The goodie bag given to Oscar nominees was worth $48,000 in 2013. What was in the bag is bizarre!


The "everyone wins at the Oscars" nominee gift bag is the organizer's way to say "sorry you did not win." It is a goodie bag stuffed with all kinds of gifts and vouchers, ranging in price from a meager $4 to a staggering $12,000.


The items included are unexpected: A six-pack box of Naked Premium Condoms valued at $20 and a $5000 voucher for a 'Vampire face-lift' that involves re-injecting blood platelets into your face. There is also the mere $4 bottle of Windex touch up cleaner, in contrast with the $12,000 stay at Lizard Island.


Then, it gets even more bizarre. There is maple syrup; a self-help book about starting over (ironic, after failing to win an Oscar); candles that look like pastries and confectioneries; chocolatines to the value of $95 and then —because it may be necessary after that—five training sessions with celebrity trainer, Lalo Fuentes. After a session, you may want to puff on the $40 pack of electric cigarettes included in the swag bag.


The value of the goodie bag reached a five year low in 2013. Although the total value of the goodie bag came to about $48,000, one has to wonder if that odd array of gifts can ever make up for not having an Oscar on your mantelpiece.
