A boyfriend who wanted to surprise his girlfriend with a cheeky calendar for Christmas got significantly more than he bargained for when he accidentally ordered 100 copies of it.
Yep, Dean Spencer ended up lumped with a gigantic haul of calendars featuring pictures of himself in a variety of hilarious and risqué positions.
It was supposed to be a funny present for his girlfriend, Jamie Wilkes, but he realised that he'd accidentally cocked the whole thing up and ordered a tonne of the things that he had no idea what to do with.
Well, he tried to turn his mishap into an opportunity by selling a few off to raise money for charity.

The money from the sales of the calendars is going to a good cause. He's also set up a fundraising page and hopes to turn his mishap into a bit of cash for prostate cancer.
You can donate to Dean's cause (and perhaps even bag yourself a calendar) here.
Come on, it's funny, and it's for a good charity. You've no excuse not to buy one now.
He explained: "It was meant to be a bit of fun for my girlfriend. I took my clothes off and got my Photoshop on.
"When I opened the box my first thought was 's**t' and realised I'd somehow managed to order 100 by mistake. I didn't know how to tell Jamie."
"I panicked and started checking my bank balance and then I turned to Twitter to ask the company, Instantprint, what I should do, and they suggested I sell them."
He continued: "I gave it some thought but it turns out not many people are in the market for one of these calendars, I can't think why.
"Now they're just sat in my room and I'm getting a bit desperate to shift them."
To be fair, he put a decent amount of effort into creating the calendar. It took him four hours to take all the pictures, then presumably a bit longer to superimpose himself into the 12 various scenarios and locations.
It covers all of the major annual events, too. St Patrick's Day, Christmas, Valentine's Day, all represented in a series of semi-naked photos featuring Dean.
Luckily, Jamie is a fan of the calendar, even if there are now 100 of them and Dean is £80 out of pocket.
She said: "He put a lot of effort in to this - I'm just glad I didn't open it in front of my parents.
"The fact he's ended up with 100 of them is just the icing on the cake."
