From High-End Skincare to Cannabis Delights
While the travel experiences and medical procedures make up the bulk of the gift bag’s value, the physical items inside are just as indulgent.
Among them are Chilean wines, luxury pet products worth up to $495, and custom-crafted leather bags designed specifically to store designer shoes.
Nominees will also receive an array of high-end skincare, including facial toners, supplements, and an Arizona-based entrepreneur’s $400 lip balm kit.
Sleep-enhancing devices, gourmet snacks like handcrafted pretzels and artisanal popcorn, and even a set of vegan perfumes add to the eclectic mix of indulgences.
And, of course, in true California fashion, the bag wouldn’t be complete without a nod to the state’s booming cannabis industry.
This year’s nominees will find themselves the recipients of pre-rolled marijuana cigars valued at $194—a small but fitting addition to an already over-the-top haul.
The Business Behind the Bags
Despite their association with the Oscars, these extravagant gift bags aren’t officially tied to the Academy.
Lash Fary, the mastermind behind Distinctive Assets, has turned this annual gifting tradition into a thriving business, offering luxury brands the chance to get their products into the hands of Hollywood’s elite.
While nominees might not all walk away with a golden statuette on Sunday night, one thing is certain—they’ll still leave with a treasure trove of luxury goods that redefine the meaning of an A-list freebie.
