"Beyonce is just full of surprises these days! The singer continued to celebrate the release of her self-titled, record-breaking, fifth studio album on Friday, Dec. 20 -- with a trip to a Walmart store in a town called Tewksbury, Us Weekly can exclusively reveal.\r\n\r\nFollowing her big night out in NYC on Thursday -- which included a Brooklyn show and album release party -- the &amp;quot;XO&amp;quot; singer, 32, scurried off to Massachusetts and completely ambushed Walmart shoppers on Friday at 7 p.m. ET.\r\n\r\n\r\nThe songstress pushed her own cart up and down the aisles of the retailer and even purchased a copy of&amp;#xA0;Beyonce.&amp;#xA0;Dressed impeccably in an aqua-colored crop top and matching skirt, paired with a stylish black leather jacket, the singer walked into the store, beaming, as she looked over at a showcase of her latest solo album. (Physical copies of Beyonce went on sale in stores Friday, just one week after its secret, exclusive iTunes release.)\r\n\r\nJay Z&amp;apos;s wife not only addressed the crowd and greeted eager shoppers, but left each customer with a holiday gift!\r\nEvery person on site received a $50 Walmart gift card from the global superstar, the store manager told&amp;#xA0;Us. A total of 750 cards ($37,500 worth of gift cards purchased by Bey) were enclosed within envelopes that read, &amp;quot;Happy Holidays from Beyonce.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nAt one point during her visit, Blue Ivy&amp;apos;s mom even held a baby girl and told the little one, &amp;quot;You are beautiful,&amp;quot; as seen in one person&amp;apos;s&amp;#xA0;Instagram video. But baby Blue was clearly on her mommy&amp;apos;s mind: Along with her new album, Beyonce&amp;apos;s shopping cart included a few toys for her 23-month-old daughter.&amp;#xA0;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
