TikTok Trend Encourages Gifts in Baby Products Aisles

A TikTok trend inspired by a video posted by Denaesha Gonzalez has gone viral, encouraging people to leave gift cards or cash in baby products at stores like Target and Walmart as anonymous acts of kindness. Gonzalez's video showed an abandoned purse in a baby aisle, which she interpreted as a sacrifice by a mother choosing baby needs over her own desires. The video, captioned 'she deserved the purse,' resonated deeply, gaining over 23 million views and sparking the hashtag #shedeservedthepurse. Inspired by this, many have followed suit, including Cecily Bauchmann, who left a $100 gift card in a diaper box. While initially positive, the trend has led to some people raiding baby aisles to find the hidden gifts, raising concerns about its sustainability and potential misuse.
