In anticipation of the 93rd Oscars®, not only has the city of Los Angeles began preparing for the yearly event which this year will be held Sunday, April 25 at Union Station Los Angeles and at the Dolby Theatre at Hollywood & Highland Center in Hollywood, Distinctive Assets is stepping up its game for its 19thyear. Every year since 2002, Lash Fary, founder and owner of Distinctive Assets, has made it a yearly tradition to give the top Oscar® Nomineesa truly spectacular gift bag. The “Everyone Wins” Nominee Gift Bag will once again be given independently by Distinctive Assets and this year features brands that embrace diversity, inclusion, health and philanthropy.

“While the end result may look at first glance like the same cornucopia of fabulous gifts we always assemble, this year’s contents are particularly special. The companies we are featuring embrace diversity, inclusion, health and philanthropy and are giving back to their communities and the world at large in significant ways,” said Fary.

Win or lose on Hollywood’s biggest night, every nominee in the Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress and Best Director categories is a winner thanks to this bounty of congratulatory gifts with purpose. Credited with catapulting the promotional craze of celebrity swag into a pop culture phenomenon, Distinctive Assets, the LA-based entertainment marketing company, has created some of the most buzzed-about swag in history. This year, it was important to the company to beyond the glitz and glamour (and price tag, just last year, Forbes estimated the value at $225,000) of a special over-the-top swag bag and present a swag bag with a bevy of congratulatory gifts with purpose.

“While this gift bag does, as always, have an impressive six-figure value, that is neither our focus nor goal. A great gift has nothing to do with a price tag,” said Fary. “This year’s ‘Everyone Wins’ gift bag is one of my favorites we have ever assembled because it represents a lot more than just a bag full of free stuff. I am truly excited for the nominees to experience it.”

Below we highlight some of the top items that go beyond the ordinary gift bag.
