    Beyoncé surprises Walmart shoppers with an unexpected appearance in Boston, before splashing on Christmas gift cards for everyone. Wow. Watch the amazing footage...

    Beyoncé left Christmas shoppers in a state of disbelief this weekend as she made a surprise appearance at a Walmart store in Massachusetts.

    But instead of an unexpected photocall or chance to sign albums for fans, Bey hit the aisles for a spot of Present buying for Blue Ivy.

    Pictured picking up an adorable pink doll for her baby daughter, who turns two next month, Queen B cruised the store with everyone looking on in shock.

    And after picking up a copy of her newly released self-titled album, Beyoncé proceeded to splurge $37,500 (£23,000) on gift cards for fellow shoppers.

    ‘I wanted to give everyone a little gift – for everyone in the store right now, the first $50 of your holiday gifts are on me,’ she revealed over the speakers.

    Jay Z’s generous other half made the surprise visit before her concert in Boston, as she successfully spread new levels of festive joy across the local store.

    Just when we thought the surprise release of her album was the most exciting this to happen this year, Beyoncé blows our minds all over again.
