When it comes to the Academy Awards, no expense is spared for the A-list nominees [1]. Whether the stars win or lose, they all get to go home with gifts [2], and this year's offering is all class. The 2018 Oscars gift bag — which is not sanctioned by the Academy but instead provided by LA marketing company Distinctive Assets [3] — is valued at over £70,000 and includes everything from a 12-night trip to Tanzania, to gum rejuvenation surgery [4], not to mention access to a new dating app called NeverMissed, and pepper spray (probably to take on the date with you).
There's even a "phobia relief session" so stars can conquer their fears, and a levitating Bluetooth speaker, because who doesn't need one of those? Check out some highlights from this year's crazy, quirky Oscars gift bag, then see how it stacks up to 2017's [5].
