To celebrate its 25th year, Oprah Winfrey’s annual Oprah’s Favorite Things list is going big... and small.
2021 marks the biggest list the media mogul has ever released with a whopping 110 items. But it’s not focusing on huge brands. Instead, small businesses get the spotlight.
“After this past year, I think we all deserve some surprises and delights for the holiday season,” Winfrey said in a statement obtained by USA Today. “That’s why we worked hard to find these truly delightful items.”
The list also has offerings which “(celebrate) small businesses, women-owned brands, and items created by people of color.”
It includes items for everyone in your life. They include gifts for home, pets, children, beauty lovers and techies. They also range from inexpensive items and those at higher price points.

Here are a few of Winfrey’s 2021 picks.
Style gift: Softies Dream Jersey Lounge Sets
“These matching sets are my kind of thing. They work for work or the weekend, which is good, because with their next-level softness, they’re hard to take off,” Winfrey said in part.
The sets retail for $109 each at softiespjs.com. You can buy them on Amazon too.
Home gift: Snappy Screen Snap Clean Hands
After the past year, keeping clean is top-of-mind. This gadget makes using hand sanitizer a hands-free experience.
“Touchless motion-sensing technology delivers a moisturizing mist of protection in one of four scents—and it looks way cooler than anything else I’ve seen,” Winfrey said.
It’s 20% off $80 with code “oprah” at snappyscreen.com. You can also buy it on Amazon.
Children’s gift: Mindful and Co Kids’ ABCs of Mindfulness and Affirmation Coloring Pencils Bundle
“I believe mindfulness is something every kid can benefit from, which is why I love this coloring book,” Winfrey.
These books are $37 at mindfulandcokids.com. You can also purchase them from Amazon.
Tech gift: Oculus Quest 2
You can explore the world without catching a flight in this virtual reality headset.
“I visited the Louvre right from the comfort of my living room,” Winfrey said. “They’d be a great gift for anyone who enjoys new explorations.”
The headset is $300 at oculus.com or you can purchase it from Amazon.
Food gift: The Fab Fête White Corn & Truffle Soufflé
The food gifts section is one of the list’s biggest.
“Is there anything more impressive at a dinner party than a perfectly risen soufflé?” Winfrey said. “This one, which serves eight and was created by a Texas caterer, takes all the hard work out of the equation, too.”
Buy it for $112 at thefabfete.com or on Amazon.
