The heartfelt thanks a volunteer received after baking birthday cakes for survivors of trafficking has left the internet teary-eyed. Reddit user u/oddjaqx shared photos of two ornate cakes she created—a 23rd and a 26th birthday cake—for her friend who runs a shelter supporting victims of trafficking. Alongside the cakes, she posted images of handwritten thank you notes she received. The post quickly resonated with the online community, garnering over 960 upvotes in the subreddit Made Me Smile. "This is the thank you card I received. My eyes were moist while reading it," she wrote. One of the thank-you notes reads: "Jaq. Thank you so much for the perfect sloth birthday cake. It was literally so perfect!" Another message, full of raw emotion, shared just how meaningful the gesture was: "Jaq. You're an angel. Thank you so much for the cake it has been rough out here cuz I ain't got my family // but that cake made me feel thought about THANK YOU!" The writer went on to describe the creation as "beautiful" and called Jaq a "talented" and "sweet person" who "put lots of smiles on different faces." As for the cakes themselves, they were nothing short of showstoppers. One was a pink and yellow sloth-themed cake, adorned with sunflowers and rainbows for someone turning 26. The other was a dreamy blue and cream under-the-sea design, complete with shell decorations and a pearl embedded in a clam. In the post, Jaq explained she volunteers as a baker for an organization that provides birthday cakes for underprivileged children and those in difficult circumstances. Reddit users flooded the comments with praise and gratitude for her work. "YOU ARE A BEAUTIFUL TALENTED ANGEL," one user wrote emphatically. "Right?? The detail on those cakes alone deserves a medal. Absolute angel energy all around," added another. A stock image showing two 13th birthday cakes. A stock image showing two 13th birthday cakes.

I can only imagine how touched the recipients would be to see these cakes and know someone thought they were special enough to give them such beautiful works of art. You're not just giving them a cake. You're reminding the recipients that they are special and loved. What a wonderful, kind gift! You are truly talented!"

A different fan said: "At least it's something other than Stitch for a change!" Elsewhere, shoppers said they'd love the PJs for special occasions. One shopper commented: "Omggg stop. I need these for my Disney trip in November." Another added: "I'm going to go find these today as my 40th birthday eve pjs. Wish me luck on finding them." Others shared that they'd be "running" to find the PJs featuring their favourite characters. For instance, a reply read: "Oh my goodness 2 of my faves!"

I can't stand my belly exposed everytime I lift my arms up or move," and she replied: "Yeah I 100% agree!! But I do think these ones are slightly on the longer side compared to most of them and I'm 5'9!" However, the response wasn't the only criticism shared by viewers. Someone questioned: "Why don't they do these for the kids though?" Another wrote: "Nooo why did it have to be long pj bottoms? It should be shorts." While the pyjamas do not appear to be available on Primark's website, the retailer offers a selection of Disney sleepwear online. For example, there's a Disney's Minnie Mouse Short Pyjama Set for £17, a Disney's The Lion King Simba Pyjama Set for £9, and a Disney Toy Story Short Pyjama Set for £17.
