Fracture Glow in the Dark Ducky

Name: Fracture Glow in the Dark Ducky
Interests: Ghosts
Where to Find: Zydeco Gifts
Brand: Oriental trading Company
Price: $2.00 Cdn

Fracture Glow in the Dark Ducky debated being a ghost for Halloween. He wanted to make his fractures light up with LED lights like all the stick man (https://glowyzoey.com/) costumes, but he ran out of time.

My kids are dressing up as Harley Quinn, a Knight, and a Cabbage Patch Kid (my husband is dressing up to matchi). I’ll be wearing a pink sleeper with a rubber ducky on it complete with ducky earrings and rubber duckies elasticized to my pigtails.

Not a hairline fracture

Wicked Witch of the Rest Ducky

Name: Wicked Witch of the Rest
Interests: Flying, cackling, and playing quidditch
Where to Find: Zydeco Gifts
Brand: Oriental trading Company
Price: $2.00 Cdn

When I look at this ducky, I can’t help but think of my daughter. She started Kindergarten this year and recently explained to me that all witches have green skin. Even this little ducky has green skin and wants to me a good little witch (like the witch on Sofia the First).

This ducky is my only ducky who has a wart on the end of her beak. Her wart is green but her broom is yellow.

Love Ducky loves cooking and eating Dungess crab. It's her favourite type of seafood. When she isn't eating crab she shares her heart in other ways by giving us free hugs. Her "Puss in boots eyes can cheer up any shopper.

She makes a great stress ball and gives off quite the squeak.


So fresh

Willow Beach Ducky

Name: Willow Beach Ducky
Interests: Twirling my sun umbrella and skimboarding
Where to Find: Accent Inns, Richmond, BC
Brand: Unknown



“Can you twirl your umbrella?”


Last summer while my father-in-law was travelling for work, he stayed at his first Accent Inns. He was very excited to acquire a ducky that I don’t have. This isn’t an easy feat since I have 973 unique rubber duckies. However, we were both very excited when I was able to add this ducky to my collection.

Willow Beach Ducky is great at skimboarding. She always remembers to wear her hat to the beach. She’s also pretty good at holding her own in a game of Tennis.

Elizabeth's 1st Birthday Duckies

Name: Elizabeth’s 1st Birthday Duckies
Interests: Baking and decorating all kinds of desserts
Where to Find: Orientaltradingcompany.com
Brand: Oriental Trading Company
Price: $0.75 including shipping


Sprinkles make the cupcake.

My second daughter is 1 today! She loves rubber duckies, so we had a princess rubber ducky party for her. She was born at home in a relaxing birth pool at 2:33 AM. Every time she feels sad I bring her in my office and she points and smiles at the hundreds of rubber ducks lining my shelves. I used rubber duckies as party favours for my first daughter’s first 4 birthday parties and my son’s first birthday party. These duckies were are Elizabeth's party favours.

The tastiest looking cupcake ducky is the chocolate ducky on the far right. His vanilla friend also has a cherry on her head. The pink and purple ducks are at the party to help decorate and are really just along for the ride. The purple ducky is going in my daughter’s time capsule.

“Reporting live from a log”

Last year my husband acquired this Accent Inn rubber ducky for me. I was very excited to receive my second Accent Inn rubber ducky.

News Reporter ducky is striving to be anchor one day but for now he reports the weather. HIs favorite beach is the Esquimalt Lagoon. His nickname for the beach is Driftwood. When he isn’t reporting the weather and tide charts from a log, he enjoys teasing the geese and seagulls. He enjoys fresh clams and finding sea glass.

Rubber Ducky Umbrella

Name: Rubber Ducky Umbrella
Interests: Singing in the rain
Where to find: TJ's The Kiddies Store
BrandStephenJosephGifts.com
Price: $21.99 CDN

I received this ducky umbrella as a Mother's Day gift this year. It is the first rubber ducky umbrella I have ever seen. I have always wanted rubber ducky rubber boots, so if anyone ever sees any let me know. Our kids have rubber ducky raincoats.

I love using this umbrella because it always makes people smile.

I guess this is more a ducky than a rubber duck.

Sidecar Ducky

Name: Sidecar Ducky
Interests: Driving http://www.vancouverislandgrandloop.com/ and Dallas Road
Where to Find: Accent Inns (However, this guy came from the Thrift store)
Brand: Unknown
Price: Free when staying at the hotel (I paid $1.00)


“Can you tilt your sidecar?”


Sidecar Ducky is number 899 in my ducky collection. My parents found this ducky for me at a Thrift store in Victoria. I immediately researched Accent Inns and was very excited to learn that this hotel is in Victoria! I love the idea of hotels, restaurants, airlines or any business giving out rubber duckies. Could there be a cuter or friendlier way to represent your brand?

Sidecar Ducky owns a 2013 Ural Patrol. He is an expert at tilting it. The sidecar is equipped with a seatbelt (that he installed himself) for his ducklings. When he isn’t enjoying the scenic drive along Dallas Road, he can be found planning a motorcycle camping trip or his VIGL trip this August.
