LOS ANGELES, Feb. 23 (UPI) -- A Los Angeles marketing firm has revealed the goodies inside this year's gift bags to Academy Award nominees: $232,000 worth of luxury goods, including $275 toilet paper.
The collection of items, put together by Distinctive Assets, is not sanctioned by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
The gifts to Hollywood elite include trips to Israel and Japan ($55,000 each), a year's worth of Audi car rentals ($45,000), cosmetic and beauty items such as a lifetime supply of Pu-erh Tea Nourishing Cream and Cleansing Bar ($31,200) and even a 10,000-meal donation made in the nominee's name to an animal shelter or rescue of their choice ($6,300).
The companies involved are excited for their products to be included and are advertising the Oscars gift bag on social media showing off their items. "The #OSCARS is around the corner! The #Haze is ready, are you?," Haze Technologies wrote on Twitter alongside their Dual Vaporizer which will be in the bag.
