Oprah's Favorite Things List Is Full of Great Holiday Gifts. Here Are the 10 Best Ideas Under $50
It’s that time of year again — the Queen of Media, Oprah Winfrey, has just anointed an eclectic grab bag of products as her Favorite Things for the 2019 holiday season.
As usual, there are some stunners on this list of 79 items, with price points to match — there’s a $1,600 exercise bike, for instance. But there are plenty of lower-priced goodies, as well, for kids and pets, for gift-giving or just to treat yourself.
If you see one of Oprah’s Favorite Things that you like, it may be wise snap it up sooner than later. As you might recall from last year, many of these items, especially those that are made by small companies, sell out fast.
Truff White Truffle Hot Sauce, 6 Oz.: $34.99
Oprah calls this luxurious, limited-edition condiment “sublime.” This is definitely one that will sell out, trust us. Grab ones for all your foodie friends right away.

@Jewelchic Rainbow Stainless Steel 17 Oz. Water Bottle: $19.99
You don’t need to be a VSCO girl to appreciate that a portion of the profits from these water bottles go to an educational charity for girls in Zimbabwe, whose founder has been featured on Oprah’s show twice. (P.S. But if you do know a VSCO girl, get her these reusable straws from Oprah’s list, too.)
