One sign inadvertently suggested mothers belong in the kitchen, as a range of household cleaning products were showcased next to a sign for Mother's Day.

The display decorated with pink hearts read: "Perfect gifts for Mother's Day!"

Parents would have been astonished to see a series of knives being sold under the caption: "Back to School", which had a bunch of pencils designed alongside it.

Customers could have been left wondering if the retailers needed to take their own advice.

Staff at a different store seemed very keen to express their availability to customers.

In a large hanging in-store display, a sign read claimed the shop was "open nine days a week".

Kids would have left their father's gobsmacked if they took advice from staff who positioned the sign, "Spoil dad this Father's Day" in front of a pack of tampons.

A bag of "grapeless grapes" appeared to be advertised for £148.

To the customers amusement, the grapes were positioned next to a sign which claimed the store sold "great food at great prices".

These hilarious blunders come days after staff ruined the Christmas surprise John Lewis launched in their advert.

Staff mistakenly put cuddly toys of the main character on sale early.
