Oprah’s Favorite Things List Just Dropped & It’s Basically Your Holiday Shopping Cheat Sheet

Even if you’re the most organized, creative, ahead-of-the-eight-ball holiday shopper, it’s impossible to get it all done without at least a little last-minute panic. December is a month of chaos and between the White Elephant parties, travel, and your never-ending wrapping marathon, there’s always someone who gets forgotten in the shuffle—or is just so difficult to shop for that you procrastinate finding them a unique Christmas gift idea like you procrastinate filing your taxes.

Here’s the good news: Oprah has basically done all the heavy-lifting for us this year. She just dropped her 2025 Oprah’s Favorite Things List (a shopping writer’s Bible!) and it’s the ultimate cheat sheet for every tricky, picky, and oops-I-totally-forgot-them giftee on your list. From cozy home essentials to gadgets you’d probably never find all on your own, these are the absolute best gift ideas—for your boyfriend, bestie, nephew/niece, cousin, co-worker, parent, you name it.

Gifts for Her

I’m going to level with you: While not everything on Oprah’s Favorite Things List is exactly my style (say, these sneaker stilettos), those are the exception, not the rule. The rest of her selection is a fool-proof gift guide to winning the holidays—and hey, someone in your life might really like the sneaker stilettos. This JW Pei Harlee Shoulder Bag is the moment—not just because it’s $90, but yes, that definitely helps. And these Rag & Bone sweatpant jeans? Don’t knock ’em til you try ’em. Obviously, I needed zero convincing to add these Skims PJs and Brooklinen robe to my online cart too—and even though I own a Lola Blanket already, suddenly I want a bigger size.

Gifts for Him

Shopping for a significant other, brother, dad, or boy bestie (I was gonna say situationship, but on second thought, don’t buy him a gift) is tough—even if they’re easy to please and “love everything.” In fact, those might be the toughest breed to shop for. But fear not! I–or, I guess, Oprah—has you covered. This foldable drone is basically a toy for grown-ups, and AirPods are a crowd-pleasing stocking stuffer. There’s also an indoor pizza oven, which will seriously impress. Plus, you’ll probably get to reap the benefits of a homemade slice from time to time. All else fails? Buy him the Pretzels Classic Gift Box. You know what they say? The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, blah, blah, blah.

Gifts for Teens

If you want to be the cool aunt/older sister/cousin, listen up: I have a pretty fool-proof gifting strategy. Just think, ‘What would they think is cool enough to flex on TikTok?’ and that’ll probably impress. The Béis Mini Weekender is all the rage on their FYP and will look so cute at a sleepover, and the Baublebar bead set is perf for your crafty teen—they can make their own bag charms. If your nephew is obsessed with gains (do the kids still say that?), the Beast Go Cordless Blender is perfect for his protein shakes, and these Mosh Bars make a great stocking stuffer. If you want to win Christmas entirely, get the Frame TV.
