Although not everyone wins the Oscars, the gift bags for the nominees ensures that “everyone wins”, or at the very least, they take away assets worth an impressively humble $225,000 (£174,000).

The gift bag, which is not affiliated with the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, will be sent to all 20 acting nominees and the five men nominated for best director, Distinctive Assets, the Los Angeles-based niche marketing company behind the goodie bags, said on Friday. Due to not being affiliated with the Oscars, Distinctive Assets has creative freedom with the contents of the gift bag, leaning wellness heavy this year.

The wellness highlights include:

  • A 12-day luxury all-inclusive yacht trip thought to be worth around £60,000 onboard the Scenic Eclipse, home to Senses Spa.

  • Hydrogen-infused water from Hfactor.

  • A Royal Crown Chakra Bath Bomb, featuring 24-karat gold amethyst with organic hyaluronic acid from Hotsy Totsy Haus.

  • CBD simple syrup, available in blueberry lavender, elderflower, and vanilla from CBD Barkeep.

  • A 10-session personal training package with Alexis Seletzky, a Los Angeles-based trainer.

  • Hemp balm mixed with CBD and essential oils from SHEbd.

  • Cosmetic treatments and rejuvenation procedures including lip fillers and chemical peels from Manhattan-based doctor Konstantin Vasyukevich.
