Don't be fooled by the rustic vibe of this year's Academy Awards nominees gift basket. While the coveted offering does include a few affordably refined treats to match its artisanal aesthetic (a VOLUSPA Classic Maison Candle, Bouchon Bakery macarons), the crate does include some super-pricey swag.

Delivered to each of the best actress and best supporting actress nominees, Kerstin Florian International Skincare's annual crate is valued at nearly $5,000. It includes a deluxe stay for two at the Montage Hotel Beverly Hills (because even celebrities need a break from their beautiful mansions), a bottle of Ruinart's Blanc de Blanc champagne, and a custom pair of LA's Sama Eyewear sunnies that they're calling "paparazzi free" because of how opaque they are.

Stars also get a luscious Kashwére robe and slipper set, and mineral-based makeup from Youngblood. Everyone's a winner!
