With the holidays on the way, plenty of products scored spots on Oprah’s nice list this year.
The media mogul dropped her famed “Favorite Things” roundup Wednesday, featuring over 100 products ranging from luxury beauty sets to ultrasoft sweatshirts and pajamas for the whole family.
And while Winfrey’s a billionaire, not all of her gifting favorites will cost you a bundle; we’ve scoured her packed list for the best under-$50 finds, ideal for stuffing stockings come December.
Read on to explore (and shop) 25 standouts, from cozy clothing that’s landed on the list twice to pint-sized presents for furry friends.
Several picks on this year’s list do double duty, including this vegan leather makeup bag Oprah says “savvy folks” transform into a “going out bag” by cinching it.
Check a stocking stuffer off your list with these checkered gloves, which come in three colors and feature an index fingertip that works on touchscreens.
Oprah’s long had her eye on glasses from Peepers, and this year is no different. The brand landed on the list yet again with these stylish readers, which are also designed to block blue light.
“These readers look so great that Gayle wore a pair to the Beyoncé concert,” Winfrey raved.
The concert-ready glasses aren’t the only pick Gayle King inspired, as this multi-purpose hydrating stick was developed by her makeup artist.
“A nutrient-dense shea butter? Sure. In a stick format? Absolutely!” Winfrey wrote.
Ayesha Curry’s brand, Sweet July, also made the cut for this year’s coveted list, thanks to these 100% cotton towels Oprah loves. (“She recommends the darker colors for evening and removing makeup and the lighter ones for morning,” Winfrey wrote of the star.)
Winfrey’s beauty arsenal also includes this shea butter-packed stick for adding a buildable “sheer wash of color” to lips and cheeks
“Some days I need to do full glam — other days, a one-and-done stick like this can be a lifesaver,” the media mogul wrote.
For a cozy spin on classic holiday pajamas, Winfrey spotlighted these cute, photo-ready family sweatshirts
This bath bomb set brings new meaning to “home for the holidays” thanks to its cute box, which Oprah said “needs only a bow to be put under the tree.”
“This delightful dollhouse bath bomb set for kids has dreamy scents and tiny surprises inside,” she added.
“This hand-poured candle was created just for us and gives off a lush rose scent, with elements of sandalwood and clove,” Winfrey wrote of this New York-based brand’s Purple Love votive.
Don’t forget furry family members this season. While Oprah’s previously praised Dock & Bay makeup removers, this year she highlighted its dog towel, which she says dries “twice as fast as the cotton variety.”
With winter on the way, ’tis the season for hydrating those hands. Winfrey called this luxe lotion set “ideal for a friend facing a long January,” adding, “Chicago winters, I remember you!”
Jessica Alba’s HonestBaby brand landed on the list for the second year in a row with this organic cotton pajama set made for the whole family.
Another gift Oprah’s practically bubbling over with excitement about? This bubble bath set from her longtime beauty go-to.
“I chose a Lollia bubble bath — my absolute favorite — two decades ago, and I still have the original bottle by my tub,” wrote Winfrey, noting that this version is “just as luxurious.”
Unlike standard sun hats, this one features a satin lining aimed at avoiding “hat-head,” as Oprah writes.
While stars like Hailey Bieber and the Kardashians swear by Barefoot Dreams blankets, Oprah opted for these “blissfully soft” socks from the same brand.
Looking to take a (literal) page out of Oprah’s book? She wrote that she “worked on every page” of this purpose journal, which she’ll be leading an online class about in the new year.
For book lovers, there’s also Oprah’s The Life You Want Book Journal ($30), which has space to list your “best and next” reads.
Make things merry and bright with this light-up beanie set for kids. In addition to this bold blue, it also comes in equally eye-catching orange, red and purple.
Whether your giftee swears by morning joe or afternoon tea, these double-walled mugs are designed to keep it “warm to the very last drop,” per Winfrey.
Sweater weather means cozy clothing — and, in Oprah’s book, body butter from Cozy Earth’s skincare brand. She said the hydrating formula feels like “a light veil of cashmere on your skin — and works really well on hands, elbows and feet.”
Puzzled about what to buy for holiday gift season? Consider this gift, which Oprah said is “is just complicated enough and … features a work by Detroit-based artist Jamea Richmond-Edwards.”
It even comes with a tube of glue, so you can frame your masterpiece once it’s complete.
Priced at under $35, this lightweight shacket (a shirt-and-jacket hybrid) is “just the thing for anyone who loves the great outdoors,” per Oprah.
Jumpstart your holiday gifting with a set of Oprah-approved, ethically-sourced coffee, roasted in small batches in Oakland, Calif.
While tumblers are having a moment on TikTok right now, Oprah’s love for Corkcicle’s colorful cups goes all the way back to 2012, when she first highlighted its drinkware on her list.
“This year, it has a brand-new cup, with a ceramic straw, that comes in 19 colors and keeps drinks cold for up to 12 hours (or hot for five),” she wrote.
For a slam-dunk present pick for kids, Oprah’s children’s gift section includes this cute basketball meant to “remind players that life is about growth, not perfection.”
If a pizza party with friends and family sounds like a slice of heaven, consider picking up a one-and-done cooking set like this Bella Cucina pick.
“There’s enough dough mix and slow-cooked sauce for two pizzas,” Oprah wrote, noting it could be cooked in the Ooni Pizza Oven ($999), also on her list.
