    Well some people must collect them?

    I ordered a spotty one the other day and they are quite cute as a small gift.

  • I collect them. What is wrong with that? Can't stand people that critisize others if they don't have the same taste as themselves. The world would be a boring place if we were all identical.

    thanks OP i ordered one as a stocking filler for my DS who will be 9 months at christmas, he loves his baths and bath toys, he has plastic ducks, frogs and fish but not a xmas duck, so i suppose you could say this is adding to his collection!

    Hastings Hotels in Northern Ireland have a practice of issuing these ducks every christmas and on other occasions and they feature in their hotel guides. It seems some guests have made it a practice to book rooms on these occasions and the ducks have an almost cult following. Good marketing strategy it would seem.

    Calm down!!! :eek: No one was critisizing you, but people are entitled to their own opinions as well you know ..... I don't like dust collectors, but fair play to people who want one, that's what I say.
