We finally put our tree up and we are very proud!
My Christmas Tree would not be complete without a Christmas Duck Bauble.
I found this little guy on a shopping trip to Basingstoke in Tiger. They have a whole range of Christmas Baubles. Check out the link here to see.
We had a lovely evening decorating the tree, a theme of Ducks, Baking, Harry Potter and Disney. The bottle of wine was nice too!
So my flatmate has just gone for a shower. That is where I got my inspiration for today’s Duck of the Day.
Today’s Duck is Quackers. Quackers is a lovely shea butter soap in duck form! Picture below. Yes picture of the duck, not my flatmate in the shower… sorry to disappoint, but we are not that kind of blog.
How cute is he! I sense a whole new brand about to emerge here. I mean “Dove” is a brand of soap, so why not “Duck”? Oh wait, probably because it is already a toilet cleaner. You don’t want to wash with the same thing you clean your loo with.
Update on shower status: Flatmate has emerged from the shower as I am halfway through this post. We are now on the subject of duck and soap related puns and I just really had to share her golden egg of tonight. “Imperial Feather”. I can’t breathe 😂😂😂. Shortly followed by “Molton Down” and “Radux”.
Anyway, I found Quackers the Duck soap on notonthehighstreet.com. Click here to view. You definitely need to buy this. You shower right? Shower in style! #BeakyClean
On the 10th day of Duckmas, A little bit Quackers gives to thee: The only wedding gift you’ll ever need.
I love these! A Bud Duck is always a quality Duck and these little sets are perfect for weddings and anniversaries. I just love the Groom’s removable hat!!
Would also make a very cute wedding cake topper.

You really can get a duck for any occasion! I first saw these ducks at The Duck House (which is where the links above will take you) and I just thought they were adorable. Unfortunately I forgot about this the last wedding I went to!
I have been very good this year. Honest. Look at this!
I have a lovely little collection of Swarovski Crystal ducks which have been gifted to me over the years but this is an entirely different puddle of duck.
Currently selling for £120 from The Duck House, there is only 180 of these in the world. How cool is that. This is a very special duck… look how shiny it is 😍
So like a said previously, I have been very good this year, so Santa baby, slip a Swarovski Duck under the tree for me? 🙏
So following on from the Unicorn Cupcakes here I conveniently stumbled across an advert for this lovely little glow in the dark unicorn duck. It is a little bit creepy how Facebook stalks your life to tailor its adverts to whatever you’re talking about.
This year definitely seemed to be all about unicorns 🦄
Available from my favourite shop for £16.99 The Duck House
Another Day another Duck. This time chosen by Emma.
I have to say that if I had my way this duck would be Harry Quacker, not Harry Ponder. But do not let this take away from what is a fabulous duck.
“Harry Ponder and the Ducky Shallows”. This does kind of open the door for all sorts of duck related sequels.
“Harry Ponder and the Peregrine of Aquaban”
“Harry Ponder and the Hummingbird Prince”
“Harry Ponder and the Giblet of Fire”
“Heron Potter and the Chamber of Sea Ducks”
“Harry Ponder and the Deathly Bill” – Actually we will disregard this one. Sounds like one of my mortgage payments.
Credit to my lovely flatmate Ellie for her help with the Harry Potter duck related puns. I live with this amazing human and yes we find ways to amuse ourselves, we’re so punny. Yes that was dreadful I can only apologise. Obliviate.
Anyway less of us and back to Harry;
Harry Ponder is available from Celebriducks by clicking here and also from The Duck House by clicking here. Also available on Amazon at the moment with delivery in time for Christmas!!
Why is this not in your basket yet?!
Winter is most definitely here so today’s Duck of the Day is the Snow Duck as chosen by Suzie.
Also sold by The Duck House, if you have not guessed by now this little shop is most definitely a favourite!
There is a full winter collection available for Christmas 2018! Will make a lovely stocking filler or decoration for the festive period, and unlike a snowman this little snow duck will survive the spring! I have been reliably informed that there is zero chance of melting.
So next time you are asked “Do you wanna build a snow man?” you can keep your feet up with a cuppa tea and relax, because you’ve gone one better and got yourself a Snow Duck!
Let’s hope Snow Duck brings us some snow!
Day one’s Duck has been picked by my lovely flatmate.
Here is the Flamingo Duck sold by The Duck House in Brighton.
Don’t be confused by this Flamingduck’s confused expression, he will make a lovely stocking filler for any animal/bird lover. Although I have to admit he does look like he is judging you. We will rename you Judgey Flamingduck.
Flamingo’s were hot this year. Think stationary, pool floats, flip flops! Perfect little addition for any flamingo collector 🙂
I keep being told that I do not blog enough. Therefore I would like to introduce to you December’s Ducks of the Day. Each day will feature a different duck and trust me these make amazing stocking fillers :).
I was incredibly tempted by the 12 Ducks of Duckmas. But why stop at 12 when there’s 31 days in December? That really would be quackers.
After the attempts of the previous post a very unlikely friendship has formed! When Bobby first met Brunch he was most unhappy and took every opportunity possible to attempt to eat him. Who was this tiny little rodent suddenly invading his home and stealing the love of his humans? I’ve never seen such a jealous dog!
When Bobby started spending all his time staring into Brunch’s cage I was convinced he was once again looking at a potential snack. However I was wrong and he’s actually fascinated by him and Brunch seems to be equally fascinated by Bobby. How a tiny little hamster can let a dog lick his ears without running away or being eaten I have no idea!
Now I’m rather dreading having to separate such a friendship when I move back home after Christmas! Regardless of when I move Brunch back home I think I will have to bring Brunch back to visit Bobby regularly.
Not much of a post but I thought this was just far too sweet to share. If two animals of two different species are able to get along and form such a friendship then why is it we as humans are unable to get along?
A Little Bit Quackers....
