International Hoof Care Week - Duck of the Day #239

There are few attributes that ducks don't have. Personality-wise, it's all there; however, ducks were never blessed a number of things. One such thing is hoofs. Seeing as this week is international Hoof Care Week and we have no animals with hoofs, this horse rubber ducky is the best we can do!

Hopefully you are enjoying Hoof Care Week and you've had a great January!!

Bubble Wrap Appreciation Day - Duck of the Day #238

We would like to bring your attention to quite the important event! Today is Bubble Wrap Appreciation Day.

An unfortunate fact of life is that some ducks don't make it to our stores in tip-top shape (see picture for evidence). Rubber duckies get sent to us with all sorts of odd deformities. We do our best to take care of these duckies, often finding homes in the strangest places: under desks, behind cash registers, you name it!

In addition to the protection the rubber duck population, bubble wrap is endlessly fun and even more endlessly annoying to those you love ;-) It is truly worthy of your appreciation!

Have a quacktastic day!!!

Nuclear Science Week - Duck of the Day #234

Today is National Nuclear Science Week. Nuclear science has earned a pretty rough reputation over the years, but it's not all bad! Nuclear science is simply any science involving the nucleus of cells. This includes research in areas like weapons and power, but also consists of a much wider field including medicine and engineering!

There are many things you use today which are only here as a result of research of the nucleus. I cannot find indisputable evidence, but I'm pretty sure rubber ducks are some of them!! (Please comment if you know more about it)

Have a quacktastic day :-)

Can you venture a guess at what today might be? Today (in 1983) the first personal computer was released. It was the Apple Lisa, and it started an early Apple revolution.

Hopefully all of you are having a grand ol' time on your personal computer, and hopefully you all have a rubber ducky sitting on your desk :)

Oh, and leave a comment if you're using an Apple computer to look at this!

A Spy's Surprise - Duck of the Day #220

What might one spy rubber duck say to another on a day like today?

"Overheard at this clandestine meeting - There’s something big happening tomorrow, but I haven’t been able to figure it out! It has to do with ducks, but what is it, man – WHAT IS IT?"

These two lucky ducks are bound to find out soon enough, and so are you! Have a wonderful evening Quacker fans :-) See you tomorrow!

Self-Defense Awareness - Duck of the Day #219

This month is National Personal Self-Defense Awareness Month.

I'll bet the majority of you are unaware that some of our rubber duckies are experts in different martial arts! (Kudos to those of you who knew.) Often times these skills are overlooked because rubber ducks lack movable limbs that have long been hallmarks of martial arts, but you would be surprised if you saw the full range of their combat abilities!

This duckie specializes in karate, and is willing to assist anyone learning to defend themselves!

If you're looking for this fighting companion then stop by here. Otherwise you can browse quackergiftshop.com for rubber duckies of all shapes and sizes!

Elvis' Birthday - Duck of the Day #216

Hello Quacker fans! Today is Elvis Presley's birthday. He was a music icon for six decades and a man considered to be the King of Rock and Roll. Someone who has been so influential certainly deserves his own rubber duckie, and today we have decided that his duck deserves to be the Duck of the Day!

Harlem Globetrotters - Duck of the Day #215

I know that a lot of you may be excited that the NBA is back in full swing, but there is another important day in basketball history to be celebrated today! Today marks the 85th anniversary of the Harlem Globetrotters' first game.

The Harlem Globetrotters have risen to stardom in the U.S. and abroad through amazing and comical displays of basketball talent. It may be our basketball ducks' highest aspiration to make it to the NBA, but the Harlem Globetrotters would be a pretty fun second choice! :-)

Have a quacktastic day!

Hello Quacker fans! Today is a day that celebrates something near and dear to our hearts. It's National Bird Day! We, of course, have our favorites among the bird species but that doesn't mean we can't love them all!!

By number in our stores, we'd have to say penguins are the second favorite bird of choice, behind the clearly dominant ducks...which birds do you love? (aside from ducks of course!!)

First Music Chart - Duck of the Day #212

Today, in 1936, the first music chart was created! From that point on we could know exactly what songs were the most popular.

Comment if you think they could make it :-) Have a quacktastic day Quacker fans!

Today is J.R.R. Tolkien Day. He is the writer famous for The Lord of the Rings trilogy as well as other works of fiction.

If you haven't read any of his novels, today might be a good day to start! If you like him, but aren't in the reading mood, there are a few good movies out that are remakes of his work.

Have a quacktacular day everyone!
