Oprah Fav Things_lead_Opt 3.jpg

Just in time for the holiday shopping season to kick off, the 2023 list of Oprah’s Favorite Things is here. Her famous annual roundup of giftable items — in categories like travel, kitchen, beauty, self-care and more — serves as a handy short list for gifting loved ones and treating yourself during the holidays.

Oprah tends to put the focus on promoting small businesses, and she’s kept that up this year with additions from independent brands (though with the convenience of shopping on Amazon).

Her list can get quite long, but we rounded up our favorites so you know exactly what we think is worth buying. (You can check out the whole thing over at Oprah Daily, though.)
