Ducky's By The Dozen

Rubber Ducky Your The One! 

Who doesn't love rubber ducky's? They've been around since the 1800's created when other rubber toys began being manufactured.  It's even rumored that Queen Elizabeth owned a rubber ducky! It became hugely popular when Ernie (a Sesame Street Muppet) began singing his Rubber Duckie song and since then has achieved iconic status in the USA.

Now days, rubber duckies are largely associated with babies and children of course and it's one of our most popular theme baby gifts. Stork Baby Gift Baskets offers a dozen gifts including baby gift baskets, baby diaper cakes and gift sets which feature the ever famous rubber duckie or his very closely related cousin the plush duckie!
