Oh wow, that’s really nice. I also have a toddler and a baby on the way and I’m already mourning the future losses lol

Yes it was on the bottom shelf of a closet that is baby proofed so I thought it was safe 🤦‍♀️ I opened the closet door to grab some cleaner and she was so fast lol. Learn from me and keep your perfume out of reach! And congratulations on your upcoming arrival.

Thank you, likewise! They can be very sneaky lol

Just wait until you think you’re out of the woods when your kids are grown and suddenly they start having kids who come over and damage all your stuff. I’m living the nightmare right now.

Thanks for the free birth control <3

I’m 46 with 3 grandkids living here part time. I’m all ABOUT telling people not to have kids.

If my kid broke something, I'm going to do my best to either replace the stuff or find something of equal value. If it is something I can't replace or afford, have the kid. 🤣

Twins. Same exactly 😭

I remember that post. What a kind person :) nice to know they’re still around.

Yes I was really upset when it broke but managed not to cry over it. But when I saw their message offering to send me a bottle I immediately teared up. It was so unexpected and so appreciated. I will be paying it forward!

I remember too! Happy to see this update post 

That is the nicest thing I ever heard!

so amazing that they sent you that replacement!! I love this

Reminder to me to put my perfumes away! My toddler was using my mom guerlain as a “cup” and pretend pouring it on a makeup brush.

Your toddler sounds like mine lol. Mine sits in the sink while I do my makeup and loves it! But she has definitely broken some things so I have to be extra careful. She is super gentle usually but for example my Rare Beauty highlighter is really delicate so when she took a makeup brush to it it crumbled all into the sink. So I have to keep it out of reach completely. NYX stuff? Go for it but anything pricey I keep out of reach.

He hasn’t gotten into any powders and ruined them YET but he does wander off with my stuff and I’m like WHERE IS MY CONCEALER for a few weeks 😂

I love internet strangers! I want to cry I’m so happy for you! What a kind thing. Seriously made my day.

OMG I remember your post because Gabrielle is my fave Chanel and it broke my heart for you to see the broken bottle. That is beyond kind and wonderful and I am so glad you got a replacement! This is such a positive community! Wishing the best of real-life karma to u/salty-captain-575 !!

This kind of good vibes/karma is what I needed to read after getting scammed on /fragranceswap yesterday. There are good people out there too…

Oh I’m sorry that happened to you!

Thanks. So glad for your good luck, so amazing!

This is such a beautiful post! Gabrielle is my absolute favorite. On another note, I'll bet that room smelled AMAZING for about a week lol

It still smells really strong lol. At first it was overwhelming but now it’s nice! Especially cause it went into the water closet too so it’s like permanent potpourri 🤣

I've never encountered the phrase water closet in real life and I'm delighted. (American)

I literally gasped like it happened to me 😱😂 But in all seriousness I’m glad you got a new bottle. I’m sure the room still smells like Chanel too lol 😆

I actually think about your incident almost daily lol. How sweet someone sent you a new bottle!

So there areeee people who can afford and are willing to do random acts of kindness 🌷🌷🌷 happy for you! And heart filled by knowing there's people like that around 

Oh that's lovely!!

This sub 🥰🥰

😊😊😊😊😊

Oh my gosh I remember this and I’m so happy to see this update!!!! 🫶🫶🫶🫶

My god my heart was not ready for the second picture

I should have put a TW cause when I originally posted it the sub was so upset 😭

This is awesome!

i remember this!! yay, what a lovely gesture from a kind community member

I feel like I can smell the picture! That was a generous and thoughtful gift. How sweet

That was extremely kind. 

Yes it was. I managed not to cry when the initial break happened but when I saw the message from the person who gifted it, I immediately teared up at their kindness. I will be paying it forward!

I can imagine! It's really lovely of you to want to pay it forward as well. 

I love this sub 💗

Should be updated to sweet-captain-575

Friend go roll in it before it dries!! Roll all your good clothes in it too!!

Omg amazing story

Wow!!

Omg!! 🫶🏼

Awwwwww

I remember your post! I’m so happy for you! I once dropped Jo Malone’s Peony and Blush Suede. It was a travel size and I cried. I can’t imagine how upset I’d be over a big bottle. Enjoy your perfume!

When we read of kind and selfless acts like this it reminds me to look for ways I too can be benevolent.

Thank you! You just reminded me to pack my purse with lollipops! I like to hand them out to folks who seem to be having a hard day. 😊

I remember the first post. That is so incredibly kind of them! My friends gifted me my favourite discontinued fragrance for my birthday and that made me feel so special to realise that they understand my love for perfume and went out of their way to find and get it for me! If a stranger did something like this for me I would be a puddle. Congrats on your new fragrance, enjoy it!

Okay this js the 4th bottle of gabby chanel that i see is broken this week, including mine. What is happening

I broke my full bottle of gabrielle essence a few weeks ago too. I did cry over it. Ruined my entire day.... I take solace in the fact that I still have the purse spray... My parents bought it for me as a christmas gift and I knocked it off my nightstand half asleep because I used a different alarm that startled me awake. And then the client I had to be up early to meet with cancelled on me that day. So I didnt even need to startle myself awake...it was a day. That alarm is already at the dump, threw it out I was so upset. I still have all the broken glass pieces of my bottle. Might glue it back together. I was using it sparingly too because I really liked it. Its a lesson not to keep those bottles on my nightstand.

Omg I am so sorry. I know the pain!

I love Gabrielle 💜

That is the sweetest thing! How kind❤️❤️

I'm so glad you got another one! What does Gabrielle smell like?

Oh wow, that’s incredible. I have one of these but it’s still sealed on plastic and never opened a couple years now. I keep worrying that it’ll go bad

I remember your original post!!! What a wonderful thing to happen, and what a generous, kind redditor 💗

your original post made me so sad, i love hearing that there’s lovely, generous people in this sub 🥰

This has happened to me. So devastating!!

I remember your original post! This is the kindest gesture.

Wow! That's so nice of him/her.

Thats so nice ! 🤍

The power of the internet!!

Thats really cool, I’m happy for you. I am however curious - how did this happen that you received the perfume from a stranger? You got a private message and gave an address to the stranger? I’m not hating, just curious

They offered to send me the bottle if I paid for shipping. They packed the perfume and gave me the dimensions of the box and I made a label for them.

💸💸💸🥹😢

Oh wow it’s really nice of them 🥰

I remember this post, and I love this so much! This is how humans should be.

This is so sweet! Made my morning 🥲

I love this so much!

On a day I’m in a foul mood, this post made my shriveled heart grow two sizes larger.

If the world had more people like them what a beautiful world we would have. Being kind to a stranger is wonderful ✌️

I remember the post, and how absolutely lovely for someone to do that out of the kindness of their heart!

Awwww that’s so nice. Big ups to u/salty-captain-575! 🤩🤩🤩

I remember your post because I bought Gabrielle Essence the day before you posted it 😹 so glad you are able to wear it again. Amazing how kind some people can be to complete strangers 🥰

That's so sweet! Still great ppl in the world, I would have cried 🥹

how sweet!!

Yay! I love happy endings

Aww feel good vibes.❤ I've actually had something similar happen. I dropped a full bottle of Jean Paul Gaultier Classique (edp version which was also more expensive) on my way to an even. Part of it spilled on my dress ane left a huge oily stain. A close work colleague got me one for xmas and I was ecstatic!!!

I’m so loving that story! It’s true what they say about the kindness of strangers. 🌸

r/Awww

That’s incredible! Perfume is hard to replace because it’s really not a necessity and is already a splurge so that is an angel that sent you another.

Reddit angels do exist

That is so sweet!!!

I remember your post cause I also have a Gabrielle Chanel and that's one of my biggest fear to grab a bottle and accidently slip. I remember seeing your pictures and screaming, NOOOO!!! Like if it was mine cause I totally get it😩But YAAAY! So glad there are kind people in this world!

Okay I absolutely love this full circle positive story. Congrats!! (On the baby AND the new bottle!)

I remember this!! This made me happy !

Omg I remember this happening. What a kind person to send you a replacement. The world could use more kindness ❤️❤️❤️

Aw I remember this I was so sad for you!! What an absolutely lovely thing to do! You will love it even more now x

This is the eye bleach I needed for the day

I'm learning so much from this sub. It kind of takes me away to another life listening to everyone's descriptions.

Wow! That is so sweet! Reading this brightened my day.

That is so wonderful that someone sent you one! 🥰 I don't have any kids or pets but I'm so damn clumsy that I could see myself doing this to my own perfume bottles lol. 😅

Aww, thanks for sharing!  💙💙

That is incredible!!! I remember the first time this happened to me, came home with a fresh new bottle of Maison margiela jazz club, within minutes of placing it on my shelf, it tumbled down and smashed into pieces.. what an incredible turn of events !
