Our favorites of Oprah’s Favorite Things!

If you are like most you have already begun to panic over the upcoming holidays.  I personally begin shopping right at the beginning of the school year, I know you hate me. However If I don’t begin my shopping then how can I refer you to the good deals and steals?  And there you go your loving me again.  Today not only am I here to help you with your Holiday shopping lists, but I also have Oprah Winfrey here to help us take care of everyone on our list.

Oprah Winfrey’s iconic list of her “Favorite Things” will be published in the December 2015 issue of O, The Oprah Magazine which hits stands Nov. 10th. I was given an exclusive sneak peak of the list at The Oprah Magazine’s first ever Blogger Breakfast hosted by O Magazine’s Creative Director Adam Glassman!

“I’ve been picking my Favorite Things for more than 20 years, but this year’s list just might be the most versatile and fun ever,” says Oprah in the December edition of O Magazine.

Oprah’s Favorite Things list is filled with 87 brilliant gift ideas for everyone in your life, the chef, the techie, the fashionista, the host, the child and anyone else you can think of.  Oprah even has something for that person who you always run out of options for.
