This year at Oscars, ‘everyone wins’. All thanks to a six-figure luxury gift bag curated by marketing company Distinctive Assets. Let us know how much the bags are worth and which nominees get one
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has nominated 25 actors and filmmakers for five of its most prestigious awards this year, but they will not all walk away with a gold trophy. They are, however, confirmed a selection of 53 things, experiences, and trips curated and offered by marketing firm Distinctive Assets.
Will Smith, Kristen Stewart, Nicole Kidman, and Andrew Garfield may pick their favourites from around $140,000 in presents delivered to their homes this week–a $65,000 decrease from the value of the goods in last year's Gift Bag. This year's major themes include wellness, environmental friendliness, and diversity.
The celebrity gifting experts unveiled what’s inside their 140,000 dollars luxurious bag on their official Instagram handle. They are calling it an “Everyone Wins gift bag."
The bag comprises things, services, and experiences ranging in price from 50,000 dollars to 9 dollars. According to the news websites, celebrities will be required to select a few services or experiences from the most costly items in the bag. Other goods can be carried with them. Despite its opulence, the bag exemplifies this year's Oscar theme of "health, eco-friendliness, and diversity."
In an interview with Forbes, the founder of Distinctive Assets, Lash Fary, disclosed their idea of designing this expensive goody bag. He said, “I feel like, despite all of the bad news in the world, it’s an important form of self-preservation and self-care to also carve out a little time for the fun, fabulous and frivolous, and the gift bag certainly falls in that category."
