The most expensive and the most surprisingly cheap items in the Emmys 2026 gift bags
Celebs get a cryptocurrency storage device… and a Bananagrams game?
The 2026 Emmy awards ceremony is on Monday 14th September. After presenting each other with gold-plated trophies, the celebrities also receive about $28,000 of gift bag goodies. Here’s a closer look at what’s actually inside the 2026 Emmys gift bags. Some items are as ludicrously expensive as you’d expect, but some are actually kind of cheap. One skincare produce in the bag is available in UK supermarkets for £4.99.
Wait, who at the Emmys will get a gift bag?
80 gift bags will go to people presenting Emmy awards, people nominated for awards, and the guest performers (because of course, the super famous and rich people get the most free stuff). They can also access the mysterious Giving Suite, where brands pay a small fortune to rent a spot, and celebs can acquire more goodies. The lucky guests can get about $14,000 of stuff from the Giving Suite, then another $14,000 of stuff in the bag.

The gift bag contains some very expensive items
According to Hello, the gift bags contain voucher for a Cell Factors IV session and a longevity consultation at the boujie Beverly Hills Rejuvenation Centre. This would usually cost $1,800. Celebs get access to a “life strategy app” called The Seed App along with coaching sessions from Cynthia Occelli, which are apparently worth $10,000.
If the celebrities get bored of watching the Emmys (and who could blame them?) they could utilise their new Motorola Moto Buds 2 Plus headphones. They’re purple, with Swarovski crystals. Sure. You can buy these ear buds for £130.00.
Oh, and there’s a Flaus Electric Flosser. That is a gadget that flosses teeth for you, at up to 18,000 sonic vibrations per minute. I am not making this up. You can buy one off Amazon for £126.50.
The most dystopian item in the 2026 gift bag might be a $222 Ballet Gold Edition cold storage wallet for cryptocurrency. Clearly, I’m not rich enough to understand what that is. The item is finished with 24K gold plate, because why not?

Some items in the Emmys gift bag are super random (and surprisingly cheap)
You’d expect a gift bag at the Emmys to contain spenny skincare products and luxury matcha. But some items on the list are shockingly normal.
According to USA Today, the gift bags contain Garnier Micellar Vitamin C Cleansing Water (which costs £4.99 in high street shops and supermarkets) and Essie nail varnishes. Even the extra-fancy “gel couture” Essie varnishes cost £11.99.
The gift bags also feature trüfrü’s freeze-dried fruit snacks – which you can get a 200g bag of from supermarkets for £6.00.
To top it all off, the celebrities will also receive a Bananagrams game, which is surely the only thing in this gift bag actually worth having. You could buy it for £9.99 in a high street toy shop, though.
