People visiting Nottingham city centre may be in for an extra Christmas surprise thanks to an incredibly generous individual.

Last Friday a woman was handed an envelope containing a note and £100 cash in a kind gesture while she was visiting the Winter Wonderland.

The note read: ‘Merry Christmas. It’s been a tough year for everyone. Please take this and have a great Christmas.

‘Buy that extra gift, order that extra good, treat that extra person or just yourself. The world is a better place with you in it.’

It continued: ‘The only thing I ask is… if or when you can afford it, please pay the gesture forward. Or when the opportunity arises offer a kind gesture. Merry Christmas.’

The woman, who didn’t want to be identified, told Nottinghamshire Live after she received the envelope she just ‘stood in shock’. The woman would now like to find the person responsible and say thank you.

She added: ‘I tried to find the lady to thank her but she appeared to see me coming and dashed off.’

She went on to say how grateful she was, and that the act of kindness left her ‘a little tearful’.

‘You see these things online but don’t expect them to happen to you on a random Christmassy afternoon out with your kids. It’s such a kind gesture.’

It comes after another unnamed woman from Merseyside was at the checkout of a B&M store in Everton when she received a wad of cash from another shopper who didn’t reveal their identity.

The woman, who had visited the discount shop on Great Homer Street, realised when she reached the checkout that she couldn’t afford to pay for all the items in her trolley and asked staff if they could scan the items until the shop reached the total she could afford.

However, a very generous stranger who overheard the shopper’s plight came to her rescue and dropped a wad of cash into the trolley – leaving the woman in tears.

A B&M worker told the Liverpool Echo: ‘As she was sorting out her shopping, an older male waiting behind her walked up to her.

‘[He] simply said “Merry Christmas” and dropped what looked to be a large wad of money on her shopping in her trolley and walked out without saying anything else.

‘The woman stood there for a minute or so crying saying she couldn’t believe it’.

The member of staff hoped the act of kindness, which they referred to as a ‘nice Christmas gesture’ would ‘warm people’s hearts before Christmas and show how good and close the Liverpool community spirit is’.
