Okay, so I never thought I'd be writing a love letter to a duck costume, but here we are. This Markest Yellow Duck Onesie is literally the best thing that's happened to me this year.

First off - the material is SO SOFT. Like, 'I want to live in this forever' soft. It's polar fleece but doesn't feel cheap at all. When it arrived vacuum-packed (which was kinda funny looking), I was worried it would be stiff, but after washing it became super plush.

The design is adorable without being too childish. The duck bill on the hood is just the right size - not so big that it covers your whole face (though some reviewers mentioned this issue - maybe depends on head size?). The little wing details and tail are perfect touches.

I'm 5'5" and got a medium, which fits great with room to layer clothes underneath. The legs could be a tad longer (they hit mid-calf on me), but honestly that makes it easier to walk around without tripping. The buttons down the front are cute, though I do wish there was a zipper option for quicker bathroom breaks!

Wore this for Halloween and got stopped every 5 feet for photos. My friends couldn't stop laughing at how ridiculous/amazing I looked. But here's the real shocker - it's become my go-to lounge wear. Netflix marathons have never been cozier.

Pro tip: Wash it before wearing! Comes out even softer and fluffier. Also, the pockets are surprisingly roomy - can fit my phone plus snacks (very important).

Only downside? Now all my friends want one too and I kind of liked being the only duck in our group...
