Glass Pond Duckies

Name: Glass Pond Duckies
Interests: Floating with only my tail and webbed feet above water.
Where to Find: Kids Stuff and my Favourite Aunt’s
Brand: Unknown
Price: $3.00

We like to do underwater beak stands.

There are 5 Glass Pond Duckies total. The parents look like ducks and so does the ducky with the tail and webbed feet in the air (he is my favourite). However, the two baby ducks do not look like ducks at all. They look like chicks. Perhaps they were adopted.

The Glass Pond Duckies are on my shelf in my bathroom with all my other glass and Swarvski crystal ducks.

Where to Find: Varies
Brand: JellyCat, Gund
Price: Varies

Squeeze the bejesus out of us.

Between my daughter and I, we have quite a few stuffed animal duckies (some off them are probably chicks). My favourite stuffed animal as a child was my pink platypus named “Platty.” I just recently found her when I was cleaning out the basement. I love listening to my daughter say “Platty”and wander around cuddling my beloved childhood stuffed animal.

My daughter’s favourite stuffy is the JellyCat brand plush ducky on the far left of the bookshelf. She is super soft and she sleeps with her and a Curious George stuffed animal every night.

This picture doesn’t include all the tiny stuffed animal ducks that I have, but I couldn’t fit them all on the bookshelf. The long duck in the middle with the white hair sticking up holds a hot water bottle

Genetically Related Rubber Duckies

Interests: Floating around here there and everywhere.
Where to Find: Value Village, dollar store and Venus.
Brand: Unknown
Price: $1.50 each

Look into my eyes.

These four genetically related rubber duckies are all from the same family. The ducky on the far left has blue eyes and three little eyelashes. She always looks happy and she loves chatting to fish. She is from Value Village. Her cousin is next to her and always looks a bit confused. She has a blue ribbon around her neck because she hangs on our Christmas tree.

The third ducky from the left has two long eyelashes that are heavily mascaraed. My daughter got her from Venus when we were picking out my glass frames. They have the nicest frames in all of Edmonton. They also have a treasure chest of toys that they let kids pick a toy from after they have had their eyes examined.This ducky also has a red tongue.

The last ducky in the set is similar to the first except that she has a red tongue and she has black and white eyes with two eyelashes. This ducky is from the dollarstore.

It’s raining men.

Vancouver Rainy Day Ducky loves the rain. She is holding a green umbrella but she also has a tinkerbell umbrella and a rubber ducky patterned rain suit complete with coat, hat, pants and yellow rubber boots.

Her philosophy is the bigger the puddle, the better. The rain never stops her from going for walks or running by the ocean. She even swims in the ocean when it’s raining too. The ocean feels even warmer when it’s raining.

I had never seen any monster rubber duckies until this month. Michaels has a one-eyed Monster Ducky and 3 other monster rubber ducks and the Oriental Trading Company has a set of 4 monster duckies. I only bought the Red one-eyed monster but there is also a blue, green and pink monster rubber ducky in the set.

Red one-eyed monster ducky is a friendly monster and she has yellow stripes and 5 little yellow strands of hair sticking straight up off the top of her head. The one-eyed monster ducky from Michaels is her cousin.

Where to Find: Pretty Party Place in WEM
Brand: Oriental Trading Company

Rattle rattle.

Baby Bonnet Ducky is wearing a pink bonnet with white trim around the edge. I always think of bonnets as very old fashioned. I still have a few bonnets that I wore as a kid and I used them for my cabbage patches. I tried a few on my daughter when she was a baby and she looked pretty cute in them.

Baby Bonnet Ducky comes in pink and blue and would make an excellent giveaway at a baby shower. The Bonnet duckies are also holding rattles. The rest of the baby set includes a ducky with a diaper on with a blue diaper pin and the other has a pink diaper pin.

Mexican Maraca Ducky loves to sing and dance and shake his maracas. He does own two maracas and sometimes he plays them both, but he also enjoys playing just one. He is also an awesome ukulele player. He has been in a band for over 40 years.

He enjoys playing board games especially Risk Legacy. However, he hasn’t won Risk Legacy as many times as my husband. Mexican Maraca Ducky has won twice and my husband has won 5 times. If you’ve never played Risk Legacy, you should give it a try.

Some people think I’m ugly.

Grasshopper Ducky is friends with butterflies, dragonflies, bees and ladybugs. He loves flying around with his friends on warm summer days. He also enjoys doing puzzles. The largest piece puzzle that he ever completed all by himself was 1000 pieces.

Grasshopper Ducky is part of a set of 3 ducks with a ladybug ducky (which I have) and a bee rubber ducky which I don’t have. It’s odd to see the Oriental Trading company put out a set of 3 because usually they come in themed sets of 4 or 6.

Red Car Ducky

Name: Red Car Ducky
Interests: Driving any kind of car. I own go karts, bumper cars and three vipers in red, blue and black.

Vipers are the best.

Red Car Ducky loves his Viper collection. He has a pair of Prada sunglasses to match each of his Vipers. He is wearing his red raybans in his red bumper car but his blue viper is visible too. He also enjoys watching the Dakar and he wears Drakkar Noir cologne as well. He is one cool ducky.

The Pretty Party Place also had ducks in boats and airplanes too, but they didn’t have any individual duckies available. I would have had to buy a pack of 12. In 2007, in Vegas, I rented a Viper for my husband for his birthday. It was fun to drive a 5-speed but first gear was totally worn out.

Chocolate and Spotted Horse Duckies

Where to Find: Pretty Party Place in WEM
Brand: Oriental Trading Company
Price: $1.59 each

Palominos are the prettiest.

I am having a monkey’s picnic themed birthday party for my daughter for her second birthday. I looked in many dollar stores and party stores trying to find monkey party favours, napkins and plates. I should have come to the Pretty Party Place store in West Edmonton mall first. Not only do they sell rubber ducks like these horses, they also had Curious George plates and napkins, pink monkey plates and napkins and sock monkey plates and napkins too.

I found these duckies in the cowboy aisle and they sold big bags of these horse ducks in a 12 pack for $14.95. Duckies make great party favours. Chocolate Horse Ducky is all brown and has a chocolate mane. Spotted Horse Ducky is a palomino and has a beige beak and body colour with a light brown mane. Palominos are my favourite horse and I was really into horses until I discovered I was allergic to them.

Floaty Ducky Set

Name: Floaty Ducky Set
Interests: Helping out in any way we can. Being part of your decor.
Where to Find: Allure
Price: $14.99 Cdn for the candle holder on the right

We remain upright no matter which way you spin and tip us.

I used to have the complete foaty ducky set which consisted of a garbage can, cup, toothbrush holder, nail brush and the 3 items that you see in the picture. However, as the floaty ducks age, they crack and the oily blue substance leaks out and then they eventually have to be thrown out. I kept the weighted ducks inside though.

The candle holder on the left is a lamp style and holds a tealight. The candle holder on the right has a gel candle in it. The middle Floaty Ducky is a soap holder but it makes an excellent earring tray.

Blown Glass Ducky and another glass Ducky

Name: Blown Glass Ducky and another Glass Ducky
Interests: Reflecting light like a prism.
Where to Find: Venice
Brand: Unknown
Price: $2.00 Cdn

We sink.

During the around the world trip that I went on in 2009, I bought the glass ducky on the left in Venice. He looks like a real duck instead of a rubber duck but because he was so tiny and weighed nothing I was able to justify adding him to the collection. He looks a lot better quality than the ducky on the right (that I think is just a regular glass (not blown) ducky. I don’t remember where I bought him from.

If you’re a fellow rubber ducky collector, do you buy other ducky items or stick to rubber ducks only?

Lavender is the yellow ducky and she was given this name even though she is not purple. Her best friend is the green wooden ducky Lily. They have gone on many camping trips together and love to sleep under the stars. They know and can easily spot all the constellations. They use their ipads and the stargazing app Star Walk to help them find all the dippers and Gods.

Just the dot on my beak lights up, not my entire beak.

I know Christmas was a while ago, but I just found this ducky in the basement and I am going to add him to my Christmas ducky box. The bottom of this ducky says that his name is “Dash on Duck” but he is not Dasher. He is clearly Rudolph Reindeer Ducky because there is a red lit on his beak that lights up. He has a holly tattoo to the left of his antler. He is wearing a red scarf and a candy cane necklace.

Rudolph Ducky loves the Philippines. This is why he is riding a Jeepney in the picture.

Brand: Oriental Trading Company
Price: $2.00 Cdn each

Why does Batman Ducky get all the attention?

Flash Ducky is in the bottom left of the picture. He is a bit jealous of Batman Ducky because Batman seems to get all the attention. However, Flash Ducky feels that his super ducky outfit is better than Batman’s because he has a ducky on his belly and on his mask too. He’s also faster than Batman but everyone likes Batman better.

Batman Ducky is on the bottom right of the picture. He doesn’t understand why the other superhero duckies have so many issues with him. He just tries to be a nice person and do his job. If anyone should be jealous, it’s Batman Ducky. I mean after all he is more like a regular ducky than the other Superhero duckies who have way cooler super powers than he does. He is just an intelligent ducky.

Wonder Woman Ducky in the top left has 3 duckies on her outfit and she has a beautiful white silk cape/scarf billowing in the breeze on her back. She has far less cleavage than her human form.

Magneto Ducky is in the top right of the picture. All the magnetic duckies fear him. He only has one ducky on his uniform but you can’t miss the letter M on the front of his helmet. He is rather evil.

Yellow Glass Duckies

Name: Yellow Glass Duckies
Interests: Watching James Bond movies.
Where to Find: Chicken Scratch
Brand: Unknown
Price: $3.00 Cdn

We're Bond girls.

I had a friend in high school who wanted to get into glass blowing. The Yellow Glass Duckies are made of blown glass. When we were in Venice, we saw lots of blown glass to purchase but didn’t get to see anyone in the process of making anything. I watched a TV show on it once and I think it would be neat to watch someone make something.

The Yellow Glass Duckies are really into James Bond. They own all the movies, books and various other paraphernalia.

Go Grease Lightning.

I was an extra in the ducky movie of Grease. I own 4 poodle skirts in blue, white, black and red. For Halloween, I usually dress up as someone from the 1950s. I was also an extra in Save the Last Dance. I am still hoping to get a lead role one day soon. I am going to continue to keep my wings crossed that a lead role will pop up one day. I teach dance in my spare time so I can pay my bills.

Cheerleader Munchkin Ducky

Name: Cheerleader Munchkin Ducky
Interests: Buying a pin from every country I have travelled to.
Where to Find: Walmart
Brand: Munchkin
Price: $3.95 Cdn

Go team Munchkin!

The Munchkin ducks are designed as bath water temperature checkers. On the bottom of the duck is the word HOT in navy letters and if these letters turn white then you know the bath water is too hot. I tried out this duck once when I had the water fairly hot and the letters turned white really fast. However, it’s not that useful because I prefer to use our temperature ducky that tells me the exact temperature of the water.

Cheerleader Munchkin Ducky has her hair in a cute little ponytail and it is tied with a red ribbon. She is wearing a blue sweater with an M on it and a red skirt. She loves to travel and collects pins from her travels.

Hibiscus Surfer Ducky

Interests: Learning to be as good of a surfer as my mom.
Where to Find: Walmart
Brand: Munchkin
Price: $3.95 Cdn

I follow in my mom’s footsteps.

Surf’s up Faucet Cover Ducky is my mom. We love to surf together and we make a great team in your bathroom. My mom covers the faucet so children don’t burn their hands on the hot faucet. The word HOT turns white on my bottom if the bath water is too warm. Therefore, I prevent kids from burning their skin too.

My name is Hibiscus Surfer Ducky because I have hibiscus flowers on my swimsuit top.

Miniature Teapot Ducky from Red Rose Tea

Name: Miniature Teapot Ducky

Where to Find: Red Rose tea packages years ago.
Brand: Red Rose
Price: Free in a box of tea

Will someone please dust me?

I always think of Saturdays as a good bargain shopping day. I used to spend my Saturdays working in a secondhand store. Shopping for treasures, antiques, collectibles or even that perfect dress is always a fun Saturday task. I thought that Miniature tea pot ducky might be an antique or worth quite a bit of money but he is from 1998 and is worth about $5-6.00 (I am not looking to sell. I was just curious.)

An excerpt from Miniature Teapot Ducky. “I sit on a nice sunny glass shelf beside the toilet. I am constantly covered in dust off the toilet paper and Kleenex. If you look closely at the picture you can see the dust all over my body. It is not pretty to sit beside a toilet. Thankfully the fan is directly above my head but not all patrons used the fan (they have no respect).”

Puzzle Ducky

Are you puzzled?

Puzzle Ducky is as famous as Mona Lisa Ducky. He has a 24 piece puzzle showing him and his son on the pond. He is friends with Ripper Ribbit (the frog shown in the puzzle). He met his wife at the pond but unfortunately she passed away when their son was very young. When he plays hide and go seek with his son, his favourite hiding spot is under Lily pads. His son likes to hide among the bullrushes and then he jumps out and scares his Dad.

Salt water is great for the hair.

Seriously, you would be amazed by how great salt water can make your hair look. I get get long lasting curls and up-dos without using any hair spray. When I’m laying in the sun, the salt can also make my hair look shimmery but if you aren’t careful the salt beads can also look like dandruff.

I have a strand of freshwater pearls around my neck, a starfish in my hair and seashells for my shirt. My house is made out of coral and seashells. I even have a seashell night light. It’s great to be a merduck.

Waddling, swimming targets.

My daughter received these ducks from her cousins as a gift. They came with a mesh back to keep them organized when they are not in the tub. This bag also helps them dry faster. Each of the Learn to Count Duckies has a number on its bottom and then the matching number of dots on his or her back from 1-10. In addition to these ducks being a great learning tool, each ducky can also squirt water out of his or her beak.

Sponge Ducky and tub Crayons

Interests: Watching romantic comedies and reading romance novels.
Where to Find: Amazon
Brand: ALEX
Price: $7.99 Cdn

I absorb a lot.

My daughter received Sponge Ducky and tub Crayons in her stocking. They are great but sometimes they take a bit of effort to rub off her skin, which makes me wonder what is in them. I thought they were just soap. The white side of the ducky sponge works well for washing the crayon off the tub. I like that the crayons came with a rubber ducky sponge (that was the selling point), but it would have been neat if they came with a rubber ducky too.

Want a lesson?

Green is my favourite colour (hence the matching board and Billabong swimsuit). I have been surfing since I was 3 and could sit on the back of my mom’s surfboard. I teach lessons year round in Tofino and I never wear a wetsuit. I have grown accustomed to the temperature of the water. If you’re a tourist, you will need a wetsuit.

Football Fanatic Ducky

Go Edmonton Eskimos!

My aunt just informed me yesterday that Michaels has a cupid ducky and a Valentine’s devil ducky. I am scheduling a trip to Michaels this week. Get your duckies while they last. Football Fanatic Ducky is also from Michaels, but he is not the Michaels brand of ducky and looks like most generic ducks.

Football Fanatic Ducky is so into football that he asked a witch to turn him into a football. He has the grip of a football all over his body except for his wings and his beak. So, feel free to toss him around just as you would a football. A baseball ducky and a basketball ducky are also available at Michaels, but I already own quite a few basketball and baseball duckies so I didn’t purchase these two.

I make the best crumpets.

One-eyed Monster Ducky is my best friend and he is right, I do make the best crumpets. The second best thing that I can bake is my key lime cake. Key lime cake goes great with key lime or coconut tea. One-eyed Monster Ducky is also great at having tea parties, but I have the fancy silver tea set. I also make the best tiny sandwiches that are served at high tea. I can even cut them into rubber ducky shapes.

I am 20% rubber ducky and 80% monster. My father was a green monster and my mother was a rubber duck. Therefore, instead of having ducky wings, I have arms with claws on the end. I can also use my claw-winged arms to fly.

Before you even ask, yes, I can see perfectly fine out of one eye. It’s really no different than you seeing out both of your eyes. I am a soft fuzzy, loving monster. My favourite word is “Ooogley.” Sometimes when I say it, I scare other rubber ducks. However, I don’t mean to. I am really quite friendly. Claw-Winged Monster Ducky is my best friend and we love to have tea parties together. He likes to serve high tea and he makes the best crumpets.

Oh Joy!

I went back to Michaels again and I managed to find one more Christmas ducky. I even checked a store on the West end hoping to find more Christmas ducks, but they didn’t have any left. However, I did manage to find sports ducks and monster ducks that you’ll get to see this week.

Joy Pom Pom Toque Ducky is all pink and has the word “JOY!” written across each wing. She is wearing a green toque with blue pom poms. The Michaels ducks have really pointy orange beaks. I did a Google images search and saw a blue “Peace” Michaels ducky that looked similar to Joy Pom Pom Toque Ducky and there was also a reindeer ducky too.

My daughter received Penguin Present Ducky as a Christmas gift on boxing day. She received it a few hours after I bought her Pom Pom Toque ducky. These two Christmas duckies are a great addition to our tree. I just wish I had found them before Christmas so I could have bought the entire set. I am going to check the other Michaels in Edmonton to see if I can find any other ducks in the set.

Penguin Present Ducky is holding a purple gift that she wrapped herself and is wearing a red toque with holly on it.

Happy New Year everyone! I have a feeling 2013 is going to be a great year. After all, 13 is my lucky number. Although, since my family is from England, you would think that I would be superstitious.

Disco Ducky is feeling a bit hung over today but she still has is still a lustrous silver. She loves disco music but may have had a bit too much champagne last night. However, she is expected to make a full recovery.
