It just might be Oprah fans’ favorite time of the year.
With the holiday season fast approaching, Oprah Winfrey dropped her much-awaited 2022 Favorite Things List today, marking her 26th edition of the famed annual gift guide.
“This year, we’re celebrating small businesses — think family-run, local makers, BIPOC- and woman-founded, and more!” Winfrey said in a press release.
The 2022 roundup features a whopping 104 present-ready picks, ranging from luxe loungewear to beauty products and home, tech and kitchen goodies.
And with all the products available on Amazon, there’s enough gift inspiration to fill your cart with presents for everyone on your list.
Below, we’ve rounded up 20 picks from the list that are worth adding to cart, whether you’re buying for yourself or getting ready to say “you get a gift, you get a gift, everybody gets a gift!” this holiday season.
Spanx Air Essentials Pullover and Pant ($118)
Oprah’s long been a fan of Spanx; while she recommended the brand’s Perfect Black Pant (from $128) in 2019 and Higher Power Capri ($28) in 2000, this year she’s loving the loungewear.
“When I tell you this set feels light as air, I’m not kidding,” she raved of the Half Zip ($118) and Wide Leg Pant ($118). “It’s my new leisure suit. The perfectly loose-and-lightweight fabric is like buttah!”
Girlfriend Collective Compressive Pocket Leggings ($88)
“The husband-and-wife team behind Girlfriend Collective (Gayle, a huge fan, told me about them) is making activewear more inclusive with this design that comes in sizes XS to 6XL,” Winfrey noted of these celebrity-loved leggings, which are 79% “made from plastic bottles.”
Emu Australia Stinger Micro Teddy Boots ($150)
Comfy slippers certainly didn’t slip Oprah’s mind this year, either. “These boots may look like slippers, but you can wear them out in the world,” she said of this soft sheepskin style. “They’re made of a teddy-bear fabric on the outside and warm, moisture-wicking sheepskin on the inside for a comfy, cozy fit.”
Dr. Barbara Sturm Cleansers and Glow Drops (from $75)
The tree doesn’t have to be the only thing glowing this holiday season, thanks to Oprah’s secret for dewy skin.
“This is how I keep my skin glowing,” Oprah wrote of Dr. Barbara Sturm’s brand, noting that she loves the hydrating Glow Drops ($150) “the most” and uses them on days she opts to go sans makeup. She also praised the Cleanser ($75) — “a gentle foam that takes off all my makeup” — and the Enzyme Cleanser ($75), which she described as “a powder that I mix with water to exfoliate.”
Lands’ End Quilted Maxi Primaloft ThermoPlume Coat ($199)
Stay warm and stylish this season with this Oprah-approved outerwear. “This coat has a classic yet updated look that feels high-end, with quilting and big front pockets,” she wrote of the jacket, which is “water-resistant and made from recycled insulation that was tested for warmth in temps as low as -13 degrees F.”
Sterling Forever Five Days of Hoops ($200)
Looking for a gift that just keeps on giving? This hoop earring advent calendar will bring some bling to each day.
“Hoops are my thing,” Oprah wrote. “So we curated the Five Days of Hoops (in silver or gold tones) in order to have an earring for every occasion, whether it calls for something understated or large and in charge. Fun to open and fabulous to wear — a win-win.”
Brouk and Co Ace 3-in-1 Portable Wireless Fast Charging Pad ($80)
Supercharge your holiday shopping with tech gifts like this Oprah-approved cord carrier and charger, which she wrote is “big enough to hold your phone, earbuds and Apple watch — meaning you only need one cord to charge three things.” Plus, it comes with a “sleek charging case.”
TheraGun Theragun Mini ($179)
Also among the buzzy gifts on Oprah’s list this year? A mini version of the Theragun massage gun.
“Give the gift of a tension-relieving massage anytime, anywhere with the new Theragun Mini, which is even more compact and lighter than the original mini,” she raved.
Ray-Ban Stories ($299)
Ray-Ban’s Wayfarer glasses are loved by stars like Kate Middleton and Reese Witherspoon — but this smart version, which Oprah wrote “might just be the gift of the year,” is more than meets the eye.
“They look like classic, streamlined Wayfarer sunglasses, but they actually connect to your phone,” she continued. “You can listen to music or podcasts, answer calls, and even take pictures and videos.”
K. Carroll Accessories Taylor Tote in Red ($48)
Stash your stuff in style with this Oprah-approved tote bag. “Not too big or too small, this vegan suede tote is just the right size for your on-the-go loved one in need of a stylish solution,” she wrote.
Minnetonka Lucie Women’s Slipper ($55)
For another fluffy footwear option, try these stylish slip-ons. Oprah gushed about them on her list, praising the “toasty cloudlike faux-fur lining and cushioned footbed.”
De’Longhi Magnifica Evo Espresso Machine ($900)
Start your day with a drink from this Oprah-approved machine, which she called “like having a personal barista at home.”
Laruce Tami 5-Piece Brush Set ($75)
Brush up on beauty tricks this season with a pack of five must-have makeup brushes.
“I’m very particular about makeup brushes,” Oprah wrote on the list. “These are cruelty-free, soft, and easy to clean and they come in a case that keeps them organized on your vanity and makes travel easy.”
Samsung The Freestyle ($598)
Bring the movie theater with you thanks to this portable projector, which works on any wall and can rotate almost 180 degrees.
Asutra Silk Eye Pillow ($22)
Even athletes like Venus Williams take time to rest. The tennis superstar is the co-founder of Asutra, the brand behind this Oprah-approved eye pillow which includes a gel mask for soothing and de-puffing.
Peepers by PeeperSpecs Take a Bow Readers ($29)
Eyeing a new pair of glasses this year? Oprah loves these PeeperSpecs styles, which offer different magnification levels for use as readers or blue light glasses.
“I often pick my glasses to match my outfit, and these specs are terrific,” Winfrey wrote of the stylish eyewear, which comes in four color combinations.
VoChill Stemless Wine Chiller ($45)
Give the gift of chilled wine with this freezable tool. “Picture this: You pour yourself a nice glass of chilled wine. But pretty soon, it’s warm,” Oprah wrote. “This crafty little device solves that problem.”
HonestBaby Organic Cotton Holiday Family Jammies (from $18)
Check off gifts for the whole family with these organic cotton pajamas from Jessica Alba’s Honest brand. They’re on Oprah’s shopping list this season, too, as she said she’s gifting some to Gayle’s daughter, Kirby, and her family.
Warmies Heatable Stuffed Animals ($20)
For a gift that’s warm and heart-warming all at once, consider these heatable, lavender-scented stuffed animals, which Oprah called “a soothing gift for the young and not-so-young.” What’s more, they’re currently on sale for 16% off.
Jiggy the Eve Art Puzzle Set ($49)
Puzzled about what to buy your loved ones this season? Try Jiggy’s Oprah-approved puzzle sets.
“The 800-piece puzzles feature artwork by emerging female artists and come in a reusable glass jar that includes a tube of jigsaw puzzle glue and a straight-edge tool to spread the glue to transform the finished product into a piece of art,” she wrote.
Get ready to give your loved ones something special to check for under their seats — or trees — this year.
