The EcoLuxe Lounge was created by producer Debbie Durkin to honor television awards show nominees at a luxurious gift lounge where they can relax in style before the ceremony and collect their high-end gifts.

"The nominees who received the BudTrader swag bags represented the best in their industry, and I wanted to show them the best of ours," said McLaughlin. "We succeeded, with the help of some of the most prestigious cannabis brands. The celebrities got totally hooked up, and a lot of them expressed how excited they were to get home and test out all the crazy products we were gifting them. I guess celebs really are just like us because they are excited about cannabis too!"

Included in each of the 300 smell-proof BudTrader duffel bags were innovative and high-end cannabis products and gadgets from some of the most prominent brands in the industry, along with BudTrader hemp t-shirts, hats and other merchandise.
