Buying nappies for your child isn’t the most cheerful of jobs, so it’s a good time to find a ‘gift from the universe’.

Francesco Greco, 35, was over the moon to find a note, signed with a smiley face, alongside a £10 note hidden in a supermarket.

The note read: ‘Dear finder, this is a gift from the universe.

‘May your life be filled with health, wealth and happiness. Love and peace xx.’


His wife Graziella Messina, 37, who is eight months pregnant and has a three-year-old daughter, Karola, said: ‘The person who left the note has a heart bigger than the whole universe and needs to be thanked.



‘Even though he or she doesn’t want to be named, they need to know we are grateful for the wonderful words he wrote down because we received that positivity and we are carrying it along with us to give to other people.

‘In the middle of all the negativity in the world this is something that restores your faith in humanity.

‘Their gesture was highly appreciated and their message will be with us forever.’

The discovery was made in an Asda supermarked in Horwich, Bolton.
