In case you didn't know, at many award shows and events, celebrities have the opportunity to visit a "gifting" suite. At these gifting suites, celebrities can get free shit, usually in exchange for a picture with a product.
Because I'm obsessed with this genre of celebrity photo, here are some of my favorite pictures of celebs posing with shit so they can get it for free, specifically from the early 2000s:
