This is what will be inside this year’s Oscar goodie bags

It's not just a statuette they'll be taking home...

It’s a strange thought – Ryan Gosling, Meryl Streep and George Clooney rummaging excitedly through a bag of freebies. Yet, every year, that’s what happens – as the Oscars see a goodie bag worth thousands of pounds given to each nominee and presenter.

In 2016, the cream of Hollywood received a whole host of gifts – including everything from a fabulously mundane chapstick to a once-in-a-lifetime $54,000 walking tour of Japan. Gadgets and sex toys also made the list, as did designer clothes – on which nominees who fell short of gongs could inevitably dry their tears.

So, with big shoes – or should that be goodie bags? – to fill, we turn our attention to what will be lurking in the Oscar gift bags of 2017. This year’s selection is looking as weird and wonderful and as random, as ever – so here are our pick of the best.

Where a deluxe 4 bedroom Ocean View penthouse costs $14,500 a week.

One of the only smart home systems that doesn’t require a smart phone. Also – it was crowd-funded.

One of the stranger inclusions in this year’s goodie bags are adhesive and super absorbent under arm sweat patches – perfect for those nervous about their nomination.

Quite simply, priceless. Literally, this is so private we can’t even put a price on it – and that’s definitely the level of privacy A-listers love.

Because any old plonk won’t do for an Oscar-winner.

It may not be as odd as the sweat patches, but these non-GMO apples are both environmentally-friendly and incredibly healthy – two of the hottest traits in Hollywood.
