Shoppers find freebies in Bunnings scavenger hunts
<p>A Bunnings customer has shared the small act of kindness she experienced after finding a gift for her children randomly placed on a shelf in her local store.<br />Taking to social media, the Melbourne mum said she was surprised to find a free, wrapped gift with a note that read: “You found a Bunnings Blow-Up Hammer - I’m yours!”.<br />“At our local Bunnings today, one of the staff handed my daughter a free colouring kit with pencils, a ruler, and a pencil case. I also found in a random aisle this blow-up hammer sitting on a shelf,” she wrote.<br />She shared her find on the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/Markdownaddictsaustralia">Markdown Addicts Australia</a> Facebook page, and was surprised to find her story wasn’t unique.<br />Others shared that they had also found randomly hidden Bunnings-branded children’s toys at their local stores.<br />“I love how interactive they are with kids, our local one told my boys last week that there’s a hidden crown somewhere in the store, if they find they get a free building block set,” said a mum from Lake Macquarie.<br />“Needless to say they wouldn’t leave until they found it.”<br />While some shoppers said they had never heard of these secret in-store gifts, others confirmed it was a real thing, depending on where you live.<br />“We found a Bunnings drink bottle on their outdoor settings, it had a tag on it saying finders keepers! The lady on the till said we can just take it,” another customer said.<br />Others said staff would also hand out gifts at the door.<br />“My daughter is Bunnings crazy!! She is only 3.5y but she screams in excitement at the top of her lungs when we go there. A lady gave her a Bunnings bear & a blow-up hammer once,” a mum said.<br />Other customers said they had been given everything from 10 pin bowling sets and toy trucks to children’s Bunnings-branded fluorescent “Tradie” vests.<br />Bunnings has also confirmed that staff at individual stores across the country can offer different in-store initiatives as part of their customer service.<br />“Our team are always looking for ways to provide great service and will often go above and beyond to make sure customers have the best shopping experience,” a Bunnings spokesperson told Yahoo News Australia.<br />“We host a variety of free D.I.Y. workshops, kids activities, and in-store events that are organised and run locally through each store.”<br />Image: Yahoo News</p>
