unsolicited goods or not?

nosuchthingasasillyquestion

I ordered some craft items from a shop for click and collect. After walking home with my collection a day later, I discovered that they've put something else in the package - not a duplicate item, not even an item I had clicked on, looked at or had any cause to consider purchasing. 

Does that make the item an unsolicited good? It isn't on the receipt, of course, I didn't ask for it but they provided it in the package containing my name.

No, it makes it something they've given you by mistake.

"Unsolicited goods" (in the legal sense of something deliberately being sent to you out of the blue, followed up by a request for payment) pretty much don't exist these days.

Couldn't be any further away from being an unsoliciated goods.

No. It is a mistake.

Just contact them to let them know their mistake and see if they want to come and collect it.

Depending on the value they may let you keep it.
