Few things bring people together like the holidays and music, and there are few musical fan bases as loyal as Deadheads.
2025 was a big year for Deadheads, as Grateful Dead celebrated its 60th anniversary, with a series of concerts under the Dead & Company offshoot. Now, Grateful Dead fans have something else to celebrate this Christmas season with the release of this Dead-inspired rubber ducky. The legendary jam band has now spawned a bath-time toy (though it also makes for a great collector’s item or gag gift).
Made in the USA, the yellow rubber ducky is re-imagined as a bearded, tie-dye and sunglasses-wearing guitarist. While this isn’t an official Grateful Dead release per se, it’s become a bestseller on Amazon, with hundreds of duckies purchased in the last few weeks alone, according to the site.
The rubber ducky measures 4.5 x 4 x 5.5 inches and doesn’t have to stay in the water — it also makes a great display piece for collectors to keep on their desks or shelves, and it’s a great stocking stuffer idea for the holidays. Don’t just take our word for it: happy shoppers give this Dead-inspired ducky a 4.8-star rating (out of five) from more than 4,000 verified reviews.
