It’s good to be an Emmy nominee!
TV stars honored at this year’s awards ceremony get to take home an epic swag bag — valued at a staggering $70,000 — containing an African safari, NFT artwork, grill, and more luxurious items that Page. Six exclusive can reveal.
Everyone from Zendaya, nominee for drama series lead for ‘Euphoria’, to Jason Sudeikis, nominee for comedy series lead for ‘Ted Lasso’, can stop by the eBay and GBK Brand Bar Luxury Lounge Angeles this weekend in Los Angeles to to collect their gifts.
“We couldn’t be happier to partner with eBay and Lush Africa Safaris to create this year’s most luxurious lounge, curated with this year’s best gifts,” said Gavin Keilly, CEO of GBK Brand Bar, in a statement. .
The piece de résistance of GBK’s 2022 bag is certainly the contribution of Lush Africa Safaris. The company offers nominees a choice of three to five-day East African safari packages estimated to cost $50,000.
After Africa, Emmy noms can fly to the Caribbean. A favorite destination for Beyoncé and Jay-Z, Casa de Campo Resort and Villas offers a three-night stay at their La Romana, Dominican Republic facility (oceanfront villas start at $1,199 per night).
Meanwhile, Turks and Caicos’ Sailrock Resort offers a three-night stay in one of their $10,000 private villas.
However, it is not only travel accommodations that eBay and GBK account for. They’re giving away $500 gift cards to eBay—allowing nominees to buy whatever they want from the website—while also making sure they’re well-fed.
CORE Foods provides a year’s supply of snacks; Ike’s Love & Sandwiches donates $1,000 in food; Habiza Hummus offers six months of free diving; and Oreo treats visitors to custom cookies created with the company’s OREOiD platform to satisfy any candy cravings.
When stars want to cook for themselves, they can do so with the $1,500 portable gas infrared grill they get from Schwank Grills.
There is also a lot of premium alcohol available. Hollywood’s elite can go wild with El Cristiano Tequila—bottles cost up to $125—a $165 bottle of Hertelendy Vineyards wine and a $500.21 bottle of Cardinal du Four Armagnac Rébellion all in the bag.
Furthermore, guests will leave with an NFT: Hobo Queen Art by River Kinney, described as “a nod to psychedelic art with a modern, surreal pop culture twist to bring a metaphorical and overall ethereal experience to the human eye and mind.” .”
To get rid of the high art level, Emmy noms — along with presenters and more A-list talent, who are welcome at all gifts except the pricey African safari — can recover with a collection of health and wellness goodies.
They’ll get their hands on Calexo’s cannabis-infused Watercolor sparkling water, a one-year subscription to Thin Energy Hydration, and The Rasha, a Base-12 infrasound, scalar morphogenetic meditation machine that promotes the ever elusive state of “Consciousness-Coherence”.
Plus, stars can look and feel their best thanks to SalaHime skincare, which offers its Essence All-In-One Facial Gel made with Human Stem Cells ($150), SuperHigh haircare, and athleisure apparel from Rear Ended, made to accentuate the curves of women.
More fashion and accessory brands that offer swag include Bati Goods, Mander by Karn, and Stephen Silver Fine Jewelry.
Keilly tells Vidak For Congress that several charities close to his heart — including Covenant House California, Creative Coalition and Worthy of Love — will also attend the event “to inform and raise awareness about these incredibly important organizations.”
The LA businessman — whose GBK Productions hosts similar pre-parties to more tentpole events like the Oscars, Golden Globes and Cannes Film Festival — has hosted a succession of high-profile names over the years.
Anthony Anderson, Whoopi Goldberg, Viola Davis, Usher, Serena Williams, Martha Stewart, Miles Teller, Spike Lee, Jamie Foxx and Susan Sarandon, among others, are considered “friends” of the company.
Before Keilly’s 2022 Emmys fete kicks off, he’ll receive the Be Great! Humanitarian Award on Friday at the Marriott Convention Center in Anaheim, California.
The second annual Be Great! Awards honors 20 philanthropists, chosen from over 100 nominations, for their passion, innovation and generous donations. Keilly — who involves nonprofits at all of his events to educate and align celebrities in attendance for every cause — is proud to have raised more than $10 million for more than 50 organizations.
