WBFF Fox 45 :: Fox 17's Stacy McCloud takes us inside the Gift Retreat at the American Country Awards
"We sorta wanted to create a lounge area for celbs to come it's a thank
you from producers to celebs for supporting the show" says lounge
creator Karen Wood.

Welcome to the gift retreat at the ACA's,
where celebrities pick and choose what they want from a variety of high
end products, like custom guitar straps, sunglasses, jewelry, shoes and
designer handbags.

"McFaddens Sisters have these great bags.
Lauren Alaina came in and got one, she got 5 last year and loved more.
Wears them all the time love them" says Wood.

The vendors offer up their products for good reason. If celebrities wear it chances are you will buy it

"For a celebrity to be seen on stage wearing jewelery or guitar straps from Jerry  Hart, that can make a brand" says Wood.

ACA host Kristin Chenoweth was most excited about the custom  size 5 shoes the designers brought in just for her!

"Look at these gonna have another accident if not careful. Size 5 hard to find" says Chenoweth.

Speaking of shoes, check out these!

"Its
a ballet with a sock built in, they fold up and come in a bag so you
can travel with them so when your feet hurt this is your emergency kit"
says the shoes designer.

They are called Balla Sox and were no doubt Stacy's saving grace while she was in Vegas!

These high end items aren't the only thing the stars get to take home - they also get these pre-packaged gift bags

"It's a designer bag with candles, zen dog treats, paintball" says Wood.

But
the gift suite isn't only about receiving, each star that stopped by
signed this fender guitar that will be auctioned off to raise money for
the Red Cross.

"The signatures mean a lot. The more that come in and sign more money they can raise" says Wood. Fox 17's Stacy McCloud takes us inside the Gift Retreat at the American Country Awards
