Oprah Winfrey is the queen of gift-giving — and that's coming from me, Yahoo's gifting editor. And what better gift guide is there than her aptly named Oprah’s Favorite Things list? Now’s the perfect time to shop her picks, thanks to Amazon’s Memorial Day sale.
You read that right: If you’ve ever wanted to treat yourself to one of Oprah’s faves, this is your moment. From a trendy tumbler for just $25 (take that, Stanley!) to Beats headphones at over 40% off, these savings are “O” so good (pun very much intended) that you may just want to be the gift recipient here.
Not all sales are created equal, so I combed through pages (and pages) of Memorial Day deals to find the best of the best. Don’t wait — these won’t last long.
If you have 60 extra bucks to spend on these over the Solo 4, do it. Active Noise Cancellation and Transparency Mode let you control how much of the world you hear, whether you're on a plane or at the gym. Plus, with up to 24 hours of battery life, they're built to keep up with your day.
Oprah said it: This hardworking duo is the ultimate travel companion,"with a smaller pouch perfect for makeup and a larger one for accessories." It's made with quality vegan leather, so she even suggests emptying the larger pouch and "transforming it into a going-out bag." Genius.
Pick between a mix of neutrals and brights, all of which are 20% off for Prime Day.
Oprah's been a fan of Barefoot Dreams for years — in fact, the brand has been featured on her Favorite Things list a whopping 11 times! And while she's praised its iconic plush throw blankets and robes in the past, 2023 was all about the socks.
Travel plans on the horizon? Oprah swears by this compact case with a "dedicated space to keep glasses and jewelry from getting scratched, tangled, or lost during their adventures." Grab it in one of seven shades, all down 20%.
This is the kind of mug you want to sip tea or coffee from all year long. Each one of these ceramic pieces is handmade, so each is really special — for gifting and for keeping for yourself. That can sometimes mean that tableware needs to be handled delicately, but these also happen to be dishwasher- and microwave-safe. They come in sets of two in four color options.
"Ayesha Curry, founder of Sweet July, understands that some of us want our hot coffee (or hot chocolate) to be just that — hot. And is there a better-looking option than these 16-ounce hand-thrown ceramic mugs," asked Lady O.
Oprah shared her love of Corkcicle in 2012, and the brand just debuted a new design that she adores. Unlike others on the market, this cutie is made to fit in most cup holders and the triple-insulation keeps drinks cold for up to 12 hours (and hot up to five). Oprah is a fan of the lavender, but there are 14 other options to pick from.
No one likes gummy mashed potatoes, and this set practically guarantees fluffy ones. It also comes with a beautifully displayed and artfully designed recipe for mashed potatoes. And if you're not a mashed potato fan (who hurt you)? They have kits for garlic-lovers and turkey. Makes a great housewarming gift too!
"Friends or family who value a job well done will appreciate this mashed potato tool set — a peeler, masher and spatula will help ensure the perfect spuds every time," Oprah shared.
Mother's Day may have past, but it's never too late to pick up this journal that little ones can give to Grandma (there's a version for Grandpa too!). Each page has a new prompt that helps "capture old stories and new memories alike." Nab it for 40% off and make Granny's (or GiGi's) day.
If you have Amazon Prime, you’ll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $35 or more.)
