We are so excited about the amazing products that were included in our 2018 gift bags! From gift cards to jewelry, our VIP Passholder gift bags were filled with some truly amazing items.

The Barton & Gray Mariners Club, who kindly provide yacht rides to our VIPs during the Festival, gave us sunglasses and Govino go anywhere wine glasses to make our outings even more enjoyable.
We had some amazing skincare and beauty products in our bags this year, including the innovative Super Power Sunscreen Mousse from Supergoop! for the best protection under the sun. Swiss brand Valmont cosmetics, whose medical grade skincare line you can find at the DELAMAR Spa, treated everyone to a sample of their best-selling Prime Renewing Pack, while Earthen gave us their gentle but effective InstantPeel Exfoliant. theBalm Cosmetics donated their very water resistant Scuba Mascara, and Sephora Greenwich and Lola & Leone had us luxuriating in blissful fragrances.

We had some delicious gourmet dark chocolate from the Italian purveyors of coffee, tea and cacao, Filicori Zecchini, located right here in Greenwich, as well mason jars of the legendary Manny’s Ultimate Bloody Maria mix for some of our top donors. We all enjoyed quenching our thirst with electrolyte infused, purified and pH balanced water from LIFEWTR, whose design conscious and creative bottles inspired – and hydrated! – us all Festival long.

Morgan, a pen from Americares, and notebooks from LIFEWTR and CT Office of Film, TV, and Digital Media.
