The Icing on the Cake
The fun didn’t stop there. We had several requests for Thomas to try on the pint-sized shirt, and being the good sport that he is, Thomas obliged. He even suited up in his full ice hockey gear for the challenge. The result was nothing short of hilarious—Thomas could barely get the shirt over his head!
You can watch the whole episode unfold in this TikTok video.
It’s a great reminder that even in the most serious of work environments, a little humour and lightheartedness can go a long way.
Behind the Scenes: How It Happened
It all started with the best of intentions. Our team wanted to surprise Thomas with a gift that reflected his passion for ice hockey. However, in the rush of birthday preparations, a tiny mistake led to a giant laugh. "We wanted to get something special for Thomas, and what better than a personalised ice hockey shirt? But when it arrived, we realised it was more suited for a 10-year-old!" said Sara.
Employee Reactions
The reactions from the team were priceless. "I couldn’t stop laughing when I saw Thomas holding that tiny shirt," recalled our marketing co-ordinator. "And when he actually tried it on with his full gear—it was comedy gold!"
