Does Oprah have her finger on the pulse of what people love or do people love things because Oprah said they are good? Since she is such an avid reader, for instance, Oprah’s opinions on books are highly valued, even by established writers. Her recommendations carry a great deal of weight and have turned unknown authors into bestselling writers seemingly overnight. It’s called “the Oprah Effect” for a reason.

But Oprah likes more than just books. Each year, she compiles a comprehensive holiday gift list that includes her favorite items, ranging from beauty to tech. This year, there are 104 products she has chosen. We’ve decided to spotlight our favorite things from Oprah’s Favorite Things 2022 list.

Since there are so many items on this list, we’ve broken it down into seven categories so you can quickly navigate to the items you want most, whether it is an Echo device or an espresso machine. The categories are Beauty, Children’s Gifts, Food, Kitchen Appliances, Self-Care, Tech and Travel.
