Whenever we’re stuck on what to get someone for any holiday, we immediately peruse through Oprah’s Favorite Things lists to get foolproof ideas. But TBH, that’s no small feat given how many items she’s vetted over the years — we could (and have) gotten lost in her long, long registry of must-haves for hours. No one needs extra work to do around the holiday season, so, to make your holiday gift shopping a breeze, we compiled the best of the best from Oprah’s coveted Favorite Things list that we know anyone on your list is guaranteed to love (and you too!).
From self-care picks — like the luxurious bath salts Oprah has used for decades or this decadently soft robe — to tried-and-true products from years ago that are just as good as they were before, there’s something for every person on this list. For the tea lover, the chef, the beauty fan, or someone who loves a calming cup of gourmet tea at the end of the day.
Ahead, check out the best Oprah-approved holiday gifts that’ll make anyone in your life smile. Many of these items have sold out before, so don’t wait to add them to your cart. After all, you don’t have much time left before the holidays are here, and shipping delays are in the forecast already.

The Softest Robe Ever: Barefoot Dreams Malibu Collection Soft Jersey Short Robe
The robe that Oprah called “like a baby blanket for adults” is one of QVC’s loungewear stars. The Buttery soft layer comes in various styles, but we love one of the newest: the Barefoot Dreams Malibu Collection Soft Jersey Short Robe, maid of one of the coziest fabrics that will ever touch your skin: bamboo (with a hint of spandex). The mid-length jersey knit robe whispers “quiet luxury.”

Vionic Relax Slippers
We all love cozy slippers, and Oprah raved in 2016 about this Relax pair by Vionic — which made her Favorite Things list three years in a row.

Treat their feet to a pair that are just as cushiony as they are stylish, like this fuzzy leopard version.
