On Saturday, June 28th, we popped by a gorgeous estate (the historic former home of Robert Lion Gardiner) on Main Street in East Hampton for the Nature Conservancy's "Beaches & Bay Gala." It was a formal affair with a similarly well-edited gift bag that included:
A Bags on the Run "Going Green" tote, Blue Ocean Institute's "Guide to Ocean Friendly Seafood,” Brooklyn Botanic Garden's "Native Alternatives to Invasive Plants" guide, a J. Crew braided cotton bracelet, The Nature Conservancy's signature golf umbrella and note cards, organic shade-grown Guatemalan coffee, and Shaklee's "Basic H2" cleaning concentrate.
Not to be outdone, Halsey House, that historical house turned museum in Southampton, had their annual gala and bestowed attendees with cotton totes containing:
Arbonne bath and body product samples, Edible East End magazine, a GE compact fluorescent light bulb (courtesy of Herrick Hardware of Southampton), a Halsey House signature cotton tote, a JT Personal Fitness Studio free-session coupon, a Natural Science Organics garden compost sample, a Shaklee super cleaning concentrate sample, and Thompson & Morgan sweet pepper seeds.
And, with so many events, we're even starting to think it might be time to detox. And what better place to do so than at a place that gives you a gift bag? Celebrity trainer Jay Cardiello is hosting one of his "Detox Bootcamps" in East Hampton at the Grey Goose Manor on July 12th (proceeds go to the American Cancer Society). The day includes exercise classes, nutritional seminars, fitness evaluations, massages, and a big duffle bag containing:
A Bluestar Jets baseball cap and $1,000 discount card, a Bodybuilding.com gym bag, t-shirts, and towel, Cell-nique's "Super Green Drink," Dan Dan reversible girl's dress, Money Clothing's "Born Rich" t-shirt, OM Records' music album selection, Yoga+ magazine, a Yoga Tribe & Culture tank top, and Vita Coco coconut water.
And there's more where that came from, Plum has gift bags galore!
