One of Oprah’s Favorite Things is from Georgia
Every year Oprah releases her Favorite Things list just in time for holiday shopping. This years’ list is focused is on items from small businesses, featuring 104 gifts from family-run, local makers, including BIPOC- and woman-founded companies.
Among the books, kitchen gadgets, cozy home goods and beauty items, one item on this year’s list comes from right here in Georgia. Oprah has declared Savannah Bee Company’s Queen Bee Body Butter gift set “decadently creamy” and “hard to beat.”
The Savannah Bee Co. loves working with bees and honey in an effort to create amazing products that are great for you and the environment. They also have a mission to help keep bees wild by providing education with the Bee Cause and Exuma Projects.
“Everything we do at Savannah Bee Co. is so bees can continue their sacred work of building hives, pollinating flowers, powering our food supply, and spreading beauty,” says its website.
“With each jar of honey, bee-powered beauty product, and cultivated hive, we’re working to save the bees. And with every purchase from Savannah Bee Company — you are too.”
This year marks the companies 20th anniversary. To get your hands on its Queen Bee Body Butter visit savannahbee.com or the Amazon store front.
