There’s nothing quite like Emmy weekend in Los Angeles, and this year, Bello Mag had the chance to experience one of the most fun parts of it firsthand: the Official Emmys® Giving Suite™, produced by Distinctive Assets backstage at the 78th Emmy Awards.

Held September 12–14 at Peacock Theater at L.A. LIVE, the Giving Suite brought together an impressive mix of beauty, wellness, fashion, lifestyle, tech, and just-for-fun finds. Created for presenters, performers, nominees, and television VIPs, the experience gives talent a chance to discover some of the brands making waves right now, all while supporting the Television Academy Foundation and its mission to help inspire the next generation of television talent.

Among the VIP guests and celebrities who attended the Giving Suite were Angela Bassett, Constance Zimmer, Joy Sunday, Dale Dickey, Andrew Rannells, Samba Schutte, Kingston Rumi Southwick, Holly Robinson Peete, Jackie Tohn, and Yvette Nicole Brown, adding an extra dose of star power to the backstage experience.

And yes, we got to experience it ourselves and loved discovering all the products!

Beauty, Wellness & Self-Care

The beauty lineup had plenty to explore, from skincare to wellness essentials. Ongredients brought its organic ingredient-focused K-beauty and vegan skincare approach, while RoC Skincare, SkinCeuticals, Danucera, Lanolips, Jennifer Lane Beauty, Garnier, essie, and Dove were among the brands featured in the Emmys Gift Bag.

For those who love a little wellness moment, GLYMATE showcased its dietary supplements, while Helight Sleep offered a little inspiration for better rest. Sauna Société and Beverly Hills Rejuvenation Center also brought that full-body self-care feeling to the experience.

Fashion, Beauty & Everyday Glam

The Giving Suite also had plenty for the fashion and beauty crowd. Out East Eyewear brought stylish eyewear into the mix, while Foot Petals offered a practical red-carpet essential—because even the most glamorous night requires comfortable feet. Slopehill Hair Tools added a little styling power to the lineup, and MARLEYLILLY offered personalized accessories and gifts.

Tech Meets Everyday Life

One of the standout discoveries was RingConn, featuring the Gen 3 premium titanium smart ring, a sleek take on wearable technology that feels right at home alongside a stack of everyday jewelry.

HydroJug also brought its custom-etched, spill-proof Traveler Tumblers, proving that even hydration can get the Hollywood treatment. And for a little extra privacy in our increasingly digital lives, Ironwall by Incogni introduced its privacy concierge and data-removal services.

The Fun Stuff

Of course, a Giving Suite wouldn’t be complete without a few things that simply make you smile. AMOS SWEETS brought its TastySounds musical lollipops and playful candy from Peelerz, while POP MART added its collectible SKULLPANDA Off Mode plush doll pendants.

And then there was Minky Couture, whose original HUGS comfort blanket was basically an invitation to cancel all plans and get cozy.

A Little Luxury

For fragrance lovers, La Proue brought luxury scents inspired by coastal femininity, adding an elegant touch to the experience. Tea Forté, VAHDAM, and Monarch Matcha also offered beautiful ways to elevate everyday rituals, whether that means a quiet cup of tea or a more mindful morning.

The Emmys Gift Bag was packed with even more discoveries, featuring an extensive selection of brands across beauty, fashion, food, wellness, home, and lifestyle—including Alter Eco, Andara by Eraser Queen, Ballet, Bananagrams, Bored Rebel, BUBS, Cann Social Tonics, Danucera, Flaus, Foot Petals, Greens First, Havyn, Motorola, Off We Glow, Quen Imports, Refilled, RoC Skincare, SANAME, ShareAScan, Tea Forté, TruFru, White Rain+, Wild Alaskan Company, and many more.

What makes the Official Emmys® Giving Suite especially meaningful is that the experience goes beyond the gifting. Through its partnership with the Television Academy Foundation, the Giving Suite helps support programs that open doors for emerging television talent, including the Foundation’s Internship Program and College Television Awards. According to Distinctive Assets, the Giving Suite has helped raise more than $1 million for the Foundation to date.

For us, it was a fun opportunity to step inside the Emmy weekend experience, discover new brands, and bring a little bit of that Hollywood magic back to Bello Mag. From beauty and wellness to fashion, tech, snacks, and plenty of unexpected surprises, the Official Emmys® Giving Suite proved that the best gift bags are the ones that leave you with a whole list of new favorites.
