Gifted from my registry by a stranger :-)

momotheflyinglemur · November 2015

I am still getting steady trickle of gifts from family and friends. I am so unbelievably thankful for all that they have done for me and have nearly cried with happiness. But the floodgates were thrown open today by someone who bought something off my registry and had it shipped to me. I found her on Facebook, she is a lovely woman with a beautiful family of five kiddos. Her random generosity just makes me swell with surprise and glee.

I am now wanting to keep her kindness going. I am browsing registries looking for something I would like to buy for a stranger and make them feel as happy as I do right now in this minute.

Like a completely and total stranger? Was there a note at all?

Wow! I have never heard of anyone doing that.

@vesperlove Total stranger. No mutual friends on Facebook. She lives in a small town on the outskirts of my city.

That is one of the sweetest things that could possibly happen for you and your little one. I wish I could be able to do that for a number of different people, and it's fantastic that you want to pay it forward to someone else.

Awh that is the loveliest thing, love hearing about other people's kindness

Maybe she meant it for someone else and assumed you were the @momotheflyinglemur she knew?

Was there a note or anything??

If she really did that, that's nice. Hopefully she didn't mean to buy it for someone else and made a mistake!

That is so sweet bless her heart.

@spottedginger and @yl1m32015 I have a very very unique name. I checked the Babies R Us registry and I am the only one with my name on there. There are other people of course who have my name WITHIN theirs but not just my name. I also messaged her on Facebook to thank her, so if it was a mistake she now has the opportunity to fix it because if it was meant for another momma I would not want to keep it from her. :-D

@taylovesbrad Nope, no note.

Wow, how generous!

I saw a story about a woman who was having a baby and only one person rsvp'd to her baby shower. Her story got out and all these strangers got her everything from her registry. I was thinking how nice it would be to do something like this for someone.
