[Note: I made it out to five gifting suites, or lounges, that celebrated this year\u2019s Emmys. As usual, each gets its own write-up because I don\u2019t want you to miss even one tidbit.\u00a0 This is the first of five, so please make sure to read the next four, as well, to learn about all<\/em> the fabulous-ness.]<\/strong><\/p>\n

For the fourth year in row, Doris Bergman threw her pre-Emmys event in West Hollywood\u2019s famous eatery, Fig & Olive<\/strong>, so, of course, the guests got to eat in style. All day! From the beginning, their signature flatbreads were passed to celebs and sponsors alike. That was followed by a full luncheon buffet of Moroccan chicken with hearty vegetables, cous cous, house salad (which was chockfull of figs and olives, of course!,) and a new shrimp and pasta dish, that was generously doused with truffle oil.<\/p>\n

As usual, before I took even one bite, or greeted one sponsor, I stopped by the table of the suite\u2019s charity, Wednesday\u2019s Child<\/strong>, to leave multiple gifts for young adults in the LA County foster care system. (The reason I bring multiple<\/em> goodies is to make-up for the guests who are less charitably-inclined, even though Doris always makes it quite clear in her invitations that we are asked to do so. How anyone could not participate in such a lovely gift drive, while gathering new ones, is beyond me.) I\u2019m always grateful for the opportunity to give back. www.foxla.com\/wednesdays-child<\/a><\/p>\n

Now, on to the highlights of the gifts!:<\/p>\n

The FootMate System<\/strong>\u2014As a girl who already owns one of the tootsie-savers, I was happy to see them at the suite, so others in Hollywood can get similarly-pampered. It\u2019s a rubber mat that suctions to the shower floor, and features a set of special brushes upon which you easily scrub your feet. I walk barefoot all the time, unless I\u2019m out in public, so it really comes in handy. Often, before I put my shoes on, I just wet it, and then step into the non-running shower to use the brushes for a quick fix. www.gordonbrush.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Dioo Audio<\/strong>\u2014This headphone company launched right at the suite! And I was hpappy to discover, that, finally, there are earbuds specifically for the ladies! The female guests were clamoring for the mouth-watering pastel pink cords. The sound on them is as fabulous as the exterior, too. But the sound on their over-the-ears headphones is even better! I\u2019ll have to get a pair of those for the krump-dancing Mr. X, who\u2019ll be happy to use them to listen to me even less. www.diooaudio.com<\/a><\/p>\n

My Saint, My Hero<\/strong>\u2014Boy, do I need one of their \u201cblessing bracelets\u201d right now! Actually, I could have used every one on their table. But I\u2019m trying to hang in there, and have faith that even that single blessing will work.\u00a0www.mysaintmyhero.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Single Dress and Single Underwear for Men<\/strong>\u2014This display of colorful dresses and tops, which run from casual to elegant, gathered the ladies to it, as usual. Each item is more attractive than the one before it. This time, they were also gifting men\u2019s underwear, and lovely scarves, which always come in handy as Autumn approaches. \u00a0www.singledress.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Real Estate Rules<\/strong><\/em>\u2014Northern California realtor, Debbi DiMaggio, was gifting her new book\u00a0Real Estate Rules<\/em>. There\u2019s one rule for each week of the year, so you don\u2019t need to digest it all once. Clever. \u00a0www.debbidimaggio.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Twisted Silver<\/strong>\u2014I think you all know by now what a fan of jewelry designer Debra Mitchell I am. What\u2019s amazing about her is that every time I see her, she has a massive new collection! Her pieces are never the same, even down to the materials she uses! She lets the guests choose his or her own gift at the suite, but I don\u2019t know how they were able to decide. www.twisted-silver.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Skintech Studios<\/strong>\u2014This Beverly Hills skin care office was offering their Venus Legacy eye lift treatements right on-site (for anyone who wanted to look extra-good for the rest of Emmys week.) The guest could also do it at the office instead, at a later date, if having a treatment in public was not their thing. www.skintechstudios.us<\/a><\/p>\n

Fibrum Virtual Reality Headsets<\/strong>\u2014This wireless virtual reality headset wowed everybody. And, while it\u2019s also compatible with headphones and gamepads, it\u2019s designed to be used with just a smartphone screen! Now agoraphobes have even more<\/em> reason to never leave the house\u2014if they can have this much fun from their own homes, I get it. www.fibrum.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Art Lewin Bespoke<\/strong>\u2014Always one of the most pleasant and popular sponsors at Doris\u2019 events, men\u2019s clothier Art Lewin gifts something different each go-round. This time, it was beautiful and elegant men\u2019s ties, which many of the male guests there can really use–trust me! www.artlewinbespoke.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Pretty Places<\/strong>\u2014These candles are very unfussy and clean-looking. Their labels feature an outline of California, with the name of a famous city in the state. I think that all the guest chose Beverly Hills, don\u2019t you?\u00a0www.shopprettyplaces.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Ein Drink<\/strong>\u2014I\u2019m neither an app person nor an imbiber, so I can\u2019t tell you about this one in-depth, but I\u2019m sure the more social, and technology-oriented, among us will enjoy it. It\u2019s a new app that basically lets you and your pals know where the party is! And what millennial doesn’t want\u00a0that<\/em>?!\u00a0www.eindrink.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Personal Touch Lingerie<\/strong>\u2014They were gifting control undergarments and sexy underwear. I have a feeling you can\u2019t wear both at once, though, so you have to choose your weapon each day.\u00a0www.personaltouchlingerie.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Spongelle<\/strong>\u2014I always enjoy seeing the colorful display of sponges that are infused with body wash for multiple uses. And they gift a different shape each time! www.spongelle.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Andrea Gutierrez Jewelry<\/strong>\u2014This new jeweler to the suites game was gifting a sweet little silver arrow that you can either wear around your neck or just carry in your wallet.\u00a0www.andreagutierrezjewelry.com<\/a><\/p>\n

There are always several real<\/em> celebrities enjoying Doris\u2019 event along with the rest of the VIPs, and this time I was happy to spot Glee<\/em>\u2019s Jane Lynch<\/strong> and the adorable Jason Ritter<\/strong>, whom I\u2019ve (sort-of) known forever. He always puts a big smile on my face. I needed that bit of mirth because I heard that I missed a few Dancing With the Stars<\/em> peeps, which you know made me feel a bit bad.<\/p>\n

All in all, this was yet another very wonderful and satisfying event by the incredible Doris Bergman! Now I can’t wait for her always-fabulous Oscars event!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
