The queen of gifting has curated 112 must-have items that are guaranteed to make your holiday shopping infinitely easier. This year’s selection features products from both new and returning brands, with many items coming from small businesses, including women- and family-owned companies from across the United States.
Cozy Comforts And Winter Essentials
When temperatures drop, Oprah knows exactly what we need. The Orolay Women’s Winter Oversized Cropped Puffer Jacket has earned Oprah’s praise for its “bomber jacket style but with a bit more oomph.” Water-resistant and warm down to 14°F, this stylish jacket comes in nine colors and costs less than $100.
For those chilly morning dog walks or evening runs, the rechargeable light-up beanie is a two-in-one wonder. One side features a built-in LED light with a 10-hour battery life, while the other looks like a regular beanie. Simply reverse it based on your needs—perfect for winter outdoor activities or power outages.
Laura Geller’s makeup palettes have also caught Oprah’s eye, featuring three travel-friendly sets with silky-smooth eyeshadows and blushes designed to flatter every skin tone. “The gorgeous colors in these do-it-all palettes are for grown-ups and make it simple to create a pulled-together look in minutes,” Oprah notes.
Practical Gifts That Solve Problems
Some of the most thoughtful gifts are the ones that solve everyday problems. Showerspecs anti-fog reading glasses made the list this year, with Oprah commenting, “File these under ‘I never would’ve thought of that,’ but anyone who’s tried to read deep conditioner instructions after it’s on will appreciate a pair.”
For the home cook obsessed with the smashburger trend, the individual recommends a complete smashburger kit with “a hefty cast-iron press for a sizzling, crispy crust, a shaker for seasoning magic, and a spatula that flips like a dream.” At under $50, it’s an affordable way to bring restaurant-quality burgers home.
The Mosh protein bar multi-pack, created by Maria Shriver and her son Patrick Schwarzenegger, offers brain-healthy snacking in a variety of flavors. These make brilliant stocking stuffers for health-conscious friends and family.
Self-Care And Simple Joys
The best gifts often encourage moments of peace and joy. Oprah’s “The Life You Want” Journal includes five nightly prompts to help users reflect on their day and set intentions for tomorrow. With six months of guided pages, it’s a gift that keeps on giving.
Food lovers will appreciate the gourmet offerings, including a set of hand-twisted Bavarian soft pretzels from Pennsylvania. Simply brush with butter, add salt, and warm in the oven before dunking in original or sweet hot honey mustard.
Starting at just $15, the Melifluos hooded scarf is the most affordable item on Oprah’s list, proving that thoughtful gifts don’t require a celebrity budget. With more than half the items on the list coming from small businesses, shopping Oprah’s Favorite Things this year means supporting entrepreneurs while finding perfect gifts for everyone on your list.
