Regarding the brands that have been chosen to be part of what is considered “The Ultimate Gift Bag”, Lash Fary, Founder and President of Distinctive Assets said the following:

“While our giveaways are renowned for being fun, fabulous, useful and unique, they also serve a greater purpose. Most of the brands we list come from a diverse and inclusive set of small businesses that benefit significantly from the global exposure the association brings to Hollywood’s biggest night. It’s celebrity marketing with a mission”.

The mission that Fary talks about goes beyond “pampering” the nominees, as it also seeks to create a positive impact on the planet. Another of the goodies in the bag is a peta pillow, with which the campaign against the import of monkeys for laboratories in the United States is supported. As if that weren’t enough, the bag also includes a parcela per participant in Australiathis in order to help the natural conservation of the region.
