The midterms are over and Thanksgiving is near, but Oprah is already getting us in the holiday season with her annual Oprah’s Favorite Things Gift Guide. If you didn’t already know, each year Oprah curates a list of dozens of gifts that she’s given her stamp of approval. This is the 22nd year that Oprah has been sharing her gift guide with us. It will be featured in the December issue of O, The Oprah Magazine, which hits newsstands nationwide on November 20th.
These gifts range from cool gadgets, beauty products to kitchen accessories. On the low end, there is a $15 bottle of spicy, black-truffle-infused hot sauce to the $1,000 55 inch TV that disappears into the wall! Her picks include everything from the new iPhone XR and a shag throw blanket to stocking stuffers. There are even a few kids toys on her list too! In addition to catering to different people in your life, this year’s guide also includes a wide range of prices! The total list from Oprah includes 107 products – which is the longest the list has ever been! However, what we’re really excited about is that this year the list includes 50 items under $50! (HOLLA!)
Even better, most of these items are listed on Amazon. It’s like Oprah is speaking to our souls – give us an amazing gift that’s not cheap, but affordable, and we can shop from the very comfort of our couches, in pajamas, drinking coffee. She knows us oh so well. But let us warn you, once Oprah dons something as her Favorite Thing, it’s going to sell out fast! Don’t wait until Black Friday sales to try and score some of these items, because you might be out of luck.
If you want to peruse the entire list – you can do so here. However, we know that all of you Modern Day Moms are ballin’ on a budget so we’re going to focus on those frugal $50 and under gifts that you can easily find on Amazon!
