Shopping for unusual Donald Duck gifts is a favorite past time of mine. In the parks when I can slip away and do some shopping or at home I'm always on the lookout for Donald Duck themed gifts. They always bring a smile and most times a good laugh. The classic Walt Disney Treasures collection (listed below) has been entertaining us for years.
Here are 8 great gift ideas that go beyond the traditional t-shirt or plush toy. How did I narrow it down? It wasn't easy and I may even continue to post all 80 (one for each year) in posts to come.
