Dinky Duck Nurse

Our very own Florence Nightingale, Nurse Duckling has cleaned the grazes and wiped away the tears of all our most adventurous young Duckys. St Luke’s Hospice is situated close to DCUK and we’ve been aware of their amazing work and support for a while. We were proud to launch the Dinky Duck Nurse with the promise to donate 20% of all sales to help the hospice continue to make a difference locally. The response from our customers was phenomenal, right across the UK.

This item is the Dinky Duck version of our best-selling Nurse Duckling, which has become even more of a poignant symbol of thanks and of hope this past 10 months or so. The Dinky range doesn’t compromise on any of the details on their bigger siblings – with the same decorative style, craftsmanship and attention also present in the smaller form. The Dinky Duck Nurse is already set up to be given as a meaningful gift, as each one comes in a wonderfully illustrated gift box with ribbon carry handle.

Each character is hand carved and then carefully painted individually, making each one unique.

Names that we feel suit them are printed onto cotton name tags, and then carefully tied around the neck of each one. Customers can personalise these too if they wish. Every single one also proudly displays their DCUK Pin – a promise that it is a true DCUK original. This means it is guaranteed to have been handcrafted from earth-kind bamboo, painted individually and is ready to charm and delight its new owner.

Our customers don’t just purchase or stock DCUK original characters – they believe in them. They believe that each one is a unique gift that tells a personal story. They also believe in the value of the traditional craftsmanship and artistry.

And they share our belief that every DCUK character can help make someone smile.

The Dinky Duck Nurse has been put through its paces with our not-very-technical (but effective) ‘smile test’. If it makes all the DCUK team smile, we just do it. If someone else smiles, we carry on with a bigger spring in our step. And if a customer has a smile when they see one of our characters, they usually buy or stock it.

We’re confident that our Dinky Duck Nurse will make the judges smile too. If that happens, then we will have achieved our goal.
