Gifts for celebrities at Bask-It-Style 2023 gift lounge!

Enjoying wine from Rueda, Spain at the Bask-It-Style Gifting Lounge in the Fairmont Royal York.

When it comes to big events like the Toronto International Film Festival, you can bet there will be plenty of gifting lounges for the celebrities. Bask-It-Style provided one of the best, at the Fairmont Royal York Hotel, with 12 sponsors and so many luxury products the guests will need extra suitcases to bring it all home.

DavidsTea - Celebrities received a DavidsTea Perfect Mug with a stainless steel infuser that fits right into it, plus a lid that doubles as a plate for your infuser, as well as a box of caffeine-free Valerian Nights Herbal Infusian Tisane with Calming Caramel and Coconut.

OPI - OPI provided a nail polish area where guests could have their nails done with the latest OPI colors.

Rueda wines - Several white wines from Rueda, Spain were offered for tasting, before each guest could choose a bottle of their own to take home. See the photos below for all the different types of wine that were available.

Philips Sonicare - Two different products were offered to keep teeth clean, without putting gums at risk of receding. The Power Toothbrush with SenseIQ comes with a charging travel case. It has angled bristles to help remove up to 20x more plaque even in hard-to-reach areas and the SenseIQ technology senses pressure, motion, coverage and more up to 100 times per second, which adapts the intensity if you push too hard. The Cordless Power Flosser with 2 flossing modes and 3 intensities has a unique X-shaped Quad Stream tip that separates flow into 4 water jets, which cover more area between teeth and along the gum line for a faster, deeper clean without the hassle of string floss.

Marc Anthony - These products were used in the salon area of the gifting lounge by professional hair stylists before each guest received a bag of the products. Guests could have their hair styled with either Marc Anthony's Strictly Curls Define & Hold Flex Gel or Marc Anthony's Repair Bond Defrizzing Smoothing Cream with +Rescuplex™ Bond Rescue Technology. Then before the final blow out, a few drops of Repair Bond Leave-in Treatment for Dry Damaged Hair was added, leaving hair feeling soft.

St. Tropez - If you'd like to have a nice even tan without exposing your skin to the sun, St. Tropez offered two different self-tanning products — St. Tropez Self Tan Classic Bronzing Mousse for the body and St. Tropez Bronzing Water Face Mist for natural glowing skin.

Victoria Beckham - Guests had the opportunity to try out the glasses to see which ones suited the the best — and they are all incredibly flattering! The line also offers frames for prescription glasses.
