A man has wowed Reddit by sending his mum a cardboard cut out of himself so they can be together over Christmas.

The sweet son, who goes by the name of Berserk_Beer on the popular website, can't spend time with his family due to current coronavirus restrictions.

He didn't want his mum to miss out on seeing him – so sent her the next best thing.

Holding a beer and smiling in his checkered shirt, the very lifelike replacement fitted the bill perfectly.

The man wrote on Reddit: "Due to the pandemic, I decided to send my mom a cutout so I could still be home for the holidays!"

He then posted a side-by-side shot and his double did the job.

As expected, there were some comical responses to his post.

One said: "My mom would ask where the cardboard girlfriend was" and that was quickly followed by the comment: "My mom wouldn’t bother setting it up."

Another put: "I sent a cut out of my husband with our cat to my mother in law years ago because they live on the east coast and we're in the Midwest. She said she's had to hide it in the closet because it kept scaring her at night when she would forget about it. I'll have to remind her to bring it out of hiding this year!"

A third wrote: "I'm slowly gathering up the courage to fulfill my dream and get life-size cardboard cutouts of Ryan Reynolds and Will Smith, this helped a bit."

Some want to know where he got it from.

Another joked: "I think I would rather spend whatever it costs so I can skip it."
