Brits have been left in stitches over a mum’s Christmas gift to her 18-year old daughter, labelling it “present of the year”.
It comes in the form of a 2025 calendar, ideal for fans of the ITV sitcom Benidorm, or those who appreciate the Spanish holiday resort.
Delighted by her purchase, the mum shared a snap of ‘The Mobility Scooter Riders of Benidorm’ calendar to Reddit, penning in excitement: “It has arrived!” The calendar features monthly images of unsuspecting tourists exploring the Alicante town on their scooters.
She proudly added: “This one’s for my 18-year-old; just waiting on the ‘Irish Dressers and Folklore’ one to arrive for her 16 year-old brother!” Available from DullKev.com, the unusual gift prompted others in the CasualUK to admit it’ll be difficult to top something so funny. “You’ve won legend mother present buyer of year!” one person declared. “Well done, you’ve won absolutely nothing lol but I feel the title makes up for that.”
Another Reddit user said: “This is amazing. My wife watches far too much ‘Bargain Loving Brits In The Sun’ and would love this.” A third person said: “You’ve just sorted my dad’s Christmas present, thank you!”
The woman who purchased the calendar later revealed that novelty gifts are a Christmas tradition in her family. “They have come to expect that, every year, one of their Christmas presents from me will be something completely and utterly ridiculous, and they still seem to enjoy it, so I carry on with the tradition,” she joked.
The product description for Dull Kev’s calendar reads: “Step aside all those past freewheeling Easy Riders with their testosterone-powered Harley-Davidsons and Nortons. Battling seaside bikers Mods and Rockers of past years have to accept their demise and take a final bow.
“Hells Angels riders from around the globe will soon be enduring the final curtain because… Now, there are ‘new kids on the block’ – a new generation (albeit old) of freewheeling biker riders. Join those promenade parading pensioners as they tear up Benidorm’s scorching streets. Let’s help burn rubber with the Café and bar Racers.
“Scoot along with them on their white knuckle ride along those sizzling sunshine pavements. With this calendar we can all celebrate all those Born to be Mild.”
