When Oprah drops her Favorite Things at the beginning of the holiday season, we sprint to find out what she’s been eyeing over the past year. (For those of us who remember how epic her annual talk-show episodes were, here’s a shout-out to 2003’s portable DVD player and camcorder.) Aside from the fact that she always includes numerous shops across eight categories that are women-, LGBTQ+-, Latinx-, and Black-owned, the wide range of prices and styles makes it a group of products that’s shoppable for so many people. We sifted through this year’s picks and found eight crowd-pleasing gifts (all available on Amazon!) among the list of more than 100. Shop our edit, below.
Reisfields Cement Candle
Reisfields serves up its hand-poured, double-wick candles in a reusable cement vessel you’ll actually want to keep around. We’re eyeing the No. 1 and No. 8 scents, but there are six more to choose from.

Cravings by Chrissy Teigen Nonstick Bakeware Set
This nonstick set from Chrissy Teigen’s kitchen brand is as smart in design as it is in looks.
