We looked inside the $200,000 Oscar swag bag, and it's as bizarre as it sounds by Paul Schrodt on Feb 28, 2016, 2:42 PM Advertisement
 The biggest stars at the Oscars also get the biggest freebies. At the 2016 Academy Awards Sunday night, the acting and directing nominees alone will each receive a gift bag worth over $200,000. If you think that's stunning, check what's in it: a procedure known as the "vampire breast lift," a vaporizer (which should delight Leonardo DiCaprio), and very expensive toilet paper. It should also be said that because of the size of the items, the recipients would have to pay thousands in taxes if they enjoy them (they could also donate them to charity). Distinctive Assets, the company that puts together the gift bags, known as "Everyone Wins" prizes, sent Business Insider a sampling of what the nominees will find in their bags. Here's a close-up look at what we saw: SEE ALSO: Old Oscar photos that show you how glamorous Hollywood used to be The most curious item is the gift certificate for a "vampire breast lift" worth $1,900. Dr. Charles Runels will use your own blood to, supposedly, rejuvenate your breasts and stimulate cleavage by placing the plasma from the blood directly on the skin.  Youtube Embed:

These could prove useful for the nominees right away, especially if they make it up to the podium: Dandi patches ($21) that absorb your underarm sweat to keep you looking dry. 
Don't worry, these aren't just any M&M's. These $300 Personalized My M&M's come with messages on the chocolates reminding you that you are an Oscar nominee with every bite.
