Embarrassing mistake on The Reject Shop Christmas wrapping

An eagle-eyed mother has left the internet in stitches after spotting an embarrassing spelling mistake on Christmas wrapping paper that was picked up from The Reject Shop.

The mother from Queensland said that she wrapped up all of her family’s presents using the wrapping paper, but it was only until she had finished that she realised that a key word was misspelled.

She noticed that the word ‘Christmas’ was accidentally spelt as ‘Chirstmas’.

The mother shared the mistake in a closed Facebook post, according to The Daily Mail.

“Did anyone else pick up some wrapping paper from The Reject Shop? Check the spelling,” the mother said.

“I wrapped them all before I even noticed. I think my family will find it funny, as I did.”

Other shoppers were quick to point out that they’d bought the wrapping paper for their presents.

“Oh my God, I didn't even take any notice and I've wrapped a whole heap up,” one woman said as she laughed.

However, some were indifferent to the mistake as wrapping paper is only going to get “ripped” at Christmas.

“Who cares, it's only going to be ripped open on 'Chirstmas' day,” one said as she laughed over the spelling over Christmas.

One joked: “Just use it for the little ones who can't read yet.”

Others said that they would specifically seek out the paper just for a joke with their family.

“So funny, at least the person getting the presents might have a giggle - it'll be a present to remember,” one said.

“I would buy it just for the spelling,” one said.

Another said: “Gonna buy it anyway, see if anyone notices.”

One said: “Bet you $100... unless you tell them, they won't even notice!”
