The swag gurus, led by founder Lash Fary, are back with the latest installment of the “Everyone Wins” gift bags to celebrate awards season leading up to Hollywood’s biggest night on March 2. Though not affiliated or associated with the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences, Distinctive Assets doles out gift bags to all 25 nominees in the acting and directing categories, a roster that includes luminaries like Demi More, Zoe Saldaña, Adrien Brody, Sebastian Stan, Cynthia Erivo, Ariana Grande, Kieran Culkin, Guy Pearce, Monica Barbaro, Colman Domingo, Edward Norton, Jeremy Strong, Mikey Madison, James Mangold, Sean Baker, Coralie Fargeat, among others.
“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 Distinctive Assets founder Fary. “This year, on the heels of historically tragic L.A. fires, we have found even more ways that our celebrity swag can do good in our community.”
Inside this year is an offer from disaster recovery specialists Bright Harbor with $1 million worth of “personalized disaster recovery support” to give to more than 300 families affected by the L.A. wildfires. The organization helps those impacted through the recovery process of insurance, government benefits and seeking vendors for remediation, construction and other services. Also featured: Maison Construction’s complimentary home renovation project management from local Los Angeles builder Justin Rezvanipour who is offering a 50 percent discount on services. Each gift can be redeemed for the recipient or redirected to a fire victim.
“Whether they pamper themselves or share these bountiful gifts as a care package for a friend who may have recently lost their home, we give these gifts not based on the recipients’ need but out of a desire to brighten someone’s day and to acknowledge a job well done,” Fary added.
