Dallas Cowboys cheerleader Marissa Phillips pulled off the ultimate surprise by gifting her 40-strong squad with a Dyson Airwrap each – totaling an eye-watering $24,000.
The sporting star, 24, recorded the sweet gesture in a video shared on her social media, which revealed the exact moment her team unwrapped their new luxury hair tool in unison.
Marissa began the clip in her home with the huge pile of presents set in front of her Christmas tree.
‘I am giving these away to my best friends tonight so come along with me as I pull off the best surprise ever,’ she gushed.
‘It’s kind of hard to get 40 girls in the same room at once, so we have a Christmas party tonight and my idea was surprising them all with [the Airwraps] after the Christmas Party, so I’m gonna have them all set up [and] arranged.
‘They have their names on them, and we wrapped them all, so yes, I did wrap 40 individual boxes with the help of my lovely fiancé.’
Marissa then shared a clip from inside the party and showed the moment her squad opened their impressive gifts.
With all 40 members sat down with their boxes, Marissa gave a quick speech where she told them that they ‘deserve the world.’
Shortly afterwards, the team tore off the red wrapping paper and revealed the pricey hair tool underneath, and naturally, they were shocked.
Wails of excitement were heard, and one cheerleader cried out, ‘There is absolutely no way.’
Marissa’s followers were equally stunned by her generosity and commended her for treating her teammates to such a lavish gift.
Taking to the comments, one wrote: ‘Wow… you are so sweet… what a great surprise and how generous of you…y ou will be blessed tenfold.’
‘How sweet and generous of you,’ another agreed. ‘Christmas isn’t always about the getting of gifts but the giving of joy.
‘I’m sure you put a smile on everyone’s face. Thank you for your generous spirit! Happy holidays.’
A third penned: ‘How beautiful honey. So so sweet.’
‘The reactions are everything,’ said a fourth.
A fifth added: ‘You have a beautiful heart Marissa, thank you for always spreading love and kindness. You deserve all the happiness in the world.’
Designed to transform lacklustre hair in an instant, the Dyson Airwrap Multi-Styler & Dryer is the true original does-it-all hair tool, allowing you to curl, shape, smooth and hide fly-aways in one – and fans say it makes their hairstyles ‘last all day.’
It comes with six attachments: a Coanda Smoothing Dryer, Firm Smoothing Brush, Soft Smoothing Brush, Round Volumizer, a 1.6′ Barrel, and a 1.2′ barrel.
The Dyson Airwrap retails at $599 and rarely goes on sale.
It appears as though Marissa might have received a little helping hand from her friends at Dyson for the stunt, however, as she made sure to thank the brand in her caption on Instagram.
Alongside her surprise video, she wrote: ‘Be right back… just playing one of Santa’s Elves.
‘Huge thank you to @dysonbeauty and @dysonusa for helping me pull of the biggest surprise to the girls who deserve it most! All the love.’
Marissa has been a cheerleader for the Dallas Cowboys since August 2022.
She announced that she’d joined the squad in an Instagram post at the time, alongside a photo in which she held up her new uniform from inside her dressing room.
‘I am truly so thankful for this process, the lessons I’ve learned, the memories and the friends I have made and for the many more amazing experiences to come,’ she said at the time.
‘Thank you to everyone who helped me through the process, I am so excited and can’t wait for this season! Let’s go, Cowboys.’
