Dallas Cowboys cheerleader<\/a><\/span>\u00a0Marissa Phillips pulled off the ultimate surprise by gifting her 40-strong squad with a Dyson Airwrap each \u2013 totaling an eye-watering $24,000.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Marissa began the clip in her home with the huge pile of presents set in front of her\u00a0Christmas<\/a><\/span> tree.<\/p>\n

‘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.<\/p>\n

‘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.<\/p>\n

‘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 fianc\u00e9.’<\/p>\n

Marissa then shared a clip from inside the party and showed the moment her squad opened their impressive gifts.<\/p>\n

With all 40 members sat down with their boxes, Marissa gave a quick speech where she told them that they ‘deserve the world.’<\/p>\n

The sporting star, 24, recorded the sweet gesture on her social media<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Shortly afterwards, the team tore off the red wrapping paper and revealed the pricey hair tool underneath, and naturally, they were shocked.<\/p>\n

Wails of excitement were heard, and one cheerleader cried out, ‘There is absolutely no way.’<\/p>\n

Marissa’s followers were equally stunned by her generosity and commended her for treating her teammates to such a lavish gift.<\/p>\n

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.’<\/p>\n

‘How sweet and generous of you,’ another agreed. ‘Christmas isn’t always about the getting of gifts but the giving of joy.<\/p>\n

‘I’m sure you put a smile on everyone’s face. Thank you for your generous spirit! Happy holidays.’<\/p>\n

A third penned: ‘How beautiful honey. So so sweet.’<\/p>\n

‘The reactions are everything,’ said a fourth.<\/p>\n

\"And<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

And it’s fair to say her 40-strong team were blown away by the luxurious present<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

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.’<\/p>\n

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.’<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

The Dyson Airwrap retails at $599 and rarely goes on sale.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Alongside her surprise video, she wrote: ‘Be right back\u2026 just playing one of Santa’s Elves.<\/p>\n

‘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.’<\/p>\n

Marissa has been a cheerleader for the Dallas Cowboys since August 2022.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

‘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.<\/p>\n

‘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.’<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
