Inside the Official 56th Annual GRAMMY Gift Lounge backstage at the Staples Center

In my past life I dealt with swag (stuff we all get.) As my career progressed, I swam around the celebrity gift pond pool for a little bit until it became too overwhelming to navigate with a toddler.Recently, I’ve been bitten by the bug again, but not stung where I want to produce an event, but enough where I want to attend the red carpet award gift lounges and write about them.

Decor provided by Bo Tree and Revamp & Revive

Just like all of The JetSet Family readers, I’m curious to see what celebrities show up, what they took a liking to, what they ended up leaving with inside their overflowing duffle bags. Depending on the gift suite, it can be anything from fashion, to beauty, to experience packages, and all expense paid trips to tropical faraway lands. This year? Recipients will be taking home $25,000 worth of goodies.

Neil Patrick Harris with Gramovox

Yesterday, I went backstage at the 56th Annual GRAMMY Gifting Lounge to see what nominees, presenters and performers are snatching up.

The JetSet Family LOVES Rami Jaffee

Best in show

Here is what I happened to go “GaGa” over:

Candy pendants // SIS by Simone I. Smith

While I am head over heels smitten for this yellow gold candy pendant, I cannot stop thinking about a pair of gorgeous rose gold hoop earrings I spotted from GRAMMY host, LL Cool J’s wife’s collection, SIS by Simone I. Smith.

Gramovox // Stream nostalgia with the first bluetooth gramophone

This Gramovox was seriously awesome. It was a piece that I could immediately imagine in my living room and a definite conversation piece. Not only is it the first bluetooth gramophone, but the sound was magnificent. This was a big hit with many of the participants.

SOLSTICE Sunglasses

It’s no secret sunglasses are my accessory of choice. Ever since getting LASIK surgery I have become a sunglass hoarder obsessed with collection any and every pair I can get my hands on. So stumbling across this SOLSTICE Sunglass display of men, women and unisex styles was like a kid being locked in a candy store. I would never have survived.

The iHome bluetooth wireless rechargeable boombox is rad. Over the years, we’ve had multiple iHome products so I was already intrigued; however you cannot ignore this purple awesomeness. It is a fact that JetSet Tot would go b-a-n-a-n-a-s for this baby. (Cardboard for breakdancing not included.)

The ZB Savoy Bowtie Co. // Bowties and pocket scarves

You know what’s cool? Andre 3000 is cool and these babies from The ZB Savoy Bowtie Co. have him written all over them. I’m always a sucker for a classy bowtie; however will you please look at these pocket scarves? I die. Hello, Father’s Day with this modern twist on the classic necktie gift.

Gibson Guitars // Autographed Les Paul

MAJOR PROPS: This is one of two Les Paul guitars that Gibson Guitars had each musician who visited sign to benefit the Gibson Foundation at auction.

Jack Osbourne with ODOYO // Tiffany Rose of WireImage

A very special side note: I would like to personally extend a huge THANK YOU! to Logan from ODOYO, who graciously sent me home with some fab products to try out for my iPhone. A full-review of the items will be coming down the pike; however I took a test run of the Power + Shell EX rechargeable battery case with kickstand and it is AWESOME.
