Nominee and winners gift bags have become a hugely popular part of awards season with the Golden Globes and the SAG Awards both gifting their A-list talent swag bags.
The Oscars do not have an affiliated bag, but the “Everyone Wins” bags are doled out annually to all 25 nominees in the acting and directing categories, which this year includes Demi Moore, Cynthia Erivo, Ariana Grande, Monica Barbaro and Timothee Chalamet.
“While our gifts may be famous for being fun and fabulous, they also serve as a means to elevate small businesses, minority-owned brands, female entrepreneurs and companies that give back,” said Lash Fary, the owner of Distinctive Assets, the company who curates the annual bags.
“This year, on the heels of the historically tragic LA fires, we have found even more ways that our celebrity swag can do good in our community.”
That means alongside gorgeous skincare products from Miage, DNA kits from Ancestry and stunning trips to Sri Lanka, the bag also gives the talent the chance to give back to their community, with more than $1 million of personalized disaster recovery services from Bright Harbor available to gift to over 300 families affected by the L.A. wildfires.
