If there’s one thing Oprah knows, it’s how to stay stylish and classy. We can see it in the bevy of homes in her real estate portfolio, as well as her evolving sense of style that only seems to get better with age. 

This year, the Oprah Favorite Things list will test your determination when it comes to staying within budget. There are so many wonderful items, it might be difficult to say no, especially when plenty of them are priced right. Let’s take a quick look at the history of this holiday tradition and then start browsing! 

What is Oprah Favorite Things List?

Going all the way back to the 90s, Oprah’s Favorite Things was a festive segment she used to run on the Oprah Winfrey Show. It used to air during Thanksgiving Week, right when everyone was excited to kickstart their holiday shopping. 

Even though she’s moved on to print media and a successful production company, she still blesses her fans with a moment of joy. And we’re pleased to say the Oprah Favorite Things in 2024 may be her best one yet. It’s innovative, stylish, and fun – and it covers every facet of life from fashion, to beauty, to home decor.  

Having been in the game for so long, have you ever wondered how old is Oprah? In January, she will turn 71, continuing in a new decade of life as she shares her wisdom with her devoted fans. A quick review of some of the best Oprah Winfrey quotes reveals her sage insights. Do you remember when she said, “Challenges are gifts that force us to search for a new center of gravity?” 

If anyone you know has had a challenging 2024, you can encourage them with that sentiment as you gift them with any number of high-quality gifts from the Oprah 2024 wishlist. Below, we’ve selected ten items that are sure to make everything merry and bright.

Have you been enjoying a Downton Abbey rerun-a-thon lately? If so, are you longing for a vintage pair of leather driving gloves? Oprah and her team are at your service! For $49, someone in your life can savor a set of luxurious faux leather gloves in decadent colors like cranberry and forest green that feature exquisite stitching along the seams. 

Pattern Beauty Blow Dryer

One of Oprah’s friends, Tracee Ellis Ross, designed a hair dryer for the curly-haired girls in your life. It’s beautifully designed and will fit right in to the bathroom of someone who loves classic, neutral tones. Along with a ceramic-coated grill, this dryer comes with all the right accessories, depending on the mood of the day. Ladies can use the diffuser to curl their hair or the concentrator nozzle when they feel like going sleek and straight. 

Annie Selke Fab Faux Throw

If the thought of nestling under a thick faux fur throw with a hot cup of tea gives you a thrill, you simply must indulge in the moss green faux fur throw featured on Oprah’s list this year. It’s plush, decadent, and soft as can be. Not only will it elevate the look of your room when it’s strewn across a reading chair or sofa, but it will also wrap you up in the epitome of coziness.

Popsmith the Popper

Onto the kitchen! Do you have an artist in the kitchen in your family? Certainly, you’ll find something for them on this year’s wishlist. But, if that artist happens to love a bowlful of popcorn when they’re indulging in a binge-a-thon, they’ll love this stovetop popper. It avoids the perils of a microwave, prevents kernels from being burned, and allows them to add any number of flavors to the pot. 

Bona Fortuna Raw Honey Gift Set

Oprah et al even went so far as to include gourmet food options in this year’s wish list. If you have a tea-lover in your life who loves to add a drop to their tea, they’ll love this gift set. It includes four bottles of 100% organic Italian honey and a golden spoon to up the ante for their sacred moments of calm accompanied by a fresh spot of tea. 

Litflask Smart Water Bottle

Here’s a unique twist on the classic reusable stainless steel water bottle. A new company, Litflask, developed an interesting invention that combines a double-insulated water bottle with a flashlight and Bluetooth speaker. Cute, right? This could be a wonderful addition to any potential glamping trips in the new year.
