The leaves are changing, the temperature is dropping and Oprah's Favorite Things list is back for another year.
USA TODAY has an exclusive first look at the list, which ranges from self-care products and cozy clothes to state-of-the-art tech products and kitchen must-haves.
Winfrey tapped into her celebrity network for some of her selections, from Shay Mitchell's Beis luggage and Kim Kardashian's Skims loungewear to neighbor, Duchess Meghan's As Ever lifestyle brand. Plus, she's revealing some rare details about herself, from her favorite fragrance to when she first started journaling.
On this year's list, 60% of the items are from small businesses, and there are more than 50 women-owned brands featured. The list clocks in at 112 selections, slightly less than last year's 116 picks.
"Every year I set out to find gifts that feel just right and carry meaning," Winfrey says. "My hope is that these gifts will help you celebrate the people who light up your life—and maybe add a little sparkle to your own."
Prices range from just under $20 ($13-$50 for matching pajama sets and a hooded scarf or a glasses case for $15) to a $2,200 TV – one of the highest price points fans have seen on the list. The full list will be available to shop on OprahDaily.com, and readers can also use Oprah Daily's new AI-assisted search tool Gift Finder, presented by Snapdragon, to make recommendations and find personalized gift ideas – including from past Favorite Things lists.
See an early glimpse at 12 highlights from Oprah's 2025 gift list:
No Makeup Makeup No Fragrance Fragrance
If you've ever wondered what Oprah smelled like (or wanted to smell like her), here's your chance. "I almost never wear fragrance – I like the fresh scent of just stepping out of a shower – but this one won me over," Winfrey said in the gift guide. "It's light, clean, and somehow becomes your own thanks to its FlexScent technology (it adapts to your pH, with top notes of peonies, pink pomelo, and lily of the valley). A unique gift for the unique person on your list." $75.

As Ever Jams Signature Fruit Spread Gift Set
Of course, Winfrey tapped her Montecito, California, neighbor for her annual list. Meghan's As Ever lifestyle brand, which launched earlier this year, makes its Favorite Things list debut with a fruit spread gift set. "Before my neighbor Meghan started her business," Winfrey casually proclaims, "she shared her homemade recipes with us. I love to drizzle it on an English muffin or yogurt, or ice cream. I also love bringing a jam or preserves as a hostess gift, and with this pretty box set of orange marmalade and raspberry and strawberry spreads, just add a bow and you’re ready to go." $42.
Model Bakery English Muffins Gift Set
Winfrey's lists always have two guaranteed favorites: something truffle-related, and some sort of bread (cue her "I love bread" video). Her top English muffin pick from Model Bakery returns to the list for another year. "I've picked these so many times, but they are my favorite English muffins – crunchy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and scrumptious all over. I order them by the crate so we always have extras on hand," Winfrey writes (and if anyone has visited the Napa, California, locations or ordered these online, they really are that good). $60.

Oprah's 'The Life You Want' Nightly Reflections Journal
While journaling has become somewhat of a viral craze in recent years, it's a practice that Winfrey has adhered to her whole life. "I got my first journal when I was 15, and more than 50 years later, I still have aha moments with mine," she writes. 'The Life You Want' journal has prompts to help you reflect on your day each night and manifest the life you want. $30.

Sneex The Tepper shoe
It's a sneaker and a heel! The brainchild of Spanx creator Sara Blakely, the brand is back on the list with a new shoe style: The Tepper. Winfrey says her best friend, Gayle King, is a "convert" and frequently wears the pricey, somewhat divisive, conversation-starting shoes. "Now she gets stopped nonstop – at work, on the street, even at the airport – by people asking about them," Winfrey writes. $595.

MYTAGALONGS Double Eyeglass Case
Though it's one of the least expensive items on the list, the case is all about protection and quality for all of your eyewear. The two-compartment eyeglass case allows you to have space for sunglasses and eyeglasses without the bulk of multiple cases. $15.

Concept2 SkiErg with Stand
Workouts with Winfrey include top-of-the-line equipment. This ski machine mimics the motion of pushing along ski poles using flywheel resistance, and it's one of the priciest items on the list. But it offers a "challenging" workout, Winfrey writes, having discovered it at the gym before buying one for her home. "I started with 30-second intervals – but a great aerobic workout," she writes. $1,070.

Brouk and Co. Pearl Travel Jewelry Case
Keep all of your jewelry safe and sound when traveling with this sleek and compact Brouk and Co. case. The vegan patent leather travel jewelry case has compartments for rings, earrings, necklaces – plus a little travel mirror – to provide organization on the go. $20.

Butter Blu Matching Family Jammies
What's better than cozying up in matching pajamas with your loved ones? These cozy jammies are a favorite of King's. "Gayle picks out the PJs each year," Winfrey writes about King, who's a mom to Kirby Bumpus and William Bumpus Jr., and a grandma to Kirby's two kids. $13 to $50 each.

Samsung Frame Pro
Eight years after its debut on the list, the Samsung Frame Pro TV is back again. It's the most expensive item on the list, but for good reason since it doubles as a TV and a piece of art whenever you don't have on the game or "Real Housewives." Plus, this model is "even slimmer, hanging nearly flush on the wall" with built-in artificial intelligence to "translate dialogue in real time." $2,200.

Crayola Inspiration Art Case
The child in your life could become the next Oprah with this gift. "My favorite Christmas of all time was when I was 8 years old and got my first big box of Crayola crayons," Winfrey reveals. This 140-piece Crayola art kit includes everything for the young Picasso: washable markers, crayons, pencils and drawing sheets, oh my! $28.
