What do you think? Is it too much?
Edit: Not all, but just the acting and directing nominees get the gift bag apparently.

Oscar nominees in this year’s major categories will go home with a gift bag worth $200,000, featuring such essential items as a breast lift, sex toy and 15-day walking tour of Japan.
All acting and directing nominees will receive the luxury goodie bag from Los Angeles firm Distinctive Assets, which works with companies hoping to capitalise on the fame of Oscar hopefuls. The bag’s value this year is a record – last year it featured items worth a measly $125,000.
The most expensive inclusion for 2016 is a 10-day first class trip to Israel ($55,000), with that Japanese walking tour coming in at $45,000. The package also features a year’s worth of unlimited Audi car rentals, worth $45,000, and a lifetime supply of Lizora skin creams, worth $31,200. Female nominees will also receive a $250 “arouser” offering “gentle suction and stimulation”.

And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. The most bizarre item on the list clocks in at $1,900 and is something we are apparently referring to as a “Vampire Breast Lift.” What is a Vampire Breast Lift, you ask?
Featured by Cosmopolitan, the new secret “must have” in Hollywood is the Vampire Breast Lift procedure which uses blood-derived growth factors to revive rounder cleavage without implants. Women can now also soften implant scars and irregularities (and restore sensation). Using technology used by plastic surgeons for years to help correct post-mastectomy scarring and to heal wounds, the Vampire Breast Lift procedure uses a woman’s own blood to improve appearance. Designed for zero downtime by Charles Runels, MD - the same physician who invented the Vampire Facelift.
