Better Bets: Celebrating 25 Years of Grammy Gift Magic

Distinctive Assets 25th Year

Dua Lipa, Billie Eilish, and Olivia Rodrigo are just a few of music’s biggest names scheduled to perform at the 66th annual Grammy Awards on February 4th. This year will mark the 25th year that the official Grammy Gift Lounge and Presenter and Performer Gift Bag will be produced by the LA-based marketing company Distinctive Assets in partnership with the Recording Academy.

Distinctive Assets founder, Lash Fary, is a legend in the world of promotional gifting. He is the self-described “Sultan of Swag” and is credited with turning the celebrity gift bag into a modern-day sensation. “It has been a privilege and honor to have been a small part of Music’s Biggest Night® for 25 years,” says Fary.

“I believe our gifts are well received because they range from functional to fabulous while embracing inclusivity and philanthropy. Our signature GRAMMY Gifts have become an anticipated perk for talent, and I’m particularly excited to share what we’ve curated this year.”

Brownie Points

This Ohio-based bakery claims to “bake the most brownie flavors on earth.” The owners, sisters-in-law, are both named Lisa, and they quit their day jobs because they were “brownie obsessed“ and wanted to bake full-time. Now, they ship their delicious creations all over the country. Their diverse and ever-changing flavors include fun ingredients like guava, cayenne, and waffle cones.

Helight

Turn on the Helight Sleep device when you go to bed and it emits pure red light that gradually fades out. The light triggers a biological response that allows your body to naturally wind down, promoting more profound, more restful sleep. The device is small, portable, and has a USB rechargeable battery, which is perfect for travel.
