The benefits include increase in energy, hydration and overall sense of vitality, which left the celebrities glowing and red carpet ready.

Wear Your Music was also offering to cover a portion of any purchase made towards a Famous Musician Bracelet (featuring strings from such artists as Jack Johnson, Adam Levine, Ben Harper and Bob Weir) where 100% of all proceeds goes to the Artist’s charity of choice. Erik the Artist was also showcasing original art, and allowing the talent to see what it was like to paint on the medium of plexiglass.

Guests also had a chance to get into the holiday spirit with the 3D Cheeze Photo Booth, where they made interactive 3D photo favors such as magnet frames and luggage tags.

Talent made their way through the GBK Lounge tasting creations from Good Greek Grill, LA's only authentic Greek gyro stand, Sugar and Spyked, the #1 Alcohol Infused Dessert Bar company on the West Coast, and mixologist-inspired cocktails with Tres Papalote Mezcal and Kind of Blue Whiskey from Riviera Imports. HOPii, a home brewing device that brings the freshest taste of craft beers to your home with a touch of a button, was sampling their beer, as well as gifting brewing systems to the celebrities so they can see how easy it is to make craft beer on their own. Artists also had the chance to taste Moraga Vineyards reserve wine, and receive a complimentary wine tasting for four at their Bel Air vineyard. Intelligent Blends coffee was a welcomed pick-me-up after the tasting extravaganza, and the celebs went home with their own single-pod brewer and a variety pack of Mauds Coffee. 

NICA Travel brought Nicaragua to the stars, gifting authentic lifestyle products from their resorts and holding a raffle for a grand prize of a 5-night all-inclusive vacation, and Caribbean Living and Palace Resorts gifted a luxurious vacation to Moon Palace Jamaica, which is a paradise within paradise.

GBK’s lounge also included an array of rugs that tied the rooms together, provided by eSaleRugs.com, and refreshments that included Detox Water, Peaceful Fruits, and Tyku Sake.

The GBK Pre-AMA’s Celebrity Gifting Lounge's main focus this year was their charity component and the organizations that were present to spread the word about their cause. SBP, who’s main mission is to shrink time between disaster and recovery, helped GBK organize the auction aspect of the lounge, where celebrities donated their time to walk the lounge with fans that bid on the experience through SBPusa.org, with all proceeds going towards hurricane relief efforts through Joyce Giraud’s foundation. Joyce and Michael Ohoven's Hope For Children In Need Foundation, is a 501c3 non-profit which builds schools for underprivileged children around the world and gives direct aid to the hurricane victims of Puerto Rico. The Kimberly Moore Foundation was gifting free tickets to celebrities for their “Adopt A Letter Celebrity Poker Christmas Tournament”, which helps answer the letters of thousands of children writing to Santa as a desperate cry for help. The Kimberly Moore Foundation has become one of LA’s most popular Christmas stories on the news each year, answering the letters of over 40,000 children in the community who might not have a Christmas. Route91Strong.org was created in the aftermath of the Las Vegas shooting to provide financial resources to all families impacted and to support families of other tragedies including the Texas church shooting. Two survivors of the Vegas shooting were representing Route91Strong, telling their stories and explaining how this incredible organization will provide help and support now, and in the future.  Route91Strong will be holding a benefit concert at the Avalon Hollywood on January 17th, 2018.
