Celebrating Hollywood Baskets 1st Annual Academy Awards Swag Gift Bag. Given to nominees and presenters staying at The Four Seasons Hotel Los Angeles…and to one lucky winner on This Little Parent Stayed Home National Podcast! Tune in LIVE!
Well it’s about time we were treated like ROYALTY!!
For many of us, the mega superstars that walk the red carpet on Oscar Sunday is the only royalty we will ever really know. Where my family lives, in SoCal, Oscar Sunday is practically a holiday. This time of year everyone around us has been scrambling for months to watch the nominated films in time to be able to have their true opinions for the big day. In our younger days, we always had at least 2 or 3 Oscar parties to choose from, and although some of them were black tie optional, the only clear option was the party with the least amount of “talkers”. Because as only the serious Hollywooders know, you don’t make a peep during a Royal Superstar’s speech. It’s just… not…cool.
So when Lisa Gal, a new member of OurMilkMoney.com, superstar mom and owner of Hollywood Baskets, a custom gift basket delivery service, contacted me and told me she was in charge of handing out the Swag Party Favors for the red carpet walkers and presenters themselves… well, I knew that we needed to celebrate. Lisa will be a guest on the show next week, and in honor of Oscar week, she has VERY generously offered to give away one of her Swag Party Favors to a lucky listener of This Little Parent Stayed Home.
For those not familiar with the term SWAG- it stands for “Stuff We All Get”. Love that watch you saw on Clooney? Want to get the same necklace as Charlise? Wonder what was in all those swag bags on the arms of your favorite stars? Small and unknown companies have gotten mega-exposure in years past at the Academy Awards by using a cutting-edge marketing strategy of gifting and pampering celebrities and VIP’s. The baskets themselves, complete with the goodies inside can be worth anywhere from $2000- $50,000. This one is valued at OVER $7,000!!
I don’t know anyone more deserving of that kind of indulgence than the everyday parents of today’s society. The question is…who will the lucky winner be? The most votes wins the Swag Bag and the winner will be announced on the air on Friday, March 5. There is still time to enter and vote.
(Click here to enter) May the best parent win. I am so looking forward to tomorrow’s show!
Kindest Regards,
P.S. What does any of this have to do with our mission to support parents who want to leave their corporate jobs and stay home? Tune into the podcast find out.
Here is that bag of swag!!!
