Sex Toys, Hawaiian Getaways, and Botox Treatments: Inside This Year’s $10,000 Golden Globes Swag Bag
In case their multimillion-dollar paychecks weren’t enough, the stars of last night’s 76th annual Golden Globe Awards went home with a swag bag worth almost $10,000. The gifts inside are curated by Secret Room Events, “Hollywood’s Choice for Celebrity Product Placement,” according to its website. The bags, which are not officially affiliated with the Golden Globes, were handed out at a celebrity gifting suite, ahead of last night’s show and were only offered to nominees. Golden Globe Award winners Rami Malek and Patricia Arquette are said to have swung by the suite.
The most expensive item doled out for free was a seven-night vacation to Hawaii courtesy of American Luxury Tours, according to Forbes. For Tinseltown’s busier celebs, a short two-night stay at the Estancia La Jolla Hotel and Spa offered a quick escape from Hollywood, including complimentary massages.

Other gifts included Nuvelon Bluetooth speakers, spa products from Copper & Crane, organic and vegan-friendly products from Baroque & Rose, and even … ahem … a sex toy from Lelo, in case A-listers are feeling frisky on their Hawaiian getaway. The massive tote bags included gifts from over 30 brands.
