Gifting with Compassion: The Bad Stuff Hits the 2018 Golden Globes DPA Suite in Style

The 75th Annual Golden Globes three-day gifting suite pre-party was “Badder” than ever

Just days before the 75th Annual Golden Globes were to be held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, a three-day gifting suite event was held just blocks away at the Luxe Rodeo Drive Hotel in Beverly Hills, on January 4th – 6th. Golden Globe presenters and nominees were invited by DPA Group to an experience where there was an overwhelming show of brands that create more than just a product, but actually foster compassion and celebrate community. From food and beverage tastings, jewels, fashions and beauty products, to tech inventions and personal experiences; social justice, environmental consciousness and other philanthropic endeavors were freely promoted and discussed.

The featured non-profit for the 2018 DPA Golden Globes Gifting Suite was a returning favorite Love Light Compassion Foundation. Co-Founder/President, Tracy Appleton and Director of Sales, Lisa Barriere met with many celebrities and influential people to discuss the mission of the foundation to “provide emergency financial assistance to patients and their families undergoing a major medical crisis.”

In hopes of promoting healthy living and decreasing damage to the environment, Barburger’s Mark Turner grilled up his “Impossible Burger” for guests, while Mascarpone Cheesecake by Chef Turok dazzled with a persimmon/strawberry chip and edible gold leaf, polished off by tea drinks from Twinkle Brown Sugar and sweets from Baked by Sha Sha. 

On the naughty party side of the festivities, Maestro Catador Felipe Soto Mares presented his passion project The Bad Stuff Tequila.

There were several other innovators offering sunglasses, books, ice cream, scrubs and candies, so many to mention… The exhibitors at the 2018 pre-Golden Globe DPA Gifting Suite proved that deliciousness, comfort and beauty can elevate the visibility of a good cause and/or longtime passion. And, as it turns out that very same theme took center stage during the subsequent Golden Globes broadcast.
