There's nothing quite like having good neighbours - after all, life is so much easier when people living on the same street get along. For one woman, things are pretty good, as her neighbour often leaves random parcels on her doorstep - but you'll never believe what's inside.
Danielle, known as charityshoplife on TikTok, often documents her charity shop finds online, but her recent story has gone viral as it focuses on her elderly neighbour. In the video, she said she always leaves bags of things on her doorstep, so she never knows what she's going to come home to - even though the items are not for her to keep.
She said she never knows what's going to arrive next, and she's been gifted all sorts of gorgeous designer wear - from Prada to Chanel. Though the story may appear wild at first, there's a special reason why she does this and it shows just how kind some neighbours can be.
Danielle said: "For some context, I sell second hand clothing online for a living. She's a little bit elderly, she doesn't really do the internet. She won't sell anything online herself so I do it for her.
"I don't charge her anything, so let's see what we've been left with today. A nice red, oh this is really, really gorgeous. I was thinking oh a trench coat, it's got to be Burberry, and it is, and I'm not sure it's ever been worn.
"Wow, the colour of that is stunning. I really want to go and have a look in her wardrobe, but I haven't really plucked up the courage to ask yet."

She added: "Let's see what else is in here. I think it's another Burberry trench. Oh, this one's shorter this time. That's it - only two items today, but it's still pretty cool coming home to find Burberry left on your doorstep."
After Danielle shared the video, thousands of people viewed it and were quick to comment. Many couldn't believe that she gets left such luxury items.
One person wrote: "I gasped. Stunning. Do you give her the money you make? What a neighbour to have." To this, Danielle replied: "Yeah, I don't make a cut or anything.
"I just get the best price I can for her, and give her the money. It's not really much effort when my life is already listing stuff and posting parcels."
Another said: "I think we all need your neighbour in our lives." A third quipped: "Is your neighbour Miranda Priestly?"
Meanwhile, a fourth commented: "I sold for an elderly neighbour and she was so grateful. We both had so much fun guessing what price the stuff was going to sell for and how quickly."
Someone else also chimed in with: "The items are fab and so are you for looking out for your neighbour. It's a lovely thing to do - very kind."
There were some people who admitted they don't think they'd be able to part with such gorgeous clothing, while others said they'd be worried about such expensive items being left on the doorstep.
Danielle admitted: "I also wonder how long two Burberry coats sat on my doorstep before I got home. I do always say I will come and get them but they just appear."
