Whether naughty or nice, some of today’s hottest celebrities were treated to incredible gifts at the official H&M Artist Gift Lounge, produced by On 3 Productions. Held backstage on December 11th at the historic Madison Square Garden in New York City, the H&M Artist Gift Lounge was part of the celebration for Z100’s Jingle Ball 2009. With so many A List celebs at the gift lounge, even Santa wouldn’t be able to resist staying up late to catch a glimpse of Taylor Swift or Adam Lambert.
H&M
At the heart of the On 3 Production festivities was H&M (www.hm.com) as they handed celebrities an H&M $500 Gift card and H&M VIP Shopping Pass. Ugly Betty star Mark Indelicato wasn’t incognito when it came to his H&M loyalty as he boasted, “I wear my favorite grey H&M cardigan everyday”. Dancing With the Stars winner Kym Johnson’s feet were itching to step out and find an H&M. Kym said, “I’m going to H&M right now to buy hats and scarves, I’m not used to this cold!” H&M also put smiles on the faces of American Idol favorite Jordin Sparks and Gossip Girl’s Leighton Meester when they discovered the fashion forward thinkers at H&M had created custom Christmas stockings with their names on them.
WONKA Sugar Confections
Esteemed guests at the H&M Artist Gift Lounge were treated by WONKA (www.wonka.com) to an exclusive WONKA Purple Card! The special card entitled stars to a year’s worth of sweet, one of a kind candy treats. Orianthi from Michael Jackson’s This Is It revealed “I love throwing parties and my friends love WONKA candy”. Justin Beiber was a man on a mission as he grabbed up as much WONKA candy as he could. Jordin Sparks picked up the WONKA Everlasting Gobstoppers to snack on in her dressing room.

“I love Moroccanoil, I have it in my bag,” said Lambert. Lambert’s favorite thing about Moroccanoil is, as he says “The fragrance, so sweet”!

With Christmas approaching 5 Gum was also in a charitable mood as they donated $1,000 to the Food Bank of NYC on behalf of the star who came closest to guessing the number of 5 Gum sticks in a jar. No stranger to competition, Jordin Sparks emerged as the winner and was excited at the chance to give back. 30 Rock Star Judah Friedlander said “I will use the Solstice flavor 5 gum before kissing scenes; it’s common courtesy, right”? Adam Young of Owl City joked (we hope) “I’ve never kissed a girl, but now I’m ready”.
