Oprah's Favorite Things List Is Chock-Full of Holiday Gift Ideas — Shop Our Favorites
In our minds, the holiday season doesn't officially start until Oprah delivers her trusted annual gift guide. Lucky for us, the star wasted no time stamping her cosign on the year's most coveted products with her highly anticipated Oprah's 2024 Favorite Things list.
Much like 2023's gift guide, this year's list focused on highlighting BIPOC-, women-, or veteran-founded companies. There's a bevy of genius gift ideas for everyone in your life, whether it's an ambitious woman, tech-obsessed guy, or notoriously picky kiddo. In fact, the official guide features designated sections that organize each product by its respective category, including stylish gifts, skin-care gifts, and even self-care gifts.
The majority of the gifts featured on Oprah's annual list are from small businesses, so you can feel good about your purchase. And the items are wide ranging; you'll discover everything from cozy pajamas and cool cooking gadgets to yummy skin-care essentials and travel accessories that have Oprah's seal of approval — plus a few that are vetted by our editors, too. Best of all: everything is available on Amazon, with prices starting as low as $11.
We know the struggles of shopping for last-minute gifts, so get ahead of it this year to make for a stress-free holiday season. These presents will sell out in a matter of days, so purchase them while you can. (We currently have the whipped body butter, popcorn maker, and poncho towel in our shopping carts as we speak.) Check out all of our top selects from her list of goodies ahead.

Editor Quote: "The Therabody Theragun Prime Plus massage gun feels surprisingly lightweight and sleek. I have an early model of another type of percussive massage gun on the market, and it's bulky and large by comparison. I like the ergonomic, triangular shape of the Theragun Prime Plus, which makes it easy to change your grip when targeting certain areas without triggering any pain in the wrist, forearm, or shoulder girdle." — Jade Esmerelda, former staff writer, Health and Fitness
