The swag bag that the 2018 Oscar nominees will receive this year is reportedly worth around $100,000, but what's in it?

Throughout the years, the nominees have been given a plethora of different items in the "Everybody Wins" bag.

For example, in 2016 the Oscar swag bag included a Vampire breast lift, a 10-day VIP trip to Israel, a 15-day private walking tour of Japan, laser treatments at 740 Park MD, a Haze vaporizer, and a Nuelle Fiera vibrator.

The swag bags are not technically given out by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, due to tax reasons. Rather, they use a group known as Distinctive Assets to put together the giveaways.
