In honor of the annual Golden Globe Awards, held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel on Sunday, several gifting suites popped up all over town, giving celebs the opportunity to check out some new products and take home plenty of goodies.
Suites -- or lounges as they are sometimes known -- varied in themes. Some were more beauty-centric, offering manicures and blow-outs. Others were geared towards specific celebrities, like parents and their children. Others were a mix of both. Most were tied to charities with donations taken at the door.
While it's impossible to attend all of them as most occurred on Friday and Saturday before the Globes, below is a sampling:
