Mum finds sweet note inside box of nappies - but some think it's rather creepy

Over the weekend, one mum nipped to the shops to stock up on nappies for her little one.

When she got home and opened the new box, she was a little taken aback by what she found inside.

Instead of just a load of diapers, there was also a note from a stranger and an Australian five dollar bill.

Michelle Pannett uploaded a photo of her findings on Facebook , where it is currently being shared by fellow parents who enjoyed the sweet gesture.

The note reads: "To the person who finds this. If you are having a tough day, I thought maybe I could brighten it up with this little surprise.

"Go buy a coffee or a scratch ticket. Practice some self-care today.

"Always remember you are much loved and you are amazing."

It also featured the phrase "My Wealth Wednesday".

The note divided opinion (Facebook)

Michelle captioned her post, saying: "Having a day at home today just trying to catch up on the mountains of housework.

"I had opened up a new carton of nappies bought from Alexandra Hills Woolworths on the weekend and found this note and $5!!!

"To the kind person that has done this thank you!! It is such a wonderful gesture and certainly brought a smile to my face. I will def get a coffee or a scratchy soon."

She added: "Hopefully someone sees this who knows you and passes on my thanks."

Her post has since been shared more than 70 times, with many agreeing that it was a lovely thing to do.

"How lovely," commented one woman.

Another said: "OMG this is absolutely beautiful."

A third replied: "That's so sweet, so nice of someone to do such a thing, lovely little surprise for you! A little bit of kindness goes a long way!!"

However not everyone agreed, as some thought it was creepy that the box of nappies had been tampered with.

A different user responded: "My first thought was 'oh how lovely'. Then I looked at my own new box of nappies, realised its fairly sealed up and now I wonder how the message could get in."

Someone else wrote: "The package has obviously been tampered with which is creepy."
