Ducks are in Vogue: The Hottest Christmas Gift of 2024

It's that time of year again when the hunt for the perfect Christmas gift is on. I noticed yesterday something that really cheered me up, that one of the biggest hits has emerged as the must-have item of the season, and it's a duck!

By the way this isn't an advert or a sponsored post, I just thought it was cool!

It's called the Pets Alive Mama Duck and Baby Surprise set. The set is basically a mother duck that waddles and quacks, soothed by the sight of her ducklings lining up behind her. It's a whimsical and interactive piece (top marks for whimsy). But beyond its entertainment value, the Mama Duck and Baby Surprise set teaches kids to love fowl friends from an early age and respect nature. Which is important.

I am hoping the popularity of the Pets Alive Mama Duck and Baby Surprise set is just the latest chapter in the ongoing "duck craze" that has started to sweep the globe. I want to live in a world where ducks, especially ceramic, in all their quirky and charming forms, have become the must-have accessory for the home, with people clamoring to add these feathered friends to their collections. Not entirely based on selfish needs either hehe...

Whereas I'd love to say the a silly ceramic duck is a perfect Christmas gift, I'd not be annoyed if I got this creature either. A testament to the enduring appeal of the humble round aquatic borb.
