A Scots mum has been left with multicoloured blotches on her skin after using a kids' bath paint set from Boots which won't wash off properly.
Debbie Stephen from Kirkliston, near Edinburgh, gave the present to her son on Christmas Eve, but couldn't get it to scrub off.
The 36-year-old has now been left with green, purple and yellow marks on her neck, saying it left her "resembling something out of a swamp" - and joked she was out of Prosecco to numb the pain, reports Edinburgh Live.
Debbie took to Facebook, saying: "Warning!!! If 'Santa' is planning on gifting this to any of your darling little angels, ABORT, ABORT, ABORT!!
"Christmas Eve has turned into an evening of endless scrubbing of the child, me, and the bath! We've just spent nearly an hour trying to get rid of the paint which has been determined to keep us resembling something out of the swamp.
Our skin is red raw, my bath still resembles a horror scene and I'm out of prosecco!!! Send bleach and booze Santa, please."
The product information says: "Create your own Avenger art with your Bath and Body Paints and Stencils. Set Includes: 1 x Applicator Sponge, 3 x 12mle Bath and Body Paints, 4 x Stencils. Suitable for ages 3+."

"I had to explain why and then the 12-year-old chimes in with ‘you can just use them on the wall or something'. See this is why we can’t have nice things! Hope you manage to get it off before you need to venture outside."
Another said: "I can only imagine the toxic chemicals in that stuff to do that...relieved you haven't been
