Preps for Academy Awards (Oscars) GBK Gift Lounge

Wow!  January seems to have flown by so quickly!  I've been neck deep in preparing for the upcoming 2012 Oscars/Academy Awards GBK Gift Lounge in association with The Artisan Group, in honor of the nominees and presenters of the 84th Annual Academy Awards (Oscars), taking place February 24-25, 2012 at The W Hotel in Hollywood, California.

Valerie and Nikki, founder and partner of The Artisan Group, have really been fabulous and have made quite an impression with the media and celebrities.  Be sure and check out the awesome galleries of celeb photos taken at the recent Emmys and Golden Globes.

In addition to the 100 gifts for the celebrities, we have our product display that will be featured at the table of The Artisan Group at the gift lounge.

2012 Academy Awards (Oscars) Display at GBK Gift Lounge

The Oscars display was the easy part.  I found an adorable vintage travel case once used for makeup and/or jewelry from the 1950s.  The green tone was a perfect compliment to our green and white labels and logo.

Next came the gifts.  Giving just one of our products to all the celebs just didn't seem right, so I decided to gift some of everything, including some new products we've created.

Here are some snapshots of the gift boxes as they are being prepared for shipping.

All the celebrities will receive our Rapid Remedy Lip Balm, along with another one of our products. The boxes and our display shipped out last week and arrived safely in California, ready to be transported to The Artisan Group's table at the GBK Gift Lounge!

There are about 40 artisans contributing to The Artisan Group gift bag for a total value of about $1,300!  Wow!  You can see a few that I blogged about last November.  Feel free to check out the online version of The Artisan Group's official Oscars Event Guide, and stay tuned for updates from this prestigious event!
