Brand New at our Shop!
We just launched a brand new line of cruising duck tags! Hiding rubber ducks on a cruise ship is popular with cruisers. To help you join in on the fun, we’ve created dozens of easy-to-edit, fun, and colorful tags for you to customize and attach to your rubber ducks.
With our easy to follow instructions, you’ll be able to add your name, your hometown, your cruise ship, and sailing date information on the tag. From there, you’ll simply print it off, punch a hole in the corner and secure it to a duck.
We also have a ton of tags that you can simply print, hole punch, and attach to your ducks.
Head to the shop to check out our fun, festive cruising duck tags.
