At this time of year everyone has the same list: a colleague, a friend, the neighbour who waters your plants, a gift exchange with a €15 limit, and that one person who already has everything. Here is how to get through the whole list without spending a fortune or buying ten candles.
Why a small gift beats a big one
The best small gifts show you know the person. A €12.95 duck that matches someone's job, sport or obsession gets more of a reaction than a generic gift set that cost three times as much, and it stays on the shelf long after the wrapping paper is gone.

Colleagues
A duck for their job. We wrote a whole guide: gifts for colleagues.
The one who has everything
They do not have a gold duck. Or one of our Detailed Ducks, the collectors' favourites.
3 ducks −10%, 5 or more −15%. Mix any you like; the discount is applied automatically in your cart. Spend €35 or more and a Sharky keychain is added to your order for free. Shipped within 1–2 days, 14 days to return.
Gift exchange tips
- Stick to the limit. Most of our ducks are €12.95, minis €7 and keychains from €5.
- Make it personal. A duck that matches the person always gets the biggest laugh in the room.
- Buying for a group? Mix and match: 3 ducks −10%, 5 or more −15%.
- Order in time. We ship within 1–2 days, but carriers get busier in December, so do not leave it to the last week.
Frequently asked questions
What is a good gift under €20?
Something that shows you know the person: a duck that matches their job, sport or hobby costs €12.95 and is far more personal than a generic gift set.
What should I buy for a gift exchange?
Something fun that stays within the limit and suits anyone in the group. A themed rubber duck or a keychain works for almost everyone.
What do you give someone who has everything?
Something they would never buy themselves, like a gold duck or a detailed collectors' duck.
How fast do you ship?
Orders are sent within 1–2 days, with 14 days to return.
