Hilarious: Adele left shop staff stunned when she bought out an entire stock of greetings cards bearing her image at the Peter Jones store in London's Sloane Square on Wednesday
The card features an image of Adele in a black dress and the words 'Hello, it's me...', the lyrics of her record-breaking 2016 comeback single Hello.
A source told The Sun: 'Adele walked right up to the shelf and took the lot. She found it hilarious.
'The staff couldn’t believe she was in there, let alone her choice of purchase. She said she was going to send them to all her friends.'
In its first 24 hours, Adele's video for Hello got 27.7 million views on Vevo, knocking the previous record holder — Taylor Swift's Bad Blood — out of place, and sold 1.1 million downloads in its first week.

South London born Adele's story is one of staggering success.
Raised by a single mother, Adele graduated from the BRIT school for Performing Arts & Technology in Croydon in May 2006, where she was a classmate of Leona Lewis and Jessie J.
Her 2008, first album, 19, became an instant success, and sold over a million copies.
Since then, Adele has gone from strength to strength, and holds 18 Grammy award gongs.
The musician recently confirmed she had secretly married Simon Konecki, the father of her son, Angelo, four, and currently resides with her family in East Grinstead, West Sussex.

Earlier this month, the couple snapped up an 18th Century manor house nestling in 48 acres – giving them plenty of space in which to bring up their son.
A source told the Mail On Sunday: 'Adele doesn’t want to live with fellow celebrities in Chipping Norton or Primrose Hill.
'She has deliberately chosen the least showbiz place she can think of so she can live a normal, unflashy existence.’
One or two of the star’s elderly neighbours do not even know who she is. One told said: 'I wouldn’t know Adele if she fell in my pudding.'
Adele is currently on a break from her world tour, where she has performed halfway across the world in Australia and New Zealand.
