This year’s Oscars swag is valued at $215,000, up nearly $70,000 from last year’s haul. In terms of pure value, the 24-karat-gold-plated statuette, the most-coveted honor in Hollywood, costs just $400 to make. The value of all 24 bags is $5.2 million—or nearly the domestic box office haul of The Goldfinch, which last year laid a great big egg.
Though Distinctive Assets is not affiliated with the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which presents the Oscars, its lavish gift bags are an award-season tradition. For nearly two decades, marketing company Distinctive Assets has put together The "Everyone Wins" Nominee Gift Bags.
The gift bag includes over 70 experiences and products from false eyelashes to a 12-day cruise valued at $78,190.
The “bag” also includes a bottle of hand-crafted white absinthe, CBD simple syrup, hydrogen-infused water, and an assortment of French macarons. On the more extravagant end, the nominees will receive a bath bomb with 24 karat gold and hyaluronic acid and an amethyst crystal as well as a stay at the Faro Cumplida lighthouse in Spain’s Canary Islands, and at-home cannabis-infused chocolate tasting for eight adults. But the bag also includes a bottle of Rita Ora’s Próspero Tequila, two Exploding Kittens-Exploding Kittens and Throw Throw Burrito games, and a Pepperidge Farm Dark Chocolate Milano two-pack
This is not an official Oscars gift bag, but is sure is extravagantly star-worthy.
