A Gift That Sparked a Celebration

Kunle wasn’t much of a drinker, but he knew his boss, Mr Ade, had a taste for fine spirits. With the office Christmas party around the corner, Kunle wanted to show appreciation for a year of mentorship and guidance. 

Scrolling through an online store, he weighed his options. The high-budget spirits looked tempting—imagine gifting a bottle of Hennessy Paradis or Martell XO! But when he saw the price tags, he laughed and muttered, “I no go use salary buy drink o.” 

Then his eyes landed on E & J VS Cognac, going for just ₦8,000. It was classy, and affordable, and would still make an impression. He added it to his cart and even found a sleek gift bag to pair with it. 

At the party, Kunle handed the gift to Mr. Ade, unsure of how it would be received. To his surprise, Mr. Ade’s face lit up. “Ah, E & J! You know this was my first bottle of cognac as a young man?” he said with a smile. 

What started as a small gesture turned into a memorable moment. Mr Ade opened the bottle right there, poured everyone a glass, and led a toast to hard work, gratitude, and the joy of the season. 

A thoughtful gift doesn’t have to break the bank. Sometimes, it’s about the memories it creates.
