The mum was visiting the Winter Wonderland in Nottingham on Friday, December 15 with her two children. And she ended up in to tears after a little note was placed into her hands, along with a gift.

And what was that gift we hear you ask? The envelope contained a whopping £100 from the mystery stranger.

However, it wasn’t a one-off situation, as many members who visited the Winter Wonderland also received surprise Christmas gifts too. One mum in particular now wants to thank the mystery woman for her act of kindness and generous envelope, though.

The heartfelt 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."

The stranger added in their letter: "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 mum was overwhelmed by the money and kind words. She told The Mirror: "I tried to find the lady to thank her but she appeared to see me coming and dashed off."

She said she had been tearful at the time too, explaining: "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."
