Revealed: Travis Kelce's incredible act for Chiefs teammates makes them think 2025 is his final season
According to a report, many gifts were given out for everyone in Kansas City in a heavy investment before a single snap has been taken outside of training camp.
The gift packages high-end luxury Rolex watches, Louis Vuitton merchandise, and Italian wines, hinting back to Kelce's vacations with girlfriend Taylor Swift to the European country.
Kelce and Mahomes going big in 2025 has signaled to some within the organization that the tight end good be retiring at the end of the season should the Chiefs win the Super Bowl, making his generosity have a purpose, per The Sun.
Each player's individual gift package was valued at $17k, with the total spent by Mahomes and Kelce spiraling well over $1million.
There is also another massive gift that will be provided by Kelce and Mahomes should the Chiefs win their fourth Super Bowl in seven seasons.
Spots in Sardinia and Ibiza have been identified by the dup for a postseason championship trip, with team owners stating they could use the team plane to fly to either glitzy destination, should the Lombardi Trophy return to Missouri.
Included in the preseason gifts were a pair of Rolex watch styles, the Air-King and Explorer, which cost the passer and favorite target more than $600k, as they purchased 80 total pieces.
Kelce and Mahomes also spent nearly $300k on Louis Vuitton backpacks, again, purchasing 80 of them, signaling not only those other 51 players who make the Chiefs final roster are benefitting from playing with the future first-ballot Hall of Famers.
Almost another $100k on Louis Vuitton merchandise including pocket bags.
Mahomes and Kelce were not done running up the bill for their teammates yet, spending $272k on luggage, possibly for when the Chiefs head to Brazil for their season opener against the Los Angeles Chargers on September 5.
Rounding out the insane package was a bottle of Giuseppe Mascarello Monprivato Barolo red wine from Piedmont, Italy. Judging from the $339 per bottle price tag, Kelce and Mahomes opted for the 2020 vintage.
The Chiefs dynasty has seen the team appear in seven straight AFC Championship games and five Super Bowls in that span, winning three championships.
The return on investment may be huge for Kelce and Mahomes if one more Super Bowl is coming in six months time, which will pay back much more than their seven-figure gift haul.

Walmart announces major store shakeup set to transform how customers shop
Walmart is taking its show on the road — literally — with a fleet of new mobile stores. The mobile pop-up stores on wheels will be rolling into parks, festivals, and concerts across America and are designed to appeal to Gen Z. Dubbed 'your FYP on wheels,' the pop-up trucks feature Gen Z-friendly themes like Rodeo Dream, K-Pop Era, and Nature Break. It is a nod to TikTok's 'For You Page' (FYP), the first screen users see when they open the app, filled with algorithm-curated videos tailored to their tastes. Inside, shoppers will find giveaways, merch, photo ops, and immersive experiences designed to go viral — while promoting Walmart's brand as younger, cooler, and social media–savvy. The trucks will crisscross the country now through November, popping up at festivals, marathons, parks, and major events in cities including Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, and New York. Scroll down to see the full list. 'Walmart is hitting the road with a fleet of head-turning delivery trucks, packed with experiences to level up what you love,' the chain said in. 'Whatever you're into — we get it, we have it, and we can deliver it. Who knew?' they added. Walmart, the biggest retailer in the US, has been pushing hard into the e-commerce space, even directly competing with Amazon during its Prime Day sales event this year. Thanks to its aggressive push — including running its event for almost a week and extending its discounts in-store — Walmart outperformed Amazon across several key metrics. Spending on soared 24 percent compared to 2024, Bloomberg data showed — six times faster than Prime Day's year‑over‑year growth. Web traffic told a similar story, with Walmart surging 14 percent while Amazon stayed flat, according to Similarweb. However, some of Walmart's digitization efforts have been met with pushback from the brand's loyal customers. Electronic shelf labels — tiny digital price tags that can change in real time — have become particularly unpopular. The technology is designed to save staff time, reduce paper waste, and allow for easier inventory updates but customers fear sneaky price hikes and vanishing deals. Sam's Club, Walmart's membership discount stores, rolled out AI-powered 'Scan & Go' tech earlier this year. The trucks will stop at major music events, marathon festivals and parks across the country The scanners allow shoppers skip the line and walk straight out the door once they're done shopping. The move is controversial because it uses a network of cameras and sensors to track shoppers and their carts. In addition, the checkout-free experience requires all customers to use a smartphone and download the store's app. This could pose a challenge to older shoppers who may struggle with technology.

Disney fan, 58, who SOBBED at seeing Mickey Mouse opens up about emotional moment: 'I forgot I was an adult'
Meeting their dream character at Disney World can certainly be exciting and even overwhelming for young kids, and it's completely normal for them to get emotional in the moment. But what about adults? One 58-year-old woman recently sparked a conversation about the topic after she broke down in tears while chatting with Mickey Mouse at the beloved theme park. Tracy M Sommer, from Mohawk, New York, was visiting the Happiest Place on Earth with daughter Savannah when they decided to get in line for the Minnie and Mickey meet and greet. As a long time Disney fan she knew the moment would be special, but never expected to get emotional. She told the Daily Mail that as she was waiting for her turn she began remembering her first family vacation to Disney with her own parents decades prior, when she was only 10 years old, and started missing them intensely. Memories of her and her daughters watching Disney movies together when they were younger also came flooding back to her. Upon walking into the room and seeing the characters, she became 'overwhelmed with emotions' and started shedding 'happy tears.' 'When I met Mickey I knew he was not real but for those few minutes every good and painful memory left and I said, 'Thank you Mickey I finally got to meet you,' and I cried,' she said of the moment to the Daily Mail. 'Mickey and Minnie were so comforting with their hugs and gestures. I got caught up in the moment and forgot I was an adult. It was a special healing moment for me.' Afterwards, Savannah took a short video of Tracy reflecting on the moment while on the phone with her husband, John, and uploaded it to her Instagram, where it went viral. 'The magic of Disney at every age. So thankful I got to experience this moment with my momma! Makes me cry still. Thank you @disneyparks,' she captioned it. 'Smiling because moments like this remind me that it's my mom's first time living too,' she added in a text overlay on the video. 'I feel blessed to be a part of it.' In the clip, a clearly emotional Tracy could be heard talking on the phone to her husband. 'I finally met Mickey,' she said between sobs, as he responded, 'Are you crying?' 'A little bit, I know it's stupid that I'm crying, and I'm 58 years old,' Tracy added as she wiped away tears. 'It's not stupid,' Savannah interjected. 'That's the magic of Disney at every age.' Tracy told the Daily Mail that Disney was especially important to her family because her eldest daughter Kaylee became seriously ill as a child and watched a ton of Disney films while she was healing. 'We almost lost her. But Disney helped her heal,' she explained. The video got over 77,000 views and hundreds of Instagram users rushed to the comment section to share their thoughts. Most people were moved by the 'sweet' moment and praised Disney for spreading the magic for people of all ages. In response to those who may judge her emotional response, Tracy pointed out that all adults have 'an inner child.' 'I am sure that some people might think it's immature of me but I am humbled and blessed by the comments of so many who felt the same way,' she said. 'I truly feel every adult has an inner child... The world is a tough place and characters make people happy. Disney will always be special to me.'

You can buy Tom Brady's personal sports memorabilia at this new Wrigley Field shop
Some sports stars transcend the cities that made them famous—Tom Brady, seven-time Super Bowl champion and superstar New England Patriots quarterback, is one such athlete. So even though he's more connected to Boston, he's being heartily welcomed in Chicago thanks to the footballer's new sports memorabilia and trading card company, CardVault by Tom Brady, which just opened across from Wrigley Field. (How's that for foot traffic?) Remember the Chicago Cubs win, you know, the big one—the World Series in 2016 that ended the 108-year curse that cemented the Cubs as the 'lovable losers'? Well, just after that Tom Brady and the 2016 New England Patriots also had a big win—Super Bowl LI, oft called the greatest comeback in NFL history, earning Brady his fifth Super Bowl ring. It's not such a left field (see what we did there?) move, then, to stake a claim in Wrigleyville almost a decade later. Brady, now retired, has thrived in other ventures, from broadcasting to brand partnerships to businesses like CardVault. Located at 1027 W. Addison Street, CardVault is a high-end sports memorabilia and trading card shop located in the perfect place for not only sports fans, but also folks who want to honor the connection of 2016 wins. At the new retailer, you can expect to find single cards, sealed boxes, and packs from top brands like Topps, Panini, and Upper Deck. Brady fans can also check out autographed, authenticated memorabilia including helmets, jerseys and other equipment, as well as special Chicago-themed merchandise. CardVault by Tom Brady will be open Monday to Thursday from 10am to 8pm, Friday and Saturday 10am to 9pm, and Sunday from 10am to 6pm. The Wrigleyville location is the chain's first outside of the East Coast; other outposts include Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, MA; TD Garden, Boston, MA; Foxwoods Resort Casino, CT; American Dream, East Rutherford, NJ; and East Hampton, NY.
