EMMY Consolation Prize

Aug. 31 2010, Published 9:11 a.m. ET

While it’s always an honor just to be nominated, we know even the biggest stars will surely be disappointed if they go home from the 62nd Annual Primetime Emmy Awards empty handed! So a company called Distinctive Assets will once again soften that blow with award-worthy gifts for the non-winning nominees in the eight major acting categories (Outstanding Lead Actor/Actress in a Drama; Outstanding Lead Actor/Actress in a Comedy; Outstanding Supporting Actor/Actress in a Drama; and Outstanding Supporting Actor/Actress in a Comedy).

These consolation gifts will be delivered on August 30, 2010 (the day after the awards telecast of course.)

Here’s some of the stuff that went to the losers :

Altoids SMALLS One-Year Supply: ($70.00) Wm. Wrigley Jr. Company. No comment needed.

Emergen-C BLUE Alacer Corp: ($170.00) One Year supply. A non-caffeinated, naturally energizing* fizzy drink mix that when mixed into 4-6 oz. of water provides a tasty blend of blueberry, blackberry and raspberry flavors and real juice powders. www.emergencblue.com . We live on this.

Ful (pronounced (fuel) Load Runner Duffel: ($120.00) We took this out for a test drive and the inline skate system had us doing wheelies. We also liked the multi-compartment storability and the retractable trolly handle.

Pre-Fenz Botanicals, LLC: Pre-Fenz Botanicals: ($6.99) 24 Hour Hand Sanitizer that is the best protection against bacteria and germs. It’s green, non-toxic, alcohol free, smoothes and softens! www.prefenzbotanicals.com Ok, we tried it and it’s great! Our hands feel soft and smell great and the company says it lasts “through 10 hand washings.” We hope there’s a jumbo size.
