2010 Oscar Gifting Suites
Just because George Clooney, Penelope Cruz, and Anna Kendrick didn’t win the Oscar last night, that doesn’t mean they went home empty handed. Once again, Distinctive Assets made sure they received the best consolation prize with one of their famous gift baskets, which is valued over $50,000.
They received beauty products that included the Oral-B Pulsonic electric toothbrush to keep their teeth dazzling, La Peau Couture Organic Wrinkle Diminishing Serum, DeLeà Signature Perfume Oil, and AG Hair Cosmetics deluxe haircare gift set. Fashionistas will love the costume jewelry from Millianna, WooLoot waterproof tourmaline sport watches, Ideeli.com special access online shopping cards, and hand-crafted C&C Swedish clogs from The Scandinavian Company.
Once a nominee– always a nominee! So why not further the celebration on a spa getaway to the Acqualina Resort & Spa Miami. They will also be able to enjoy a $7,000 3-night all-inclusive rustic getaway to the Winvian Luxury Hotel in the Litchfield Hills of Connecticut, which 2009 non-winners Ron Howard and Frank Langella redeemed last year, a private island vacation at the Turks & Caicos Sporting Club at Ambergris Clay, and a 5-night stay at Brazil’s UXUA Casa Hotel.
To stay in shape, the nominees received 10 personal training sessions from Huntley Drive Fitness, one week all-inclusive fitness bootcamp from Live In Fitness Enterprise where former Oscar nominee Angela Bassett just finished the Red Carpet Bootcamp Program, Slimware portion-control plates, and Herbalife Nutritional Shake Mix and Best Defense immune booster supplement.
