Getting an Oscar nomination is already a huge achievement, but nominees don’t just walk away with prestige—they also receive one of the most exclusive and expensive gift bags in the world. As in previous years, Distinctive Assets, the company behind these luxury giveaways (which isn’t officially affiliated with the Academy), has put together an impressive selection once again. This year, the Oscars gift bag is estimated to be worth more than $200,000.

This exclusive gift package is given to the 25 actors, actresses, and directors nominated in major categories. That means stars like Timothée Chalamet, Cynthia Erivo, Demi Moore, Ariana Grande, Coralie Fargeat, Sean Baker, and Mickey Madison are among the lucky recipients.

With the slogan ‘Everyone Wins,’ Distinctive Assets has turned this annual giveaway into a pop culture staple. Every year, the Oscars gift bag grabs headlines—not just for its high-end, extravagant gifts, but also for the surprising and sometimes unusual items inside.

A Gift with a Meaningful Touch

This year, the Oscars gift bag comes with a more thoughtful approach, reflecting the devastating wildfires that have impacted Los Angeles in recent months.

Lash Fary, founder of Distinctive Assets, explained that the idea is to let recipients either ‘treat themselves or share these gifts with someone who may have recently lost their home.’ It’s not about necessity, but rather a gesture to bring joy or recognize someone’s hard work.

What’s Inside the 2025 Oscars Gift Bag?

This year’s gift bag isn’t just about high-end products—it’s also packed with luxury experiences. Of the 200,000 total value, only about $13,000 comes from physical items, while the rest includes exclusive vacations and premium services. Some of the most exclusive gifts include:

Four nights at a luxury resort in the Maldives
Five nights in the beautiful hills of Sri Lanka
A stay at a high-end hotel in Barcelona
A premium set of suitcases and travel bags for stylish trips
Luxury skincare, haircare, and lip care products from top brands
A DNA kit to help nominees explore their family history
Gift cards for movie tickets, gourmet popcorn, and film-inspired merchandise
Body contouring treatments and cannabis products
Tea, scarves, t-shirts, designer handbags, and even stylish pet clothing
A membership to the Hollywood Illuminati—one of the most unusual gifts this year

As always, the full list of gifts is a mystery, since Distinctive Assets never shares all the details. But one thing is clear—whether they win or lose, nominees will have plenty to enjoy while unwinding after Hollywood’s biggest night.
