She even mentioned that she intends to pass the bag down to her son Micah's future wife.

In the comments section, other influencers also expressed their birthday wishes.

On her Instagram Stories, Mongabong also shared how her team at Mongabong Production celebrated her birthday with a bundle of gifts.

The team surprised her with a birthday package, pretending it was a press drop from a public relations company. Inside the bag were fresh vegetables and fruits such as eggplants, oranges, and cherry tomatoes, hinting at a healthier lifestyle.

The birthday card read: "Here's a bunch of healthy food for your birthday because we care for you and we want you to live till you're grey and old."
