It’s what Oprah fans (and brands big and small) were waiting for: Ahead of the holidays, Oprah Winfrey unveiled her annual Favorite Things list Nov. 1 — and there’s still time to order some of the media mogul’s top picks for delivery before Christmas.
Stumped shoppers have looked to Winfrey’s epic roundup year after year for cool gift ideas, while lucky business owners can now proudly claim their seal of approval (aka marketing gold) by the superstar herself. This year’s list highlights 110 picks from small businesses owned by women and people of color, with products ranging from investment items (think a $1,795 rowing machine and a $600 air purifier) to affordable fashion accessories and beauty stocking stuffers under $100. There are also cozy essentials, beauty and bath products, stationery, home goods and plenty of other gift-ready items. And some of the brands are helmed by stars such as Kevin Hart (who is the creative director of Hydrow) and Honest company founder Jessica Alba, while others are frequently spotted on Hollywood’s most stylish names.
