Every year the most glamorous night in Hollywood comes with an unofficial side event. It happens when the nominees who do not take home an Oscar realize they are leaving with something else extraordinary.
Welcome to the 2026 “Everyone Wins” nominee gift bag, a wildly lavish collection of travel experiences, beauty treatments, luxury products, and gourmet indulgences valued at roughly $350,000.
The gift bags are curated by Los Angeles marketing firm Distinctive Assets and presented to the top acting and directing nominees attending the Academy Awards. The 98th Academy Awards ceremony will take place at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles and will be hosted by Conan O’Brien.
Each year the bag doubles as a showcase for emerging luxury brands, global travel destinations, wellness innovators, and lifestyle companies eager to place their products in the hands of Hollywood’s elite. The 2026 edition might be one of the most eclectic collections yet.
Here is a closer look at the brands behind this year’s most talked-about gift bag.
GUNAS
One of the fashion highlights inside the bag is a vegan handbag from GUNAS, a luxury accessories brand built on ethical principles.
Founded in New York in 2009 by designer Sugandh Agrawal, GUNAS has become one of the most recognized names in vegan luxury fashion. The brand was created to prove that high-end accessories could be stylish and sophisticated without relying on animal products.
GUNAS handbags are crafted using innovative materials that replicate the look and feel of leather while remaining completely cruelty-free. The company is also known for its strong stance on sustainability and ethical manufacturing.

PETA’s Cavi-art
Also appearing in the bag is Cavi-art, a plant-based caviar alternative championed by PETA.
Cavi-art is made from seaweed and delivers the texture and flavor profile of traditional caviar without using fish eggs. The product was developed to offer a cruelty-free option for gourmet cuisine while highlighting the environmental impact of traditional caviar production.
PETA’s involvement in the gift bag reflects a broader cultural shift toward plant-based food innovations and sustainable dining.
Danucera and Rescue Spa
One of the most coveted beauty experiences in the bag is the Danucera Sculpt and Lift facial offered at Rescue Spa.
