Jan. 28 2015, Updated 2:09 p.m. ET
It's all glitz and glam at the Grammys tonight, but in the hectic days of pre-production celebs descend upon Staples Center to work on their performances and presenter duties. Distinctive Assets, an LA-based entertainment marketing company, offers these A-listers a luxury respite backstage with their Grammy Gift Lounge, a quiet spot where they can pick up some seriously cool swag (often before it even hits the market).
OK! hit up the VIP spot to check out the goods and take in some star gazing of our own (Steven Tyler, Lance Bass and Macy Gray were all in the house while we were there) and now we're sharing the finds with you.

How do you impress the level of star power walking through this room? "What’s exciting for the presenters and performers who are coming through, the truth is no amount of money they have can buy some of the things in the lounge right now," says Distinctive Assets founder Lash Fary. "The MTG products aren’t available for sale yet in the United States. Gramovox won’t be available until May. The toys and the robots from Wowwee are not available until May. That’s kind of what I was looking for this year. We try to hook them up with stuff that’s not on the market yet."

It's a tough call on who's cuter—Austin Mahone or those Elektrokidz by Wowwee, music-inspired figurines whose hair dances to the beat of your favorite music. You need to see them jam to Austin's, "Mmm Yeah."

Everyone was raving over the Gramovox, the world’s first bluetooth gramophone, including Steven Tyler. "To have that vintage Gramophone that streams bluetooth music...everyone who has come through here has responded to it," says Lash. "I think they would have taken off anyway but I think this is going to spearhead that."
