Content creator Felicity Shiru has marked her 27th birthday with a striking new set of wheels. Photos shared by the influencer show her celebrating alongside a white Mercedes-Benz GLA, dressed up for the occasion with flowers and balloons.
Sharing the moment with her followers, Shiru kept her caption short and sweet.
“27 with new blessings ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️”
The post drew an outpouring of love in the comments section. Page nairobi_gossip_club simply wrote “Congratulations 🤎🤍”, while follower _.just_michelle gushed, “Congratulations 🥳🤎❤️ I’m so happy for you ❤️.”
Another follower, dr.lindamuthoni, added her own message of celebration.
“Congratulations 🎉🥂🎊🪅. Love this for you 🤍🤍🤍.”
A car dressed for the occasion
The Mercedes-Benz GLA sits gleaming in white across the photos, its bonnet turned into a display of its own. A giant bouquet of deep red roses, wrapped in white ruffled paper and finished with a bow, rests across the front of the car.
Beside the roses, a clear bubble balloon printed with “Love!” and pink butterflies floats above smaller red and pink balloons. Tucked among the decorations is a small iced birthday cake, boxed in clear plastic and tied with a red ribbon.
Shiru poses in a long purple gown, leaning against the bonnet in one shot and cradling the rose bouquet in another, the car key nestled between the blooms.
Behind the wheel
One photo captures her seated inside the GLA, sunroof open above her, laughing as she holds up the key fob. The cabin shows a leather-trimmed interior with a two-tone brown and black finish, a flat-bottomed steering wheel with paddle controls, and a digital display screen mounted on the dashboard.
Vehicle specs
The Mercedes-Benz GLA is the brand’s entry-level luxury SUV, positioned below the larger GLC in its compact crossover range.
In Kenya, the GLA is a popular choice among younger professionals seeking a compact luxury SUV. Prices for the model vary considerably depending on year, trim and import status, with used imports typically ranging from around Sh2.7 million upwards, and newer models through official dealers commanding significantly more.
A milestone moment
Whether the car was a self-bought treat or a gift from someone close to her remains unclear, as Shiru’s caption made no mention of who was behind the surprise.
Either way, the images capture a joyful, well-decorated celebration to mark her 27th year.
