It’s never been easier to shop the season’s most-anticipated gift guide, either with Amazon presenting Oprah’s Favorite Things.

Oprah’s Favorite Things remains the top gift guide to shop this season for shoppers wanting to give an eclectic mix of classic and one-of-a-kind gifts. And of course, Orpah emphasizes that there’s something for everyone, and shoppers should remember to treat themselves, too.
Oprah's Favorite Things are available on Amazon, many of which are Prime-eligible. That means for several gifts, shoppers can enjoy free two-day shipping, as well as free, no-hassle returns through January 31.
Some of Oprah's Favorite Things already even come in presentation-worthy gift boxes, such as this organic mustard set. Other gifts can be wrapped by Amazon for an additional fee starting at $4. Or, shoppers can add wrapping paper or gift bags to their Amazon orders, so gifts and wrapping supplies arrive conveniently in the same shipment.
Oprah's Favorite Things include gifts at all price points, which means there’s something to suit every shopper’s budget. There are affordable gifts priced below $50, including toys and puzzles and high-end picks like rowing machines that are over $2,000. However, several of the gifts fall between the $100-$300 price range.
