If you are Nathalie Dubois, and run the DPA Lounge, a high-end
gifting suite at the Cannes Film Festival, the answer is, among other
things, reversible jeans by Bleulab, stretch leather fashion by Pascal
Piveteau, organic eyelash nourishment from Padina, and nine nights of
free lodging at three exclusive resorts in and around Bora Bora.
If you are one of five lucky celebrities, you also get a Jean Richard watch that retails for about $6,000.

Stone gets one too if she comes. I haven't figured out who gets the

There will be no shortage of celebs to choose from.
Dubois first set up shop in Cannes in 2005. Born in France, but a Los
Angeles resident for the past 26 years, ("I told my mother I am more
American now than French, she was so upset") Dubois said was the first
to bring the Hollywood gifting craze overseas.
To make sure
celebs will show up, Dubois hand delivers 500 RSVP cards in April after
she has a good idea which stars will be coming in for the festival. She
then gathers brands she thinks the rich and famous will want to see,
and brands who want to up their celebrity quotient.
Pascal
Piveteau, designer of the eponymous stretchy leather line, recently
left 20 years running a big time fashion house to start his own line.
His first fashion show was this January at Hong Kong Fashion Week. He
sees Dubois' suite at Cannes as the perfect opportunity to take his
brand recognition to the next level.
"I would be proud to start a relationship with movie stars," he told us. "So I can share my passion with them."

Gavin Keilly, the owner of GBK PR, set up his gifting suite inside a
celebrity pampering palace in Cannes called Hollywood Boudoir. There,
along with a five-day all expenses paid vacation at the Sparkling Hill
Resort (owned by the king of sparkle, Swarovski), one of a kind Renee
by Renee jewelry, and a year’s supply of Gold Collagen, which claims to
reduce skin aging one bottle at a time, celebs can also get free

Kong based L'Exclusif offers free hair and makeup, while Wear It My Way
stylists from Los Angeles have racks of dresses for stars like Petra
Nemcova, Emma Roberts, and Eva Longoria to wear on the red carpet.Do

So
why do brands like these – we saw about 40-50 at these two suites
alone -- pay companies like DPA and GBK big bucks for the opportunity
to give their products away to some of the few people rich enough to
actually buy them?
"You can't pay Justin Timberlake what it
would cost to endorse your $1,000 watch. It would cost what, half a
million?" Keilly said. "So if you can gift him your watch, and he is
photographed and seen wearing it. That is priceless."
Keilly
acknowledged that giving expensive gifts to well-off celebs does sound a
little … off. “The rich get richer, right?” he said. To help
counteract that, Keilly says he gives 20 percent of all profits to
charity.Shop wholesale silicone bracelet Usb Flash Drive from cheap.
"We have given over $2 million since I started the company," he told us. "It's important that we give back."
One
of his gifting partners, the nonprofit liver cancer group HOPE,
agrees. The founder, Suzanne Lindley, a cancer survivor, wants to spread
her message that those with cancer can never give up. One way she
thought to do that is to offer celebrities a free Kindle if they send
her a photo of themselves with her signature word “HOPE” written in the
sand.
