Oprah's 'Favorites' list is one of the most anticipated gift guides of the season – and this year doesn't disappoint
The long-awaited list has something for every type of person in our lives – here are our favorite picks to get us started
Every year, some of the media's most prominent names share their list of gifts that deserve a spot under our tree come December 25th, and among the most popular of all is Oprah's.
The mogul recently kick-started the shopping season with her sought-after guide, aptly named 'Oprah's Favorite Things' – comprising some of the industry's best candles, coffee makers, and bread ovens. In total, Oprah recommends a cool 112 products, but to narrow the process down, we chose our six favorites, all of which happen to be homes-focused, naturally.
'Favorite things started because I wanted to share the gifts that I love with other people,' Oprah says. 'This year, I found some really good ones to share with you. Lots of these terrific gifts come from small business owners, family shops, best friends, and local makers, so you're not only discovering great gifts here – you are going to be supporting the people who stepped out on a dream to make them happen.'
Six top picks from Oprah's Favorite Things 2023
Oprah's Favorite list has given us a failsafe starting point for holiday shopping; here are the pieces we'd love to give (and receive) this year.
Crafted from the brand's legendary cast iron for exceptional heat distribution and retention, this Le Creuset oven is a culinary classic for a reason. We love this blushing colorway that will impress in every kitchen.
This candle has bottom notes of elemi, apple, and clove, middle notes of Rose de Mai, and a base of Sandalwood – all of which capture the aroma of Provence in a stylish shell designed in Harlem.
This electric kettle has a temperature control and a precision-pour spout, making it simple to enjoy a morning tea at the perfect temperature. It also has a precision-pour spout to make the process even simpler.
The De'Longhi TrueBrew Drip Coffee Maker comes with a built-in conical burr grinder that perfectly grinds fresh beans for a quality cup of coffee. The brand's Bean Extract Technology also promises a smooth drink every single time.
These 100% cotton face towels are soft, durable, and work beautifully on all skin types. They're a sustainable way to remove makeup (as they limit cotton wool and wipe waste) and look great on any bathroom shelf.
We love the variety of Oprah's guide this year, mostly because there's something for every price point. Now the biggest question is who gets what gift?
