The holiday season is big business for retailers, and it's not just people buying gifts. The very act of decking one's halls can put a dent in your wallet, and many companies try to get in on that action.
Unfortunately, whether due to a rushed design process or simple ineptness, many of those Christmas products are...unfortunate.
This is clearly a case of either the designer or the production factory not flipping the design properly before printing. The Santa is pretty cute, though.
Otherwise, instead of wearing a hat, Santa will be busy doing something else.
And if you really, really want to use that specific one, make sure the letter spacing doesn't turn perfectly innocuous words into something much worse.
But really, who thought an ornament of Santa as a centaur was a good idea? I suppose he could pull his own sleigh...
I mean, I get wanting to use the classic golden bunnies in a Christmas-themed product, but don't think you're fooling anyone.
I'll just hang these ornaments on my tree-shaped tree, by my mantel-shaped mantel, in my house-shaped house.
New rule: every design must be shown to a focus group of 13-year-old boys. If a problem like this exists, they will find it.
Really, it just looks like this was a way to get rid of the Easter eggs that didn't pass quality assurance last spring.
I think that Santa is putting down a present in the animation, but without the lights on, this is just awkward.
This sign was designed by the same people who cause the GPS to direct people to drive off bridges. That hive mind is terrible at directions and must be stopped.
Who thought this was a good idea?! Between the super creepy snowman and the sign begging Santa to stop, someone had to notice, right?
If I walked into a family member's home to find this monstrous demon angel on their mantel, I would run. Everything about this is awful.
Why does it look like her cheeks have fangs?!
How does it get past the designer, through the manufacturing process, and then onto store shelves? Like, it's a basic spelling error! How did no one notice? ...I need answers.
Apparently, kids are supposed to look for specific objects in the scene, but I'm too distracted by the poor lady who ripped her dress and the creepy kid on top of the fitting rooms.
These "tighty lighties" don't look like they would be very comfortable for the giantess they appear to belong to.
There's no way this actually made it through the vetting stage, right? Right?!
It somehow manages to be a bit funny, while also being in terribly bad taste.
These creepy bears are enough to scare anyone from celebrating Christmas.
I'm not even entirely certain what this decoration is meant to be, but I'm sure it wasn't supposed to end up looking like this.
But that just isn't what my eyes are telling me.
But seriously, someone needs to talk to Paris about this.
It's like the person who designed this has never even seen a poop emoji.
As if having a skinny Santa wasn't jarring enough.
Who knew snowmen were such an, uh, adventurous bunch?
I'm guessing there was a communication breakdown somewhere in the supply chain.
I shudder to think of an entire tree decorated with these.
