Lady Netizen Moved to Tears by Mother’s Gift of New Underwear Goes Viral
A lady netizen became emotional and broke down in tears after receiving a surprise gift of new underwear from her mother.
Recently, a Reddit user skylescraperr shared her heartfelt reaction to the unexpected gift from her mom. The post immediately spread like wildfire on social media and elicited comments from the netizens.
According to the lady netizen, April was a very busy month for her. Their youngest sibling just graduated, and both parents also celebrated their birthdays. Since they had been working for a while, the woman decided to take charge of buying gifts.
Their father requested motorcycle parts, their mother asked for a new phone, and their youngest sibling was happy with anything. To afford all of this, they took extra jobs on top of their regular work, leading to many sleepless nights.
Finally, during the Holy Week, they traveled home with many gifts packed in their bags. While unpacking, they found a set of new AVON underwear. Their mother had secretly placed it there, using money she saved from the small amounts her daughter sent home.
Seeing the gift reminded them of their childhood when branded underwear was a luxury they could not afford. Back then, they usually bought cheap ones from the market or fairs, and owning something with a real brand label was a rare treat.

As a child, they even saved their “special” underwear for important days because it felt so precious.
Now, with their youngest sibling preparing for college, the lady netizen realized on how far their family had come. Life is still challenging, but they believe they are getting closer to their dreams.
Here is the full post:
“Nagbreakdown ako dahil sa AVON na panty
Ang hectic ng April ko.
Gumraduate si Bunso tapos same na April babies ang parents ko. Since medyo matagal na ako nagw-work, ako muna ang sumagot sa regalo namin sa kanila. Si Kuya naman sa mga celebratory eat outs. Si Papa ang request ay parts ng motor tapos si Mama naman bagong phone. Tapos kay Bunso ay kahit ano raw. Para ma-achieve ang fantasy nila, tumanggap ako ng mga raket bukod sa work ko.
Ilang gabi akong puyat susme. Kaya Mahal na Araw lang ako naka-uwi para isahang bagsak. Since matagal ngang di nakauwi sa probinsya, ang dami kong bitbit and kanina lang ako nagka-time na ayusin ang mga damit ko.
Pagtingin ko sa bag ko, may isang set ng AVON na bagong panty. Siniksik pala ni Mama kasi raw luma na ang mga underwear na ginagamit ko. Hindi ko napigilan humagulgol ako. Binili raw ni Mama, inipon niya sa mga natitira kong padala.
Naalala ko nung bata ako, hindi kami nakakabili ng mga ganitong panty. Madalas sa palengke, perya or kapag mga may tatak hati-hati kami since mahal nga. Kaya madalas maluwag. Kapag pinag-uusapan pa ng mga kaklase ko dati ‘yung mga tatak ng underwear di ako sumasali. Tapos pinipili ko ‘yung mga may tatak kong panty para gagamitin ko lang kapag special occasion.
Magc-college na rin si Bunso at hopefully in 4 years ay lahat kami tapos na.
Ang layo ko na! Ang layo na namin! Kaunti na lang, malapit na ako naniniwala ako.”
