    So you want to know what’s in each Oscar nominee’s “Swag Bag”?

    Well, to make it worth the effort of getting dressed up and hiding the disappointment of losing from the camera, Oscar nominees get a bag containing thousands of dollars worth of free and extravagant gifts, reports TIME.

    This year, the bag is valued at over $100 000 (R1,18 million) and, as usual, was put together by Distinctive Assets, a “Los Angeles-based marketing company that has given nominees handouts unaffiliated with the Academy for 16 years”.

    But not all nominees get them:

    Only those nominated for acting roles like Timothée Chalamet, Octavia Spencer, Daniel Kaluuya and Meryl Streep, as well as nominees for Best Director like Greta Gerwig and Guillermo del Toro, will receive them.

    So rude.

    Here’s a breakdown of what the bag entails, as well as each gift’s price tag:

    A 12-Night Trip to Zanzibar and Tanzania

    The luxurious trip for two appears to be tailor-made for high-profile actors, with private meals and a private safari guide throughout the journey, according to Distinctive Assets. The nominees and their guests will also be able to go horseback riding, snorkeling, take walking safaris, take chef-guided cooking lessons, and more. Similar trips from International Expeditions cost upwards of $11,300 per person.

    A Week’s Worth of Spa Treatments

    Among the many spa treatments at Golden Door, just one 90-minute deep-tissue massage is $245. And with a week’s worth of spa treatments, that value could skyrocket to more than $1,000.

    23andMe DNA Testing Kit

    The ancestry report kit costs $99, while the ancestry report and health features package costs $199.

    A Six-Night Trip in Hawaii

    A six-night stay at the Koloa Landing Resort at Poipu in Hawaii in a one-bedroom luxury villa would cost around $500 per night, totaling to $3,000 for a six-night trip.

    10 Personal Training Sessions

    Nominees also get 10 personal training sessions with celebrity personal trainer Alexis Seletzky. According to Women’s Health, depending on the trainer, personal training sessions could cost up to $500 per hour. (Seletzky did not respond immediately to a request for comment from MONEY.)

    A Stay at a Luxurious Greek Resort

    One night at Avaton Luxury Villas Resort in Halkidiki, Greece, costs more than $460 per night.

    Colour-Changing Lipstick

    The colour-changing lipstick, sold by New Mexico-based make-up brand Blush & Whimsey, sells for $22.

    But that’s not all! Other highlights include:

    • Chocolatines’ chocolate “Chocouture Jewlery Box,” worth $86
    • Hundreds of dollars worth of Le Cèline false eyelashes
    • My Magic Mud toothpaste, worth $20
    • Access to a new dating app called “NeverMissed” before it launches

    What on earth is Meryl Streep going to do with a dating app?
