The Clintons Christmas card fail which may well be the best blunder of the year

If you get a card from Clintons this Christmas, you may want to double check the message inside.

Over 5,000 people have shared a photo of a card reportedly bought from a Clintons branch with a greeting which has been dubbed, well, a bit "niche".

Twitter user Joe J shared a photo of a card which read 'Merry Christmas to my wonderful brother and boyfriend.'

He told the Manchester Evening News he'd bought the card in the firm's Sutton store.

Captioning the post, and pointing out what could be deemed as a seriously 'inappropriate' error, he wrote: "I feel like they should definitely have the word ‘his’ before boyfriend."

Obviously, the internet has been as ruthless as ever.

One Twitter user wrote: "Don't be so judgemental. If there's a market..."

"A niche market: the Lannisters," said a Game of Thrones fan.

"Keeping Christmas in the family," joked somebody else.

A fourth jested: "What in sweet Jesus were they thinking?!"

Clintons has been approached for comment.
