Awards season is once again upon us, and it all begins with the 2025 Emmy Awards, where the nominees have an opportunity to score over $25,000 in goodies at the Emmy Awards Giving Suite, which helps support the Television Academy Foundation's mission to provide industry access to students of all backgrounds. These infamous gift bags have become an annual tradition to look forward to at many of the major award shows, and guess what? Many of the products included in the bags are also available to shop online.

To celebrate, I’ve rounded up some of the buzziest finds you can score to feel like your favorite celebrity this Emmy's week. From the editor-tested (and highly rated) TIRTIR foundation ($25) to the HydroJug tumbler ($40) some say is a strong competitor to the beloved Stanley Quencher, these picks are enough for you to make an A-list gift bag of your own.

I, along with three other editors, wanted to see if the TIRTIR Cushion foundation lived up to the hype. Spoiler Alert: It did, as all of us found the coverage to be impeccable and easy to build and blend. The lightweight, natural finish is another call out, as it leaves your skin looking smooth and hydrated. Plus, it's available in a whopping 40 shades. Considering many foundations with this type of quality can easily cost $50 or more, the $25 price tag is definitely on the cheaper side, so this is a no-brainer in my book.

IYCMI, the HydroJug tumbler is the new *it* water bottle of fall 2025, with over 13,000 reviews gushing about its durable design and ability to keep drinks warm and cold for hours—without any spillage. Similar to other tumblers, it has triple-wall stainless-steel insulation, and it comes with a reusable flip straw, along with a comfortable grip handle. One 5-star shopper writes, "This tumbler is amazing, I love it! It fits perfectly in my car's cup holder, and it also keeps my water cold for days!" While the celebs are set to receive an exclusive new design for the event, you have a slew of cute colors to choose from yourself.

Just about every celebrity swears by red light therapy devices these days, so a miniature version is an ingenious pick for an Emmy's gift bag. This one from Helight Sleep isn't for skincare though; inspired by NASA technology, it modulates red light intensity and diffusion to promote deeper, more restful sleep. With a smaller design that makes it easily packable and TSA-friendly, it has so many customers raving that they are waking up most refreshed than they've been in years. Sign me up!

On the hunt for an affordable lip oil? This new volumizing lippie from L'Oreal Paris is right up your alley. Packed with hyaluronic acid and tripeptides, it comes in ten different colors, with a promise to hydrate and plump your lips for 24 hours. Does it live up to that promise? One Amazon buyer says it does, writing in their review, "This lip oil is amazing! It gives my lips a beautiful shine and a natural plump look without any stickiness. The color is gorgeous, and it keeps my lips super hydrated thanks to the hyaluronic acid. It feels luxurious and lasts for hours. Definitely a must-have in my makeup bag!" Hey, even A-listers can't resist a classic drugstore brand.

As we approach sniffle season, you might want to make the small investment in this propolis throat spray from Beekeeper's Naturals, which features polyphenols and flavonoids, alongside vitamin C, iron and B vitamins to soothe scratchy throats and support your immune system. Over 4,000 people have given it a 5-star rating, so I wouldn't wast any time picking up this two-pack up while it's on sale.

Want a red carpet-worthy smile? Revamp your oral health routine with this Flaus electric flosser starter kit. It comes with a nifty electric flosser (which vibrates at three speeds to really get in between teeth while remaining gentle on your gums), 45 mint recyclable floss heads, a charging base and USB-C charging cable. The flosser itself is cordless, compact, waterproof *and* dentist-approved. "I absolutely love my Flaus! It is so much easier in hard-to-reach areas, as I still have all my wisdom teeth," says one shopper, who adds, "This is the only thing that has been able to work for me."

Hugimals has quickly become known for its line of weighted stuffed animals that are meant to relieve stress and offer comfort. Sawyer the Sloth is a part of the brand's new Hugaround collection, and he is designed specifically to bring a sense of grounding to people of all ages (yes, adults too). Sawyer is both microwave-safe and freezer-friendly (so you can warm him up for extra coziness or cool him to offer some calming refreshment), and obviously super cute, making him the perfect gift to yourself or somebody else who can use a fuzzy hug.

A well-known favorite of The Morning Show star Jennifer Aniston (who puts it in her go-to smoothie), this viral collagen/protein powder is packed with 20 grams of collagen to help support hair, skin and nail health. Over 57,000 people have given it a 5-star rating on Amazon, with some even saying they've seen a decrease in their joint pain as well. One shopper writes, "Huge difference in my hair, nails and joints. I normally don't fall into the 'celebrity uses this so it must be good' sales pitch, but this stuff is AMAZING! My joints would pop and ache, and now they feel great!" IDK about you, but I'm stocking up.

If you love settling in with a fancy cup of tea in the fall and winter, look no further than this assortment from Tea Forté, which has ten pyramid tea infusers filled with delicious flavors like African solstice, black currant and ginger lemongrass. You'll get the chance to sample each blend, and if you like them enough, you can buy each individually. Sounds like a good deal right?

I'll admit, I'm not the biggest fan of bar soaps, as I prefer liquid formulas. Word on the street, however, is that this organic goat milk soap from Legend's Creek is a game-changer—especially for those of us with sensitive skin. Per the brand, it's packed with fatty acids and probiotics that hydrate and balance your skin, with the lactic acid, in particular, helping to removing dead skin cells. "I’ve been using this soap about a week and I’m waiting for another order that’s coming today, because now I don’t ever want to run out. I have psoriasis and sensitive skin as well. This soap has made a noticeable improvement in only one week," one buyer states excitedly in their review, and as a psoriasis sufferer myself, I think I need to grab this set ASAP.
