With more people buying presents online, Christmas shoppers are being warned to look out for seasonal scams.
While you may think you've found a good deal, there are many popular gifts that are actually fake and come with unseen dangers.
These include counterfeit iPhones, Rolex watches and Givenchy t-shirts.
The fake Christmas gifts were discovered by Border Force officers and are now on show at Merseyside Maritime Museum.
Seized! The Border & Customs Uncovered gallery looks at the detective work, crime-fighting, patrolling frontiers and investigation work that goes into confiscating these dodgy goods.

The gallery also includes objects such as fake headphones, designer trainers, toys and perfume.
Steve Butler, Curator of Border Force Museum said: “The appeal of buying fake goods is the price.
"They are a lot cheaper and are made to look similar, but what the shoppers don’t realise, is that these cheaper options can be dangerous.
"When inspecting some of the fake products, Border Force officers found evidence of lice, and that many did not meet EU standard regulations, making them extremely unsafe for use.

"These are not gifts anyone would want to find under their Christmas tree.
“Naturally, people will be relying on online shopping more than ever this year. We want our visitors to think about the additional risks of buying their gifts online. If the price seems too good to be true, it usually is.
"Be especially cautious with third-party sellers and use trusted retailers where possible as they are guaranteed to meet UK safety standards.
"Fake items come with an unseen cost, and unbeknown to the buyer, can result in funding criminal activity.”
