A MUM blew £10 on a Santa's grotto experience for her lad – only for him to be given a 10p pack of sweets as a "present".
The rip off gift – a pack of Parma Violets – left the mum livid.
And she was so hacked off by the stunt she took to social media to blast the sham Santa.
Posting the "let down" on TikTok, she captioned a video of her son: "When you pay 10 pound to see Santa and get 10p sweets as a 'present'."
In the clip the youngster looks seriously put out as he tries to gnaw his way into the classic sweets.
It is unclear where the grotty grotto experience took place.
