Tis the season for giving.

Former Chief Wallace Gilberry took that to heart while at a Target store in Kentucky. Gilberry, who is with the Cincinnati Bengals, told a family of seven that he wanted to bless the family. So he let the kids pick out something they wanted.

They chose a PlayStation 4 Star Wars bundle, other video games and a controller. The kids’ mother had kind words for Gilberry, who played for the Chiefs from 2008-2011.

Someone posted this to Instagram about the cool moment:

Just watched Wallace Gilberry of the @cincinnati_bengals buy a young family with a bunch of boys a ps4 and bunch of games at target tonight. The kids and dad were going crazy and the mom was in tears. I was big fan of him before but I'm a even bigger fan now. What a stand up dude. #wallacegilberry #whodey
