The Academic Bath Duck already has its diploma in hand and yet floats serenely toward the bathtub. With its elegant black gown and classic doctor's hat, this plastic duck looks ready to deliver a formal address—but with more bubbles and less stage fright. In its wings, the little plastic duck proudly holds the rolled-up diploma with a red ribbon, as if it were the ultimate proof: here, someone hasn't just taken a bath, but has also been studying hard. The look is wonderfully detailed, from the pleats of the gown to the pom-pom on the hat, and that's precisely what makes it a little eye-catcher that, on the edge of any bathtub, immediately shouts "Respect!"

This bath duck is the perfect gift for anyone who has just passed their baccalaureate, training, bachelor's, master's, or doctorate – or for those who have long claimed to have done so. As a plastic duck, it adds the necessary humor to any congratulations without becoming kitschy.
