a little bit of Japanese and managed to get by.

Sword Pirate Ducky is yellow and chubby looking. He is wearing a green bandana and is holding a curved sword. His eyes are blue and black but look a little funny. He may be cross-eyed or he may just have starring issues.

Name: Duck Spa Ducky
Interests: Getting facials and hot stone massages.
Where to Find: No longer available.
Brand: Rubba Duck
Price: $9.99

I live for the spa.

Duck Spa Ducky may just be having a spa day at her home. I have never received a facial at a spa where they put cucumber slices over your eyes. Have you? Duck Spa is wearing the classic white towel in her hair and a white robe. She has cucumber slices for eyes and a rejuvenating blue face mask on her face. She hatched on Aug 13 and according to her box she is part of the same wave (collectible sets were released as waves) as Duck Slope and Duckee Hill. She has a pair of white fluffy slippers on her bum.


Poem on her tag:

“Ïf the slipper fits-
pamper away.
It’s now all about me.

Pure and simple -
begin with a facial:
paint me in. Monet.

Fresh, renewed -
the day just for U -
a spoïlng long overdue.”

Name: Ducky with Hair
Interests: Brushing and conditioning my hair.
Where to Find: Chicken Scratch on Whyte Ave
Brand: Copyright 2000 4M
Price: $1.95

Jealous of my curl?

Ducky with Hair is your basic ¾ of an inch tall rubber ducky from Chicken Scratch. He looks average with a yellow body, blue eyes and an orange beak. However, he is not average. A single curl protrudes from the top of his head and looks like a bird’s nest. If this curl was straightened, his hair would be longer than he is tall.

Rubber Ducky Bath mat from JYSK

Name: Rubber Ducky Bath mat
Interests: I can drink a lot on a Saturday night because I’m super absorbent.
Where to Find: JYSK on Calgary Trail
Brand: JYSK
Price: $9.99

Step on me.

Alicia and I each received one of these Rubber Ducky bath mats for Christmas last year. She has hers by her crib in her room and I have mine by the bath tub. Rubber Ducky bath mat has a rubber backing so it stays put on your floor. There are 5 duckies on the bath mat. I like the green duck best. Every duck has a flower in her hair except for the blue and green striped duck. There is also a plain yellow ducky, a bright pink duck and a lighter pink duck that has flowers all over her body.

Football Mama Ducky and her Ball Children from Manila

Name: Football Mama Ducky and her Ball Children
Interests: Playing various sports with my children. Throwing my children (they are balls).
Where to Find: Baby store in a mall in Manila (sorry I don’t remember the details).
Brand: WX
Price: $2.27 Cdn

Go long.

My husband and I were in the Philippines in 2009 and we stayed with local families. It was the first time we experienced the closeness of an entire family sleeping in one bedroom. We also bathed with a cold water tap and a bucket. I found it quite refreshing in the heat. However, my husband is not a huge fan of cold water, so he didn’t adapt as fast as me.

While we shopping in the mall one day, I found the neatest Momma ducky set that I have seen. All 4 ducks have little squeakers in them and squeak loudly. My daughter has fun making them squeak. Momma Ducky is a brown football. Her eldest daughter is a green tennis ball. Although, now that I look at her again, I am not so sure it is a tennis ball. This ducky is all green which made me think tennis but she has tiny blue pentagons all over her body. Anyone know what type of sport this ball is from? Her middle daughter is an orange basketball rubber ducky and the youngest, her son, is the smallest ball of all, a baseball. He is white with red stitching. All 4 duckies have eyelashes and surprised looking eyes.

Duckshear- a Cut Above Rubba Ducky from Online

Name: Duckshear- a Cut Above Rubba Ducky

Interests: Adding layers to people’s hair. I also enjoy the occasional glass of wine.
Where to Find: I am not sure. The Rubba Duck website is no longer working so I am not sure they make them anymore. Does anyone else know?
Brand: Rubba Duck
Price: $9.95 Cdn

 

Short or long? 

I ordered Duckshear Ducky off the Rubba Duck website many year ago. I ordered about 12 ducks at once so it was pricey. However, what made it even pricier was the fact that I had to pay $40.00 in customs on top of the shipping because I ordered them from the US.

Duckshear Ducky is very chic. She has purple eyes (contacts) that match her apron, but only her left eye is visible. She is too cool to brush her side bangs away from her right eye. She is wearing an orange, pink, red and white striped shirt. A silver ring is on her left hand and she has many hair clips on her apron. She hatched on May 25 and has a pair of scissors embossed on her bum.

Poem from her tag:

“Cut, cut Snip, snp,
Love make’n U
look so good.

Add a little color?
Let’s foil & tint!

A highlight here,
a lowlight there...
now look who has
the most beautiful hair.”

Trail rides are for sissies.

Horsey Ducky looks like Pegasus. She is all white and has a brown mane, tail and ears. She is wearing a blue harness with yellow flowers and red trim. She is fit for kings and queens to ride her but prefers knights.

I have never been big on the rubber duck animals (there are dog, cat and monkey sets) but I don’t mind the horse.

Interests: Doing Sudoku puzzles. I am the best at them.
Where to Find: www.opal-london.com

Seven is my favourite number.

Sue Ducku ducky is very cool. She comes with her own pencil that is elasticized to her neck with an orange collar. Her box says “she’s got your number..” and “she’s a real brain teaser..” She is all yellow but has thick black grid lines all over her body for the sudoku grid. She has the numbers 1, 5, 2 and 7 filled in.

This is the last Opal London duck that I have but I am going to order more very soon.

She is wearing a dark pink hooded cloak and a light pink dress. She is holding a pink wand with a yellow star on the end. Hooded Fairy Ducky is one of 6 ducks in the Fairy Tale line.

Price: $2.00

Tweet Tweet 

My brother, his wife and 4 kids are in town for the long weekend. My daughter is enjoying playing with her cousins and tomorrow we are going to the zoo together. They were grocery shopping in the US and found a vending machine that carries this line of tiny rubber duckies.

They bought me Twitter ducky. I know there is also a Facebook ducky. I want them all. Has anyone seen these duckies in Edmonton?

Twitter ducky is all white except for his blue eyes and beak. The t" for Twitter on his belly is a different blue of course because it’s the Twitter blue. I wonder if Twitter ducky and Facebook ducky are friends or rivals.

Pink Glow in the Dark Ducky from Chicken Scratch

Name: Pink Glow in the Dark Ducky
Interests: I feel pretty in pink.
Where to Find: Chicken Scratch
Brand: Copyright 2000 4M
Price: $1.95

I am afraid of the dark.

Pink Glow in the Dark Ducky is about ¾ of an inch tall. She has blue dotted eyes and the rest of her is all pink. Her beak is the same shade of pink as the rest of her body so it all just blends in together. Her wings have little squiggly feathers drawn on them. She looks like she is smiling and is a sweet little ducky to have in any collection.

Badass Biker Bill Ducky from Opal London

Name: Badass Biker Bill
Interests: Riding any kind of bike except Harley’s. They are not badass enough,
Where to Find: www.opal-london.com
Brand: Opal London Quackers ™ Bathing Ducks
Price: $ 12.90 Cdn

My license plate is DUC 22.

Badass Biker Bill is so badass that even pipes won’t melt his arse. His box says “the migrating motor head...hell’s favourite (I love British spelling) angel...!”

Badass Biker Bill is orange and black which are the Harley Davidson colours. The coolest thing about Opal London ducks besides their names are their accessories. Badass Biker Bill has a handkerchief neck scar that velcros on and off from around his neck. It is all black with little white Xs. He has a shiny chrome beak and sympathetic looking eyebrows. His wings are tattooed with a fire symbol and he is wearing a grey leather jacket. It is too bad he doesn’t come with a helmet.

Sombrero Ducky from Tokyo

Name: Sombrero Ducky

Interests: Eating sushi and tacos in the same meal.
Where to Find: www.rubberduck-toys.com
Brand: Unknown
Price: $ 2.10 Cdn

 

Got sashimi?

During our 2009 around the world trip, we spent two weeks in Tokyo. We stayed near the University and there were a few neat stores in the area. One of the stores was a comic book type store and sold figurines. I always think that these types of stores will sell rubber ducks and I am almost always disappointed. However, this time I wasn’t. The banner on the outside of the store had a rubber ducky on it.

Sombrero Ducky is quite the odd find for Tokyo. I was hoping to find a sushi ducky. I have never seen one but that would be a cool design. Instead, I found a Mexican ducky. Sombrero Ducky is wearing a red sombrero with blue trim and yellow stripes. Other than that he is a basic looking mini rubber ducky.

Brand: Swarovski
Price: $40.00 Cdn

If you’re happy and you know it flap your wings.

I think it’s very cool that my 30th birthday had a ducky theme for gifts, but even cooler that I received a Swarovski surfer ducky from my parents and a Happy Duck - Sweet Alicia from my brother his wife and my nieces and nephews.

It’s very cool that this ducky shares my daughter’s name. This is why they decided that they just had to get it for me. I now have 4 Swarovski crystal duckies. Two of them have colour and two of them are clear. I will post about the two clear crystal duckies in the future.

Happy Duck - Sweet Alicia looks dark pink to red in low lighting and looks purple in bright lighting. She is really a purplish pinkish colour. She has the same beady eyes as the surfer ducky. They look like little metal half circles. This ducky is very cool and I will have to find the perfect spot on my shelf to display all the crystal duckies.

My cat loves to bat this rubber ducky around. Anytime I can’t find it, I go check the cat toy pile. My cat will actually place this ducky in his mouth and then throw it straight up into the air.

Blue Glow in the Dark Ducky is about ¾ of an inch tall. He has blue dotted eyes and a light blue beak that stands out against his pastel blue body. His wings have little squiggly feathers drawn on them.

Ducky Charms from Party Packagers

Name: Ducky Charms
Interests: Charming people of course
Where to Find: Party Packagers
Brand: Wilton
Price: $2.80 Cdn for 20

I can add elegance to any party. 

I used ribbon to tie these Ducky Charms on each ducky goody bag at Alicia’s first birthday. They would make a great necklace for older kids (they are choking size for younger kids). They are plastic and I found them at Party Packagers in South Common. Every time I go in that store, I find a new ducky item.

Ducky Charms are tiny and have a little loop on the top of each ducky’s head. The ducky design is on each side of the charm. The ducks have little eyes, beaks and faces drawn on.

Happy Mother’s Day. Squeak Quack

Happy Mother’s Day to all the mom’s today. I hope you have a great day with your families. My daughter and husband made me pancakes for breakfast. We are going to see my mom and my Grandma later for Chinese food for supper. It’s going to be 26 C today in Edmonton so I am going to go for a run with my daughter too.

Mama Ducky and her three babies are quite generic looking. They are basic yellow with black and white eyes, an orange beak and a red tongue sticking out too. The Mama Ducky has a hole in her bottom, so she squeaks and the baby duckies have holes in their mouths for squirting water, but they don’t squeak.

Cafe Canard from Celebriducks Online

Name: Cafe Canard
Interests: Consuming large quantities of coffee and croissants.
Where to Find: http://shop.celebriducks.com/
Brand: Celebriducks
Price: $ 11.99 US

The more caffeine the better.

Cafe Canard is pretty much Coco Canard’s twin. They are extremely similar except the coffee one is darker of course. They both are wearing the French hat. I would love to see a Baguette Canard or Cheese Canard. Perhaps even pasta Canard would be cool. It would have also been cool if Cabernet, Cafe and Coco Canard smelled like their respective names. I had the Strawberry shortcake’s friend lime and she smelled like lime. Oh the 80s toys.

Cafe Canard is holding a mug with a ducky on it and bag of whole roasted coffee beans in the other. I am not a coffee connoisseur but my husband loves grinding beans fresh every morning. The piece of duck chocolate this duck is holding is not part of the duck, but is also from Celebriducks.

Ducky a la Orange from Opal London

Yum Yum I was born to saute.

Duck a la Orange has fun cooking in my daughter’s play kitchen. The tiny pink kitchen is the perfect size for him. He can whip up anything from Carbonara to souffle.

Duck a la Orange is wearing a blue checkered tablecloth scarf and has eight slices of orange on his left side. His eyebrows show just how serious of a chef he is.

Yellow Glow in the Dark Ducky from Chicken Scratch

Interests: Playing with fire flies on warm summer evenings.
Where to Find: Chicken Scratch
Brand: Copyright 2000 4M
Price: $1.95

I can help you see to use the bathroom in the night.

This little ducky was the first glow in the dark ducky that I bought. He has two friends that glow in the dark with him. One is pink and one is blue. Ever since I moved out with my boyfriend (now husband), these ducks have always been in my bathroom on a shelf above the toilet. They are great for lighting the path to the toilet at night. They were in our condo for two years and have been in our house for five.

This little ducky is so popular that my parents have his twin in their bathroom. I decided that their bathroom could use a ducky. In the summer, he migrates from the bathroom to their backyard pond.

Yellow Glow in the Dark Ducky is about ¾ of an inch tall. He has blue dotted eyes and an orange beak. His wings have little squiggly feathers drawn on them.

Cabernet Canard from Celebriducks Online

Name: Cabernet Canard
Interests: Consuming large quantities of the best red wine during feasts.
Where to Find: http://shop.celebriducks.com/
Brand: Celebriducks
Price: $ 11.99 US

The more Cabernet the better.

Cabernet Canard is a Limited Edition Celebriduck. She looks like a Greek Godess with her white toga complete with a headpiece made of grapes. She is holding a golden wine goblet in one hand and is grasping a bunch of grapes in the other. Her eyes are a bit creepy looking and are too close together. They make her look rather medieval. The unique thing about Celebriducks is that each one is so different, you would never guess they are the same brand.

Tarty Anne Ducky from Opal London

Name: Tarty Anne Ducky
Interests: Online dating and attending speed dating luncheons.
Where to Find: http://www.opal-london.com/
Brand: Opal London Quackers ™ Bathing Ducks
Price: $ 12.90 Cdn

Adore my beauty mark?

My husband managed to find an entire line of rubber ducks that I don’t own but also that I have never heard of before. Opal London ducks are very British. There is even a James Pond rubber duck. I received money for my birthday and I think James Pond is going to be added to my collection this summer.

Tarty Anne’s box says “the Scottish siren...dressed for the dating game...” She is all red and is looking for love. She has eyelashes at the sides and the top of her eyes. I have never seen this on a rubber ducky before. Her beak is pink and she has an orange tuft of hair. A beauty mark graces her right cheek (aka a mole). She is very Scottish with her red plaid scarf and the red plaid elastic bracelet for her owner.

Coco Canard from Celebriducks Online

Interests: Consuming large quantities of chocolate.
Where to Find: http://shop.celebriducks.com/
Brand: Celebriducks
Price: $ 19.99 US (came with a 12 pack of Belgian dark chocolate too)

The more chocolate the better.

If I eat anymore chocolate, I will look as dark as this duck. My husband and my friends organized a surprise 30th birthday party for me on the weekend! It was an awesome party and had a travel rubber ducky theme. One of the games was to guess where I purchased all the rubber ducks that I’ve blogged about. My husband even had a luggage cake made for me.

As part of my gift, my husband bought me 7 new rubber ducks. Three of them were the new food related Celebriducks that have been on my wish list for a while. I received the “Canard Gram,” which is a brilliant idea. It includes a duck of your choice, 12 Belgian chocolates and a personalized card.

CoCo Canard is truly French. He has a French hat, a kiss on his left cheek and a scarf that says “100% Belgian Chocolate.” He is of course eating a large dark chocolate bar that is CoCo Canard brand as well. Surprisingly, even after all the dark chocolate, he is quite slender. He much truly be French.

I have the best shades.

I have two clear Swarovski crystal duck ornaments that my husband bought me years ago when were were first dating. For my 30th birthday, my parents bought me a coloured Swarovski crystal ducky. He is huge. I did a search for crystal ducks and there are tons.

Swarovski Crystal Surfer Ducky is wearing a shark’s tooth necklace, has tiny sunglasses that slip off his head (but his silver beady metal eyes help to keep them on). Instead of coming with a traditional glass plate to display the duck, he has a surfboard that says: “Be faster than the shark.

Aloha Love Duckalulu Rubba Duck

Name: Duckalulu Rubba Ducky

Interests: Hula dancing and making flower leis
Where to Find: Check the website for retailers near you.
Brand: www.rubbaducks.com
Price: $9.95 Cdn

 

Can you shake your hips like me?

Duckalulu Rubba Ducky is a very cool Rubba Duck because she is from Hawaii. I have always wanted to go to Hawaii and it is still on my travel wish list. I haven’t bought any rubba ducks for a while because I haven’t been able to find any stores in Canada that sell them.

Duckalulu Rubba Ducky is tanned, has beautiful long straight black hair (many Rubba ducks have hair), brown eyes, and a tanned beak. She has a palm tree with three coconuts on her rear. She is wearing a leis necklace and a grass skirt. The only thing missing is the coconut shell bra. My parents’ neighbours bought me one when they were in Hawaii one year. I also go a Hawaii Barbie and grass skirt. So cool. Duckalulu was hatched on February 21st.

Poem from her tag ( I don't think any more exclamation marks could have been added):

Hula!!!
Our beautiful native of Honolulu named
Sweeter Than Pure Cane Sugar
for the 3rd year in a row.
Woo, woo, Duckalulu!!
Hoonanea!!!

On the beauteous island of Hawaii...

Ladybug in Soap Rubber Ducky

Name: Ladybug Ducky
Interests: Crawling on flowers and on your hand but I might excrete a yellow liquid on you to protect myself from enemies.
Where to Find: Edmonton Farmers’ Market
Brand: Soap Cakes etc by Pam inc.
Price: $3.00 Cdn

What a lady

Alicia received this Ladybug rubber ducky for her birthday. I think it’s from the Farmers’ Market in Old Strathcona. I have a few rubber duckies in soap, so this won’t be the first rubber ducky in soap that you see from my collection.

Ladybug Ducky has a red body with 4 black spots on each wing. She has a black head with white eyes and a black beak and black antennas. Interesting fact: there are male ladybugs but they are still called ladybugs.

SARs Ducky Mask from Thailand

Name: SARs Ducky Mask
Interests: Protecting people.
Where to Find: Bangkok, Thailand
Brand: Spectrum
Price: $1.00 Cdn ($0.35 Baht)

Even the plain masks look a little silly.

Today is my birthday and it’s a big one. I am 30! The bad news is that I think that is old; the good news is that even numbers are nice. I am celebrating by going for lunch with my friend who shares the same birthday as me (except she is 12 hours older) and I have known her since Elementary School. If you notice the time of this post, you will see what time I was born.

I figured the post of me in a ducky SARs mask in Bangkok, Thailand would be appropriate. I know it’s not a rubber ducky but I figured I may as well embarass myself a little on my birthday. No, we didn’t actually wear SARs masks during our trip around the world in 2009. However, we could have used them in Mongolia so we weren’t breathing in so much pollution.

I almost used this mask as part of my daughter’s ducky Halloween costume. I am sure that I eventually will use it for a costume one day. SARS ducky mask is soft and well put together. The beak even puckers just so.

Mini Devil Duckies from Bang On

Name: Mini Devil Duckies
Interests: Travelling like the Gnome from Travelocity
Where to Find: Bang-on on Whyte Ave
Brand: ACC
Price: $7.99 for 6

Ohhh Parie..Je taime

While Colin and I travelled around the world in 2009, we carried two mini devil rubber duckies with us who starred in the same role as Travelocity’s travel gnome. We brought the green and purple mini devil duckies.

I have the complete set of Mini Devil Duckies in my Zen Garden in my office. The following 6 colours come in a set: orange, red, yellow, green, blue and purple. They make perfect pencil toppers too. These are the tiniest rubber ducks that I own.

Blues Brothers Celebriduck from Colourblind

Name: Jake Celebriduck Rubber Ducky
Interests: Singing the blues of course
Where to Find: Colourblind
Brand: http://www.celebriducks.com/shop/celebrityducks.htm
Price: $14.49 Cdn

No one can rock a Pandora style hat like I can.

I can’t remember who bought me this rubber duck. I know I didn’t buy it for my collection because I am not the biggest fan of the celbriducks. However, Jake is rather sleek, sexy and cool looking in a hipster sort of way. His microphone looks like a disco ball and he is dressed in a suit and shades. The hat, the hair and the eyebrows make him actually look like the Jake (the real person). I am not a huge fan of Blues music but it is way better than country. I can’t stand country music.
