Shoppers all over the UK have begun leaving money in baby items at supermarkets as a new social media trend starts to sweep the country.
The viral "She Deserved The Purse" trend began in the US when TikTok user Denaesha Gonzalez posted a video of a purse abandoned in the baby section of a store.
She uploaded the video with the words "she deserved the purse" while also commenting: "To the Mother who chose themselves last, you deserve the world tonight and always."

The video was aimed at highlighting the sacrifices mothers make to raise their children, according to Sky News.
The TikTok video has now been viewed more than 23.4 million times and received over 4.4 million likes.
The original post had viewers in tears, with one person commenting: "Crying cause it’s so much more then a purse, it’s a representation of all our sacrifices."

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
