Every year, the Oscars celebrate the best in film, but for many nominees, the spotlight extends beyond the stage to the legendary “Everyone Wins” nominee gift bag—a six-figure collection of luxury items, experiences, and indulgences.
Independently curated by Distinctive Assets and valued at approximately $350,000, the 2026 gift bag showcases ultra-luxury travel, high-end wellness, beauty, gourmet treats, and cutting-edge lifestyle products. This year’s recipients include Timothée Chalamet, Leonardo DiCaprio, Michael B. Jordan, Emma Stone, and other top actors and directors.
Among the once-in-a-lifetime experiences is a ten-day restorative wellness retreat at Sri Lanka’s Santani, renowned for its holistic luxury, serene landscapes, and bespoke guest programs. Other standout travel experiences include villa stays in Costa Rica, Ibiza, and the Arctic, alongside exclusive wellness programs at Golden Door.
The gift bag also features premium beauty and lifestyle products, such as ArtLipo body-sculpting, Beverly Hills smile makeovers, luxury skincare from Glow Recipe and INSTYTUTUM, Kabuki-inspired luggage, and indulgent gourmet treats like SkinnyDipped dark chocolate bites and Tea Forté’s curated collections.
Distinctive Assets co-founder Lash Fary highlighted the intent behind the extravagant gesture:
"The 'Everyone Wins' gift bag celebrates nominees’ incredible artistry while showcasing small businesses, minority-owned brands, female entrepreneurs, and companies that give back. Win or lose, this is a token of our appreciation."
The inclusion of Santani underscores its position as a world-class wellness destination, placing Sri Lanka firmly on the global luxury travel map and highlighting the island’s potential as a high-end retreat for international visitors.
