Gold and Silver Duckies for Baby Beck 3

Name: Gold and Silver Duckies for Baby Beck 3
Interests: Being a midwife (sliver duck) and a doula (gold duck)
Where to Find: When Pigs Fly in Edmonton
Brand: Upper Canada Soap
Price: $9.99 Cdn each

Quote on the box: “Not the rubber duck you thought you knew.”

We are expecting Baby Beck 3 in May this year. I was hoping there would be a new Boon ducky for our third baby, but I don’t think there will be. Bob attended Alicia’s birth and Bob 2.0 attended John’s birth. Therefore, I decided these duckies would be special enough and shiny enough for our third baby’s birth.

My aunt bought me these duckies. They look a bit like Ernie’s ducky.

Other information on the box: “These Couture Rubber Ducks bring high fashion and fun to a bath while showing how stylish you are! For decorative use only. For adult use only.” I find it really funny that these ducks are for adult use only. I mean they don’t have any small parts and rubber ducks are usually toys and are meant to be played with. I am guessing they must not be Phthalate free then.

Finland Ducky

Name: Finland Ducky
Interests: Touring historic sites.
Where to Find: Finland
Brand: Waynor
Price: 7 Euro

Speak Finnish with me.

When we returned from vacation this month, I was ecstatic to open a present in the mail from our friend in Finland. She sent me Finland Ducky. Finland Ducky’s favourite place to tour is the rock church . He is white and blue and is a nice classic looking rubber duck. I think every country should have an official rubber ducky. It is the best souvenir to collect while travelling.

Resort Living Duckies

Name: Resort Living football, pirate and fire person ducky
Interests: Doing aquasize in the pool.
Where to Find: Walmart
Brand: Funny Toys
Price: 48 pesos ($3.85 Cdn)

We love living in the Riu Palace. 

On the bottom of the ducks it says "Funny Toys Mexico." I am thinking that this means the ducks weren't made in China which is pretty rare for a rubber duck. They aren't the best quality because they are quite cracked on the bottom.

Pirate ducky has a big silver hoop in his right ear, a sword under his right wing and an eye patch on his left eye. Football ducky is wearing a silver helmet and has a football tucked under her right wing. The fire person ducky has a hose under her right wing and an axe under her left wing.

These duckies enjoy their ritzy lifestyle. They are served drinks poolside and beachside 24 hours a day. Every time they enter the dining hall they receive a standing ovation and royalty treatment. This is what life at the palace is all about.

Quakers Ducky

Name: Quackers Ducky
Interests: Driving people quackers and whale watching.
Where to Find: Toy store in Puerto paraiso mall in Cabo
Brand: Schylling
Price: 99 pesos ($7.00 Cdn)


Is there a duck in the room?

When I bought Quackers I thought he was a whistle. When you blow into him he loudly make a noise that is a cross between a duck and a kazoo. You can imagine just how loud it is in a small echoing hotel room in an all inclusive resort.

Quackers works part time taking tourists whale watching. He sounds his quacker every time a whale is spotted.
