What VIP Grammys guests took home in their gift bag

Along with the performances and flamboyant red carpet looks, one of the most anticipated parts of the Grammys is the lavish contents of the VIP goodie bags.

And this year’s coveted ‘swag bags’ certainly didn’t disappoint, packed with treats, products and experiences worth over $30,000 (£21,233).

Stars including Beyoncé and Chrissy Teigen were lavished with vouchers for designer jewellery, gift cards for gourmet restaurants, private mixology (cocktail making) classes, VIP airport services, plus quirky health and beauty products worth thousands of dollars.

VIP guests at the 60th Grammy Awards, held at New York’s Madison Square Garden, were also gifted a week-long stay at LA’s Golden Door Spa worth around $8,850 (£6,265), according to Harper’s Bazaar.

And for those suffering the effects of the morning after the night before, there are pampering goodies including a state-of-the-art carboxytherapy treatment mask worth $155 (£100).

The contents of the bags were so heavy this year that they had to be stuffed into duffle bags, Money reports.

Also available in the gift lounge, located inside the NYC venue, is a year’s supply of oxygenating foundation and moisturiser from Oxygenetix, worth around $119 (£84) a bottle, and Polaroid sunglasses.  

Organised by marketing company Distinctive Assets, the goodie bags are a chance for big brands to promote their products by getting them into the hands of influential A-listers.
