Distinctive Assets — the L.A.-based entertainment marketing company founded by Lash Fary and credited for hosting the official Grammy Awardsbackstage gifting lounge — makes sure that there are no sore losers at the end of awards season.
The company distributes “Everyone Wins” nominee gift bags to 25 lucky nominees from the acting and directing categories (though the effort is not affiliated with the Academy in any way), including stars like Michael B. Jordan, Timothee Chalamet, Emma Stone, Jessie Buckley, Teyana Taylor, Rose Byrne, Elle Fanning, Jacob Elordi and more. The gifts are “in no way based on need,” Fary is quick to point out, adding that they simply want to add a little pizzazz to the times.
“We are acknowledging these amazing nominees while elevating and showcasing small businesses, minority-owned brands, female entrepreneurs and companies that give back at a time when everyone can use a little more fun and frivolity,” said Fary.
That “fun” is estimated at around $350,000 in value as the bags are filled with a variety of luxe vacations, pricey products and makeover services like smile upgrades and body-sculpting liposuction. Per Fary, more than $200,000 of the value comes from trips including one offer for a luxury Costa Rican villa experience from Essence of Dreams.
“The ‘Everyone Wins’ Gift Bag has become known as the ultimate consolation prize. Win or lose, the nominees have touched our lives with their incredible performances and artistry. This is a small token of our esteem that we hope will be enjoyed and shared,” offered Fary.
