The Oscar swag bags are given to 25 nominees in the top categories each year. The bags are often stuffed with goodies, worth thousands of dollars, trips, pricy spa treatments, and more, which surely renews the deal even if you don’t go home with a statuette on the big night. Oscar 2020's gift bag is reported to worth more than $100,000.

While many of the items are certainly over-the-top, there are actually a few affordable home items you’ll want to snag yourself. As stated by Apartment Therapy, these are the pocket-friendly gifts that are added in the Oscar swag bags.
