Olivier Vernon sure makes for one helluva Santa Claus.
According to a report by Dan Duggan of NJ.com on Friday, the New York Giants defensive end spent over $150,000 on unique Christmas gifts for the entire team: personalized bottles of Louis XIII Cognac. Vernon gifted every one of his teammates and coaches (plus other members of the organization) with a bottle and had each one engraved with the recipient’s name, even provided matching champagne glasses to boot.
ESPN’s Darren Rovell tweeted a sample of the cognac bottles Vernon gifted, which retail for $3,000 each.

It’s a commendable way to spread the wealth and the Christmas cheer after Vernon inked a massive $85 million deal with the team over the offseason. Does it top this fellow NFLer for best Yuletide present of 2016? You decide.
