With the colder months creeping in, eager shoppers are keen to get their hands on affordable decorations to enjoy the Christmas festivities. However, one customer was left gobsmacked when she stumbled across a major fail down the seasonal aisle at B&M.
Vickie Green spotted the wholesome ornament in a store, but she was in disbelief when she noticed an amusing spelling fail, which prompted her to snap a quick photograph.
The store's 'Family Block Sign' spells out the word 'family' but cleverly replaces some of the letters with festive designs. Retailing for just £6, the cheery Christmas ornament left Vickie in stitches as the missing letters make for a rather crude interpretation.
Vickie shared a snap of the product to the Family Lockdown Tips & Ideas Facebook page - which boast more than 1.2 million members. Many people have shared their thoughts on the festive blunder, as the picture has raked in over 2,000 reactions since posting.
Captioning the post, she wrote: "Don't think B&M thought this out properly."
The decorative ornament, which looks to complement your seasonal interiors, is decorated with a Christmas hat, baubles and Reindeer's nose.
These additional decorations replace the A, I, and Y in the phrase 'family', which unfortunately gives readers an eyeful as the ornament unintentionally spells out something much ruder - FML, a well-known acronym for f*** my life.
Flocking to the comment section of the viral post, social media users were in stitches over the inexpensive decoration, which sparked a hilarious reaction online.
"I'm definitely getting one ladies, I won't lie - I think it's my most typed phrase in WhatsApp," one person joked.
A second teased: "To me, 'Family' and 'FML' are one and the same."
"I was stood in B&M trying to work it out... all I can see is fml," a different user wrote.
Someone even shared a snap of the display in their own home, adding: "I'm never looking at my window sill the same again."
The Mirror has reached out to B&M fo comment.
