In case the Oscar nominees don't win one of the coveted awards Sunday, they always have a swag bag to take home.
For the past 11 years, Distinctive Assets has put together a consolation bag full of "goodies" for the Oscar losers called the "Everyone Wins at the Oscars Nominee Gift Bag."
This year's bag is estimated to be valued between $45-$48,000, a five-year low according to Bloomberg.
And, it's full of some odd items ranging from condoms to Windex.
Mind you, some of the inclusions are quite pricey — stars receive a three night $3,000 stay at the St. Regis Punta Mita and a $12,000 trip to an Australia location of their choosing.
A six-pack box of Naked brand condoms valued at $20.
$120 worth of maple syrup from Rouge Maple Gourmet Products, which is supposedly the "best you've ever tasted."
A $30 photo-essay book following the day Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. gave his historic "I Have A Dream" speech.
The book is "This is the Day: The March on Washington"
A $4 bottle of Windex Touch-Up Cleaner.
$80 Bracelets that can also be used as hair ties.
A $5,000 "Vampire Facelift" procedure that involves re-injecting blood platelets into your face to trigger stem cells to grow new skin and rid of wrinkles.
This is how the procedure is explained: "combines the sciences of hyaluronic acid fillers, blood derived growth factors, and the mathematics of beauty to provide a custom designer procedure."
A $24 book about starting over, to cope with your Oscar loss.
The book is "Take 2: Your Guide to Happy Endings and New Beginnings" by Leeza Gibbons.
Here's the description: "This is a book about rebooting your story at any point. It’s about starting over; taking inventory; and getting smarter, stronger, and sexier with no apologies, no regrets, and no turning back."
