A woman has shared her joy at ‘a random act of kindness’ after finding a note and cash in a new handbag she bought from Tesco.
When Clare Smith, 42, bought the handbag from her Tesco Extra in Hucknall she was stunned to find someone had put a little gift in the inside pocket, Nottingham Post reports.
Clare, who works as a private cleaner, picked out the handbag that was the only one of its style, and hidden right at the back, on November 21.
Clare said: "I'd been looking for a new bag and not seen one I liked but this one stood out.
"When I got it home, I was removing the packaging and putting my belongings in, and in a zipped pocket was an envelope.
"Inside was the note and the money. It really shocked me."
The note read, "all your dreams are possible, go for it, have faith in yourself," accompanied by a £5 note.
Now Clare wants to use the money for a good cause to brighten up someone’s day rather than spend it herself.
She added: ”It really wasn't the money that got me though, but more the note. I've got it pinned up now.
"I'd love to know who it was - I've since been told similar things have happened before in Hucknall. It's such a nice thing to do.
Hucknall Extra store manager Sam Johnson said: "This is a lovely gesture from someone spreading kindness and we’re really happy they brightened Clare’s day."
