This is the year. This is the year that I get all my duckies in a row. I want to shout out a special thanks to a fellow collector for suggesting I use spice racks (3 tiers) to organize my ducks. I can fit many more ducks per shelf now. My youngest daughter, 10, even wrote a math equation (in her Grade 5 class) about my rubber duckies. “How many spice racks do you need to organize 200 rubber duckies? How many duckies fit per spice rack?”

Here is a before photo of my shelf that fit 20 Bud ducks.

Here is an after photo of the same shelf that now fits 35 Bud ducks with room for expansion.

When I first set up my ducks, I filled the shelves and forgot to account for expansion.

The Bud ducks used to have hats that came off. However, the latest ducky that my husband and daughter bought for me in London 2 years ago, has an attached hat. How disappointing. I am sure it is part of shrinkflation. I love that most of my mini bud ducks have interchangeable hats.

I can’t wait to buy more spice racks (from Thrift stores, Facebook Marketplace, and VarageSale) to complete my ducky organization. Once my ducks are all in a row, I’ll do a head count and figure out my complete collection number. I haven’t counted since 2018. Stay tuned.

Here is a cool cup my friend bought me.

What's scarier than a clown? A clown on wheels. His best friend just wants to be a Good Little Witch. Even though my oldest daughter is now thirteen, I still have this Sofia the First song pop into my head a few times per year.

These are my first two rubber duckies on wheels. They enjoy racing each other too. Halloween is one week away and the excitement is building.

My parents were in Sidney for the day with friends, but I can't wait to visit DGD gifts myself and check out all their other duckies. There are tons. A special thanks to another local collector who told me about DGD Gifts.

Michaels 2024 Halloween Ducky Set

Names: Hippy, Franky, Witchy, Skely, and Midnight

Interests: Costume parades and parties

Where to Find: Ducks in the Window

Brand: Creatology

Price: $7.99 Cdn Each What? With a 30 percent off coupon they are $5.59 each so it was $27.95 for the set. However, last month I spent that price on one duck alone. The cost of duckies keeps going up too. Inflation equals pricey duckies.

Michaels has had a few ducky sets these past few months. There was a Back to School set in August and now a Halloween set. Meet Hippy (the ghost and my receipt said Hippy rubber ducky, Franky (my receipt said Frankenstein's Monster), Witchy (my receipt said witch duck, Skely (my receipt said Skeleton), and Midnight (my receipt said cat).

I have a lot of Halloween duckies. I'll have to count to see if my Easter or Christmas themed duckies wins for the most duckies in a particular theme.

This is a fish cage decoration that was used for our hamster.

Our first Halloween inflatable that my 9-year-old picked out from London Drugs.

Happy National Rubber Ducky Day! It's a cold one today at minus 10 with an Arctic wind here in Victoria. Our tiny skiff of snow lasted long enough for me to photograph these duckies.

Last January 2023, my husband's aunt bought me these rubber duckies as a belated Christmas gift. We had fun opening the advent calendar and all the accesssories. I like the size of these duckies, but there are 3 repeats within the calendar itself too. Therefore, I received 14 duckies in total in this calendar. The snowflake printed duckies with the sunglasses are my favourite and the one that has "Merry Christmas" printed on her too. The toques are cute as well.

Happy 156th Birthday Canada! I purchased this ducky on Dec 06, 2020 from the online Canadian store in Toronto. A ducky collector I met in a Facebook group asked if someone in Canada could purchase this ducky and mail it to Australia and I did. I also sent her Canada Day Ducky too and she sent me Watermelon Ducky from Australia. Mini Canada Day Ducky loves to hang out with Poop duckies and other Emoji duckies from the vending machines including more Canada Day flag duckies that I have not blogged yet either. I have fallen behind on my collection documenting.

Mini Canada Day Ducky has sat in a bag in my office waiting for a spotlight blog post. However, I am creating a special Canada Day ducky shelf on my bookshelf so that she has been blogged she will have a home. I hope you all have a fabulous Canada Day! By the way, the large bunny in the photo is Bun Bun Bunny Beck.

Bearded Pat

2023-03-17T19:17:00.008-06:00

Where to Find: My aunt found these at a Thrift store in Edmonton for me.

Bearded Pat is not to be confused with his cousins Carrot, and Patrick. Although, he brings them to the ballet sometimes as well. Bearded Pat loves attending ballet performances. The Victoria Ballet is his favourite. Tonight he is going to see Amadeus.

Shortly, after their photo was taken, a giant cat named Jack walked through their crocus patch and tossed one of them up in the air. It was quite traumatic. They all went for a few sips of Guinness to recover. Happy St. Patrick’s Day 2023!

Valentine’s Day 2023 Trio Duckies

2023-02-15T00:30:00.007-07:00

Name: Valentine’s Day 2023 Trio Duckies

Interests: Accompanying homemade Valentine’s cards

Where to Find: Dollarama

Brand: It doesn’t say. There is nothing on the tag or bottom of the ducky except “Made in China” and Montreal, Quebec, Lot 232

Price: $2.50 each or $7.50 for the pair.

I love that the trio has pink beaks as their signature theme. Hugs and Hearts ducky is the white ducky with purple and pink accents. She even has 4 varying size pink hearts on her wings. Light Pinky Unicorn is a great variation of a unicorn duck (I have quite a few unicorn duckies now). Hot Pink Love ducky has two small hearts on her wing.

I love that these duckies are the same style as the 2022 Dollarama Halloween duckies and Christmas duckies. I can’t help but wonder if there was a 4th Valentine’s Day duckie or a 4th Christmas ducky because my friend in Edmonton found a 4th Halloween ducky at Dollarama for me and maybe my location did not get this ducky in or sold out before I saw them. Although, I did purchase the Christmas duckies on Halloween so they were fresh on the shelves.

I have high hopes that there will be Easter duckies too and I am surprised the stock is not out yet as St. Patrick’s day stock has been out for a while, but I did not see any St. Patrick’s Day duckies. Let’s keep each other posted.

Happy lucky Friday the 13th and National Rubber Ducky Day! Today, called for Chucky Ducky. I love the Chucky movies because Chucky is so cute and slightly creepy at the same time. Chucky is the perfect ducky to represent National Ducky Day on a Friday the 13th. Chucky is my second Tubbz rubber ducky.

This is my scariest rubber ducky that I received for Christmas. Chucky is in the Gingerbread murder scene bus. My father-in-law built this amazing bus gingerbread at our children's request.

Watermelon Ducky is the special ducky of the day for National Rubber Ducky day today.

Last summer, my daughter’s friend gave us this beautiful watermelon painting that she painted in Grade 4. It looks great next to watermelon rubber ducky. There is nothing quite like the sweetest, juiciest, most perfectly ripe watermelon on a hot summer day.

It was 0C, but with the wind chill it felt more like -1. The lagoon had a thin layer

of ice on it and there were a lot of waves too. The ocean felt as refreshing and

breathtaking as ever, but the air was shocking.

Constable Canard is from Montreal and loves her maple syrup

and tobogganing too.

Interests: Delivering birthday wishes during COVID bdays.

Where to Find: www.lilalu-shop.com

Brand: Lilalu Share Happiness

Price: Christmas Gift from my hubbie (a few years ago).

It’s our second year in a row of pandemic birthdays. I found these great stickers and made bday cards for my friends who also have birthdays this month. I was very spoiled and attended a socially distanced, outdoor, surprise yard bday party. I even ate a delicious lunch out on a patio today (as indoor restaurant dining is closed). We also can’t leave the island for non-essential travel (a.k.a. vacation). “You can’t leave the island” sounds like a catch phrase for a movie trailer.

Happy Birthday Ducky is wearing a layer cake and sporting a lovely banner.

She borrowed her mask from this ducky. https://aduckyaday.blogspot.com/search?q=MD+ducky

Busting out Ducky

2021-04-04T02:27:00.003-06:00

Name: Busting out Ducky Interests: Making and cracking hard boiled eggs Where to Find: www.lilalu-shop.com Brand: Lilalu Share Happiness Price: Christmas Gift from my hubbie (a few years ago).

When Busting out Ducky bites into a mini egg, the cracking reminds her of busting out of her own shell.

The angles of the cracks in this ducky and the levels make the texture that much more realistic. Her tail has also busted on the back. I like this brand of because they are basic looking ducks in yellow, but have cutting edge unique designs.

Happy Easter 2021!

My largest Ducky has been featured in quite a few posts before. You can find his twin here and you can find him dressed as a pirate here.

My largest ducky is dressed up for St. Patrick’s day in his perfect hat and his scarf from the Dollarama. A curious Jack the cat just had to come and see what all the fuss was about and upon investigating, he even decided to pose nicely for a photo.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day 2021! We could all use a little more luck (especially this year)!

Canadian Goalie Ducky

2021-01-14T00:00:00.009-07:00

Name: Canadian Goalie Ducky

Interests: Hockey, hockey, and then some more hockey of course.
Where to Find: Accent Inns
Brand: Ad-line
Price: $1.00 for an entire bag of 7 Accent Inn rubber duckies on VarageSale Victoria. The rest are repeats for me, but I can trade them and it was worth it to get this hockey ducky. I have never seen him before.

This is my 32nd Accent Inn rubber ducky! He also holds the great honour of being my official National Rubber Ducky day ducky for 2021! That is a tongue twister.

Canadian Goalie Ducky needs to control his temper. Unfortunately, he has been in a few too many hockey related fights. He loves being a famous hockey player (I won’t mention his team as I don’t want to start any fights). He also loves skating with his family at his favourite outdoor rink.

Chun-Li Ducky

Interests: Enjoying sunsets and hanging out with the Street FIghter and and dressing up in cosplay

Where to Find: Numskull.com and Ducks in the Window (but his girl is from VarageSale in Victoria)

Brand: TUBBZ

Price: $10.00 on VarageSale but $20.00 retail

This is my first TUBBZ rubber ducky. They are actually quite large and I love their expressions Chun-Li is angry but also smiling. The lid of her container reminds me of getting a Peanut Buster Parfait to go from Dairy Queen. She even comes with a cute little tub to sit in as part of her packaging and would look cute in the package on your shelf. It also looks like a spaceship or space helmet over a bathtub. These duckies are just as expensive and collectible as Bud and Rubba Ducks.

There are so many of these cosplay duckies to choose from and they are even going the celebrity route with a Jennifer Aniston duck and other Friends characters. I think Celebriducks has a new competitor.

Who can resist an impressive sunset?

The packaging

These snow berries match my style.

I walked into Accent Inns and asked for this ducky. I need to go back again and get Jazzy Ducky’s rapper friend. I don’t have that one either. Jazzy Ducky brings my Accent Inn ducky count to 24. I would love to see the full collection as I know the hotel does not keep track of every duck that they have ever given out, but I am trying to collect them all. I would also be happy to accept donations to the flock. You can learn more about the Accent Inn flock and their cool write up here:

Glued to your side.
