Forget the roses, chocolates, champagne and lingerie… what you really really want for Valentine’s Day is a duck! We’ve been looking at what’s on offer for lovers and duck lovers this Valentines. A cute looking duck with a love message is something different, not too expensive and it lasts longer than a rose!

Rose Duck Combine a rose with a duck and you get a Rose Duck! It comes in a pinky purple colour and features roses over the body. It’s just £4.99 and available from Play.com from the 8th February

Hugs and Kisses Duck Tell someone you love them with this orange duck covered in hearts and kisses. It’s also just £4.99 and available from Play.com from the 8th February

Plush Duck For those of you who like something cute and cuddly and duck like. This plush duck is on sale at Play and is just £7.95. Put it in the microwave and it acts like a hot water bottle too!

The Love Duck The Love Duck is £7.95 and available from Firebox. It’s a massager and can offer you and your loved one hours of watery fun!

If you’re looking for something a bit saucier then there’s also some, erm, adult ducks available at Lovehoney… an Ann Summers-esque style store (just so you know what’s round the corner!)

If you’re looking for something duck like and christmassy this year then Duck Holiday have a couple of suggestions that will add a festive flavour to your duck collections. We have a chocolate christmas duck and a christmas rubber duck – and both are ideal stocking fillers or secret santa gifts too!

Chocolate Christmas Duck Available at the Chocolate Trading Company, this is a high quality, milk chocolate Christmas duck, wrapped up for winter in bob-hat and scarf. It costs £3.25!

The Star Wars Duck universe is about to expand as Duck Fader is being joined by a brand new duck – Storm Trooper duck known as a Pond Trooper. It’s again an LED glowing duck and will be a must have collectible for all duck and Star Wars fans alike (especially if you already have Duck Fader). It’s ‘coming soon’ at Firebox, I Want One of Those and Play.com!

But that’s not all! We understand that the duck side of the force is about to be balanced with the arrival of two members of the rebel alliance – Princess Layer and Luke Pondwalker. According to the info at Firebox, Luke Pondwalker’s box folds out into a Fighter Ship.

These Star Wars ducks are available from around the 23rd November, however you can preorder them for delivery – making sure you get them in time for Christmas! It’s worth shopping around though – Play.com are offering all three ducks at £8.99 each (with free delivery), Firebox have all three as well at £6.95 each (but you have to pay P&P), whilst I Want One of Those just have Pond Trooper at £6.95!

Following the success of the Betty Designer Duck (in Pink and White) in 2006, Cancer Research have launched two new designer ducks for 2007. Soapstar by Lulu Guinness and Boydie by Tracey Boyd are this season’s must-have products and cost just £4.99. They are available from your local Cancer Research UK or Wishes store from September 10th. You can find out your local store at the Cancer Research Website. Unfortunately the ducks are not available to buy online!

 

The Sopstar Duck is white with red ‘True’ and ‘False’ hearts on it whilst the Boydie Duck is pink with a polka peony design!

The Bud Designer Betty Duck was a massive success and many Cancer Research UK stores sold out of the ducks very quickly.

On our search for duck related items to go on Duck Holiday we found that Haven Holidays had a Wild Duck Holiday Park. It’s based in Norfolk and according to the website not far from The Norfolk Broads and Great Yarmouth. The Park is well known for its relaxed atmosphere – with a lovely beach only three miles away too.

The Wild Duck Park is set in mature woodlands so it is perfect for spotting the Wildlife such as Ducks and Rabbits that are in the area. There are woods on the edge of the Park which are idyllic for a relaxing stroll and if you are lucky enough you will be able to spot the Deers and Foxes. Wild Duck does hold the David Bellamy Gold Award for Conservation, so if you enjoy the outdoors and are looking for a holiday campsite in Norfolk, Wild Duck may be worth looking at.

One particular item of note is that Wild Duck Park is the only park in Great Yarmouth to cater for Touring. Motor Homes, Tourers, Tents and Trailer Tents are accepted at the Park on easy accessible grassed pitches with electric hook-up available.
