Oprah’s Favorite Things Are Here — We Think These Are the Only 16 Gifts Worth Buying

"Now, this is a design I haven’t seen before," Oprah says of this crossbody water bottle bag that made her Favorite Things List two years in a row(!). Our editors appreciate that it will hold your bulky water bottle on hikes and walks, and it's even outfitted with a zipper pocket for your phone and keys. Plus, it comes with two different strap options.

This sleek board game set doubles as shelf decor: simply place everything inside the decorative box and put it on display. For $43, you get a chessboard, 32 wooden chess pieces and two fabric pouches to hold all the pawns. GH's Editorial Commerce Director loves these bookshelf games too, and calls them her go-to sentimental gift!

This is the perfect gift for choosy teens this year. “You can keep the bubble-letter charm on the longer 18 karat gold-plated brass chain or remove it and wear it as a choker with the black cord provided," Oprah shares.

These cozy clogs make the perfect gift for just about anyone on your list: they have a fuzzy, faux fur interior to keep feet cozy, plus a stylish knit upper and a slip-resistant rubber sole. Our GH Institute footwear pros love these slippers, plus, Oprah included a different pair of Dearfoams slippers on her 2022 Favorite Things, so it's safe to say she loves this brand.

Decorative drinkware makes an effortless yet always appreciated housewarming gift, and Oprah loves this particular set for its colorful hues and year-round function. "This set of six pretty champagne coupes — in the shape of delicate blossoming flowers — is just one more reason to raise a glass this holiday season. Savvy hosts will serve sorbet or sundaes in them come summer."

Oprah isn't the only one who loves this at-home ice cream machine — our Lab pros at the Good Housekeeping Institute think it's a worthy purchase, too. When we tested the Ninja Creami in the GH Kitchen Appliances Lab, this device impressed our experts with its ability to whip up ice cream, gelato, sorbet, smoothie bowls, milkshakes and slushies.

“You could give a scarf that needs to be arranged just so…or you could choose a faux-fur option that features a hidden slit to get a polished look in seconds flat," Oprah says. In other words, this scarf won't fly off when the wind picks up.

Creative kiddos will love getting to personalize their own sunnies and sunglasses case. Super Smalls made Oprah's Favorite Things list in 2023 with its friendship bracelet set, and apparently Gayle influenced Oprah to add the brand this year, too: "Gayle saw kids having fun with these craft kits, creating their own sunglasses and case. She thinks they’ll be a popular stocking stuffer or Hanukkah gift.”

Any new parent on your list will appreciate this adorable yet functional hooded towel for their little ones. The waffle knit design feels cozy, while the clever magnetic snaps on the sides can help keep the towel in place.

These fragrance-free soaps are specifically designed for sensitive skin types. "After struggling with eczema, the founder launched this business while in college, using what she’d learned to create beautifully packaged handcrafted soaps that are all-natural and soothing for sensitive skin," Oprah says.

Oprah loves a chic accessory — and these stylish square readers have been her go-to in 2024. We love that they come in four different colors and a variety of magnification strengths to meet your needs. Not to mention, they're under $30.

From the maker of our top-tested massage gun, “Give the gift of a tension-relieving massage anytime, anywhere," Oprah says of this percussive therapy device. While she included the Theragun Mini in her 2022 Favorite Things, this full-size device provides even more features like five speed settings and three heat settings for precise treatment. You can even connect it to the Therabody app for step-by-step guidance.

If they can't start their day without a fresh cup of Joe, gift them this variety pack of fair trade coffee from Black-owned brand, Uncharted Coffee. “The Miami-based sisters behind this whole-bean coffee set curated each of the single-origin light, medium and dark roasts from around the world," Oprah says.

If someone on your list just moved into their first home, add this Oprah-approved cookware set to cart. “This collection of five pots and pans comes with lids, a large spoon and a spatula — and will have anyone cooking in no time," Oprah says. We tested GreenPan in our Kitchen Appliances Lab and found that the stylish cookware heats evenly and can gently cook eggs and nicely brown steak alike.

After catching a red-eye flight a few weeks ago, I'm inclined to agree with Oprah on this one: your jet-setting friend will truly appreciate this compact travel pillow. "Unlike other travel pillows, this folds down into a small silicone carrying case to keep it clean while you’re on the go," she says.

“Truff can do no wrong by me, I’ve given the Hot Sauce to a lot of people," Oprah said in 2023. That gifting trend must still be going strong, because she included the brand's new jalapeño lime set on her Favorite Things list this year, too. It comes with two different flavors to flavor your wings, tacos, pizzas and more.
