A Microsoft employee has gone viral after sharing a sneak peek at the company’s year-end surprise for employees, offering a glimpse into how the tech giant ended 2025 in celebration.
A video posted on Instagram by an employee named Anuja shows her coming out of the office with a neatly wrapped box in hand. Anuja captioned it, “As I said end of year spirit from Microsoft, and guess what? This is just one of the things we have. There are many more.”
“Microsoft’s year-end spirit is on another level this year,” he says at the start of the clip, setting the tone for what’s to come.
When Anuja opens the box, it initially appears to be a normal corporate gift. Moments later, he reveals what’s inside — a sleek bag on a cart. In addition to the reveal, he explains that while the bag may look ordinary at first, it’s the details that set it apart.
The trolley bag is discreetly branded with the Microsoft logo and name discreetly engraved. Designed with practicality in mind, it also has a dedicated front compartment for laptops, making it a functional travel accessory for professionals.
Anuja noted that the trolley bag was part of a wider series of surprises planned for employees as part of the company’s year-end celebrations.
The video, which garnered over 1,11,000 views on Instagram, quickly gained attention on social media, with many users praising the gift for being thoughtful and useful.
User wrote: “Goodies like that DESERVE an unboxing video.”
However, some Microsoft employees chimed in via comments to say they were still waiting to receive the trolley bag, prompting lighthearted reactions and curiosity online.
“Not everyone at Microsoft has it guys. It depends on the team,” the user wrote on Instagram.
“The other teams don’t get it. And we get rants from our friends about your reel,” revealed another user.
“What, is it team specific? Because I didn’t get any,” a third user shared.
The clip has since contributed to a growing trend of sharing behind-the-scenes moments from workplace celebrations, offering a glimpse into corporate culture at global technology firms.
