While there's some debate as to when the holiday season officially kicks off, I'd say that the arrival of Oprah Winfrey's annual gift guide is my cue that the most wonderful time of the year is upon us. And guess what, y'all? Oprah's Favorite Things list for 2024 has officially dropped! Not only am I pulling out my Christmas decorations as we speak, but, more importantly, I'm whipping out my card to get some Oprah-approved shopping done ASAP. As always, Oprah's list is filled with must-haves for everyone, from these Sole Bliss leather and shearling wonder boots to the Leo & Luca Balloon initial necklace. It's safe to say this year's gift recs, which come straight from the queen of gifting herself, are so good you won't be able to resist securing a few this season—especially since they're *all* available on Amazon!

So, while a holiday shopping spree may not have been on your to-do list today, it better be now. You can bet Oprah's thought of you, me and just about anyone else on our shopping lists when she curated this collection of items she swears by. On that note, I've researched over 100 Oprah-approved gifts to bring you ten of the best buys to secure for yourself or someone else this Christmas, starting at $38. No need to thank me—you've got some serious holiday shopping to do!

Hoping to add a new pair of boots to your shoe collection? Look no further than this shearling-lined pair that's not only loved by Oprah herself, but also her besties Gayle King and Julia Roberts. While the Italian leather shoes' stamp of approval from A-listers may be reason enough for you to add them to your cart, you should also know that they have a durable, non-slip sole with retractable stainless steel studs, so you can step out and show out even in the snowiest, iciest weather.

While Oprah may have only recently given this kitchen gadget her official thumbs-up, my fellow editors have been fans of it for years. The frozen treat machine has 11 programs that can help you make everything from gelato to smoothies and milkshakes with the touch of a button. On an episode of Take My Money, PureWow content creator Kate Kesselman tested the machine to determine whether it's actually worth the hype, and spoiler alert, she swears it is: "I think this device would be really fun if you’re at a family retreat [or] a gathering and you guys make different ice cream flavors." That said, if you buy this baby for the holidays, it may just help bring everyone together in delicious fun.

Want to get the most beauty bang for your buck this holiday season? This natural lip tint set is more like a treasure chest since it comes stocked with not two, not five, but ten matte lippies to match any holiday fit and then some. The best part is that the lip tints are all-natural, even down to the packaging, containing vitamin E, beeswax, sunflower oil, coconut oil, ethical mica and a hint of mint to give them a refreshing flavor. But you don't have to just take my word for it. One buyer says, "The ingredients are so clean, the colors are subtle so they don't scream 'I'm wearing lipstick,' and the peppermint adds a tingle and fresh scent...I even put this balm on before bed because the peppermint feels so nice." Sounds like it's the ultimate pick for perfecting for your pout, so it's no wonder it's been on Oprah's 'Favorite Things' list for several years.

This polyester and nylon lounge set that's earned its name by being *so* plush and cozy has been on Oprah's Favorite Things List for years, so it's safe to say she's obsessed. "This year's lounge set, with a V-neck, remains the best for lounging around. It comes in a number of luxurious colors," Oprah notes in her 2024 gift guide. What she didn't mention is that the two-piece set features comfy elastic pants with an added drawstring to help you get the fit just right. And whether you wear the pieces together or separately, you (or your giftees) are bound to get a ton of use out of 'em.

This ten-piece cookware set—featuring a Thermolon healthy ceramic nonstick coating free of PFAS, PFOA, lead and cadmium—is *a lot* more affordable than some other editor-favorite cooking sets, especially now that it's on sale for under $250. It includes a saucepan, stockpot, sauté pan, silicone solid spoon, silicone turner and two frypans, as well as two pan protectors and a wonder sponge. But what makes this Oprah-approved cookware better than others? Well, the brand says the pots and pans have an innovative induction base, which allows them to cook your food evenly every dang time (and with less oil, may I add), so if I were you, I would hurry up and buy this set for yourself or someone who needs a kitchen upgrade.

Oprah said it best: "The game lovers in your life will appreciate these handsome compact versions [of their favorite classic games] that look terrific on bookshelves." So, my advice? Don't wait to secure this pack, featuring Monopoly and Scrabble—two iconic titles that are guaranteed to get the holidays started with a bit of friendly competition. And when the (reindeer) games are over? The foil-stamped and fabric-wrapped cases can go onto any bookcase (or ledge) and blend in perfectly. In that case, you may want to secure this gift for yourself, too.

What's better than one vintage-inspired cocktail coupe? Um, how about six? This set includes six elegant glasses that are set to seriously elevate your sipping experience this holiday season (and long after). They're all designed in a delicate flower shape that isn't just for aesthetics—it actually makes them ideal for toasting 'tinis, bubbly and other festive beverages. Not to mention, the Instagrammable coupes come in a spectrum of gorgeous shades, from cloudy blue to burnt orange, so prepare for your guests to gush over them.

If you have makeup spilling out of every drawer, organize it all with this Oprah-approved beauty pouch that pretty much serves as an on-the-go vanity. In fact, it features a compact, detachable mirror, an LED light and detachable mini pouches for easy travel. And, in case you were wondering, it's crafted from premium vegan leather, so it looks nice and should be plenty durable. "It’s the absolute perfect size for me to carry daily in my backpack. The light makes it even better. I can carry different little hair accessories, touch-up makeup, and jewelry," says one buyer. "I can’t wait to fill it up!" BTW, this makeup bag also has an elastic pocket on the back to secure small items, plus the LED light has a 60-second auto-shutoff timer, so you can find what you need and go about your day.

Who doesn't love cozying up with a decadent mug of hot chocolate come the chilly months? Well, we now know Oprah's girl Gayle certainly does, particularly if it involves this hot chocolate trio. The giftable set includes a pack of classic hot chocolate, vanilla bean hot chocolate and cinnamon hot chocolate, all crafted in French Broad's Asheville, North Carolina chocolate factory. Featuring premium ingredients, like directly sourced Peruvian cacao, this delicious gift is sure to impress the chocolate addict(s) in your life, so you know what to do.

According to PureWow Beauty and Cultures Editor Chelsea Candelario (and a slew of jewelry experts she interviewed), bold metals will be everywhere in 2025. Feel free to read up on all her jewelry trend predictions here, or just add this initial balloon necklace to your cart ASAP. While it's made of brass, it has a fancy gold-plated finish, making it one of the coolest and most versatile necklaces you can buy for anyone on your list. I, for one, am scooping it up for all my friends since it has the perfect personalized touch, and it doesn't hurt that it's on sale for under $50 right now.
