Nothing kicks off the holiday shopping season like Oprah Winfrey‘s Favorite Things list.
The media mogul has unveiled her gift picks for 2024, bestowing the coveted “Oprah’s Favorite Things” title “small businesses and women-, LGBTQIA+-, Latinx- and Black-owned startups around the country,” she says.
Winfrey organized her selections into stylish, cozy, family, kitchen, tech, beauty, food and wellness categories. Think everything from splurge items ($55 potato chips from Spain, Theragun’s Prime Plus heated massage gun) and affordable daily essentials (chic dog walking crossbody bags, gourmet hot sauces, stylish pocket leggings) to thoughtful stocking stuffers (journals, card games, sweet treats).
“One of my favorite things about this time of year is how open people are to spreading goodwill,” the 70-year-old multi-hyphenate says in a release. “And every present you offer is a chance to show someone how much you appreciate them — an opportunity to say, ‘You matter to me, and I am so grateful to have you in my life.’”
This year’s list also has a clear color theme: while last year featured picks in royal purple, Winfrey’s 2024 roundup includes items in Elphaba-esque green and Glinda-worthy pink (for all the Wicked fans), such as Born to Roam’s Emerald City-ready wool fedora, OA’s gold gemstone hoops, Cincha’s canvas Go-Tote bag and many other fashionable finds. Shoppers will also discover celebrity-approved gifts, including Tatcha’s body care (recommended to Winfrey by her “neighbor,” Meghan Markle), comfy boots loved by Julia Roberts and Viola Davis, organic cotton PJs for the entire family from Jessica Alba-founded Honest Baby and others.
Bonus: Many of her picks are on sale for Black Friday, including Chrissy Teigen’s bakeware set, Tracee Ellis Ross’ Pattern Beauty blow dryer, GreenPan’s 10-piece Nova cookware set, the K. Carroll color-changing clutch, Dearfoams’ comfy knit clogs, De’Longhi’s Eletta Explore espresso machine, Bose’s Ultra Open earbuds, Justin Gregory’s chic faux leather gloves, PurseN’s light-up makeup bag and much more.
Below, check out some of the best gift-ready picks from the 2024 Oprah’s Favorite Things list, plus some of the best deals at Amazon, Nordstrom and beyond. As always, we suggest shopping early as many products sell out well before Thanksgiving.
The Best Black Friday Deals on Gifts from Oprah’s Favorite Things List
Bose Ultra Open Earbuds
“Know someone who’s yet to find earbuds that don’t fall out? Send them Bose’s ‘open’ style. They’re worn like an ear cuff—folks can still hear the world around them while never losing these. Genius!”
PurseN Litt Makeup Bag LITTMINI
“This travel makeup (or jewelry) case has a secret: an LED light and mirror so a person can see what they’re doing—no matter where they find themselves.”
OA Ora Ana Claire Huggie Hoops
“You never can go wrong with a hoop. For those who prefer a more, ahem, demure look, go for the gold vermeil or sterling silver three-quarter-inch style with different gemstones.”
Apparis Women’s Coco Gloves

Use code 25OFF to save 25 percent off Funboy’s inflatable snowmobile, which Winfrey says “is a real step up from the models most of us grew up with, isn’t it?”
Tatcha Hinoki Body Care Trio
“This is a favorite Favorite Thing — with the scent of a forest sent to me by my neighbor Meghan. If you were to come into my house, you’d see this body wash, body oil, and body milk right by the tub.” Although the set is now sold out, you can save 25 percent on the individual items at Tatcha’s website — bringing the three-piece kit down to $105.

“Singer and producer Kandi Burruss designed this clever travel case that snaps open to reveal seven makeup brushes, each shaped for a different purpose, from expertly applied eyeshadows to seamless blending.”

PATTERN by Tracee Ellis Ross Blow Dryer with Four Attachments
“Know someone with curly, coily, or tight-textured hair? Send them this blow-dryer by Tracee Ellis Ross — who has the most gorgeous hair and knows a thing or two about the topic. Thanks to four attachments, every day will be a good hair day.”
LITFLASK Smart Water Bottle with Premium Bluetooth Speaker
“The young founder of this company realized that everyone he knew carried three things, so he put them together in this double-insulated, light-up water bottle that includes a Bluetooth speaker and a portable charger. Give it to friends and family — because the speakers connect, you’ll have an exceptional surround-sound experience at your next gathering.”

“A robe that wraps a person in a cloud of softness can take the edge off even the earliest morning or the coldest day — and is something friends and family won’t splurge on for themselves.”
Ray-Ban Meta Square Sunglasses
“The gift of the season! I’ll be giving these to lots of folks this year. Ray-Ban and Meta’s newest glasses can tell you what you’re looking at in a new city, translate a menu from a foreign language, play music, snap photos, take a phone call, and more. The traveler, the techie and the trendsetter will dive right in.”

Leo & Luca Balloon Initial Necklace
“Okay, this is so neat: You can keep the bubble-letter charm on the longer 18kt-gold-plated brass chain or remove it and wear it as a choker with the black cord provided.”
Pine Cone Hill Fab Faux Olive Throw
