Want to give Mom her new favorite gift this Mother’s Day?
You might look to movie stars or members of the monarchy for inspiration — but when it comes to picking the perfect present, Oprah Winfrey’s established herself as a particular expert.
Year after year, the entertainment mogul’s “Favorite Things” become overnight sensations, making them ideal present picks for any in-the-know mom.
Below, shop gifts from a selection of the star’s go-to brands, ranging from cozy Spanx staples to a cute way to stash a cellphone.
Plenty of Oprah’s wardrobe is likely thanks to Spanx, as the former talk show host has included several of its styles — including pants from the Perfect Collection and this luxe loungewear — on her famed “Favorite Things” lists over the years.
“When I tell you this set feels light as air, I’m not kidding,” the star wrote of these AirEssentials styles in 2022. “It’s my new leisure suit. The perfectly loose-and-lightweight fabric is like buttah!”
Looking for another gift idea to keep in your back pocket? Try this compressive legging style — made of 79% recycled plastic bottles — which also landed on last year’s list. The activewear label is also a hit among stars like Mindy Kaling and Ariana Grande.
If it’s a new robe Mom’s been dreaming of, this cozy style staple just might do the trick. Oprah called it “yummy-feeling” on her 2021 list, while stars like Khloé Kardashian and Hailey Bieber have both praised the brand’s equally snuggly blankets.
This stylish phone holder just might be calling Mom’s name. While many stars love the brand’s JW Pei Gabbi Bag ($80) — which made our roundup of the best celeb-approved Mother’s Day presents — Oprah can’t get enough of this sling style.
“This crossbody makes life easier. It fits most phones, has slots for credit cards, and comes in cheery colors,” she wrote on her 2022 roundup.
If mom’s riveted by celebrity fashion, scoop up a style from Rivet Utility. Oprah wore the brand’s wares on Instagram several times (in addition to including this jumpsuit on her 2022 list), while Demi Moore and Gwyneth Paltrow are also fans.
Oprah praised a previous version of this hydrating formula on her “Ultimate Favorite Things List” in 2010, proclaiming it “hands down the best moisturizer I’ve ever used.”
The media mogul recently made an appearance at an Anastasia Beverly Hills event, posing for photos alongside fellow brand fans like Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Lopez.
If Mom’s eyeing the company’s products too, its signature retractable brow pencil is a favorite among shoppers, having racked up over 15,000 reviews on Sephora alone.
Give Mom superstar-approved sparkle with hoop earrings from Janis Savitt, which made Winfrey’s list in 2019.
“I think these just might persuade Gayle to finally get her ears pierced,” she wrote at the time.
Blend fashion and function with Oprah’s “favorite” lenses. “I often pick my glasses to match my outfit, and these specs are terrific,” she wrote on her 2022 roundup.
Slip a comfy surprise into Mom’s gift bag with this fluffy footwear, which became an Oprah “favorite” in 2017.
