Stumped on the hard-to-shop-for folks on your holiday list? Look to Oprah Winfrey‘s 2023 Favorite Things for some of the best gifts this season that will arrive before Christmas. One of the most coveted gift guide inclusions (as many products often sell out), the annual holiday list is available to shop online at Amazon. It includes products from businesses both big and small, including BIPOC-, women- or veteran-founded companies.
“This has been a year, hasn’t it? With so much happening, it makes sense that we want to celebrate with friends, family, the whole community of people we hold in our heart all year long,” says Winfrey of her selections, which span across fashion, beauty, tech, home decor, food, jewelry, toys and more. “You’ll not only find terrific presents but also support the people who stepped out on a dream to make those gifts happen.”

Winfrey’s picks are organized by stylish, cozy, kids’, kitchen, engaging, beauty, food and wellness gifts. Standouts include fashionable finds from Lunya and Spanx, home chef essentials from Mi Cocina and Ooni, coffee must-haves from Fellow and De’Longhi, tech gear like the Kindle Scribe and the Fujifilm Instax ybrid instant film camera, skincare and makeup from indie brands such as Bossy Cosmetics and Ami Cole and much more.
The star also selected many gifts in the color purple — thought to symbolize royalty, creativity, power, ambition and luxury — as an homage to The Color Purple, the new musical remake she produced inspired by Alice Walker’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel. (Winfrey earned an Oscar nomination for playing Sofia in Steven Spielberg’s 1985 film adaptation.) From designer Telfar Clemens’ now-iconic tote bag (often called the “Bushwick Birkin”) and travel-friendly earring cases, to HBCU-inspired watches and jewelry-making kits, there’s a perfect gift in shades ranging from lavender to plum for everyone.
Below, see some of the best gifts to shop from the 2023 Oprah’s Favorite Things list that will arrive by Christmas Eve (Dec. 24). From under-$20 beauty gifts and the $399 TheraFace Pro facial device, to the latest Meta Quest 3 VR headset and Winfrey’s own The Life You Want: Finding Your Purpose journal, check out to top ideas for everyone on your holiday list.
