"One woman's long-standing regret has finally been resolved.
On June 2, Celia Robbins took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to disclose her
deepest regret, prompted by a question from her 14-year-old daughter.
“My daughter asked, ‘Do you ever have any regrets, Mom?’ And while I know she
was asking this question on a philosophical level, my mind immediately went to
this puffin sweater I saw in Iceland,” tweeted Robbins, a freelancer and mother
of four, along with a picture of the sweater.
“It’s been three years since I saw it in a shop there, and I still regret not
buying it,” she added.
Soon after posting, Robbins' tweet went viral, attracting almost 4.4 million
views and over 2,000 reposts. Then, by a stroke of luck, the tweet caught the
attention of Dave Wiskus, CEO of Nebula, based in New York.
“My regret is that I bought this exact sweater for my wife two years ago. She
has worn it zero times. I’m in NYC. Cover shipping and it’s yours,” Wiskus
commented on the post.
Unsure if Wiskus was serious, Robbins hesitated, only to later receive
confirmation: “I would never joke about a puffin sweater,” he replied."
