Kindle Scribe
Kindle Scribe is Amazon’s first Kindle device that offers the best of both worlds because you can read and write with it.
“This summer, a friend I was traveling with raved about his Kindle, the first to include a notebook and a pen that never needs charging—especially how readable it was in the sun and how much he enjoyed writing notes with it,” Oprah wrote. “He was right!”
Beats Studio Pro Over-Ear Headphones
Fun fact: Oprah is a fan of “all things Beats” including the new Studio Pro headphones. The latest over-ear, noise cancelling headphones from the brand offer up to 40 hours of battery life.
“I love all things Beats,” Oprah wrote in her gift guide. “Some of us are over-the-head-headphone people, and if you know one of them, these are the best of the best.”
Meta Quest 3 Asgard's Wrath Bundle
For the gamers and tech lovers, the Meta Quest 3 virtual reality headset allows you to explore all kinds of games in the Quest content library without a PC or console. You can also watch live concerts, films, exclusive events and more.
“This headset gives both fully immersive and mixed-reality experiences for 500-plus apps,” Oprah said of the virtual reality set. “Great for gaming, or, if you’re Adam and Gayle, a quick game of virtual pickleball at the office.”
Take OFF Luggage 18 Inch Personal Item Removable Wheels Suitcase
A budget-friendly suitcase for holiday travel and more. This “brilliant under-the-seat-bag” from Take Off luggage features removable wheels, so you can pop them off and slide the bag under your seat.

The Original, The Remix, The Encore Collection Family Matching Holiday Sweatshirts
The holidays are the perfect time to whip out your matching family sweatshirts. As Oprah noted, “We finally solved the mystery of what to wear after the matching family pajamas —matching family sweatshirts, especially ones that encourage both smiles and group pictures.”
House No. 23 Alaia Sherpa Fleece Robe
House 23 is known for its super soft robes, throw blankets and more. Oprah chose the sherpa fleece robe for the ultimate feeling of post-bath plushness and warmth.
“I picked their throw last year, and I can tell you the only thing better than diving under a faux-shearling blanket is to walk around almost wearing one—makes you feel like you’re at a spa,” wrote Oprah.
Therabody TheraFace Pro
You don’t have to leave home for a spa-like skin treatment. The TheraFace Pro features eight therapies in one tool. “It has percussive massage and cleansing options, and red, blue, and red-plus-infrared light therapies,” wrote Oprah. “It’s for anyone looking for lifting and tightening but afraid of needles.”
Sterling Forever The Perfect Occassion Earring Case
Take your jewelry on the go with this Sterling Forever travel case complete with earrings. As Oprah wrote, it’s a mini “treasure chest with five earring styles we curated to cover every travel need, from day-tripping to black-tie wedding. Plus room for your other essential pieces.”

If you’re not already familiar with Telfar, consider this an introduction. The Medium Shopping Bag features a double strap (handles and cross-body straps), embossed logo and a main compartment with magnetic snap closure. It’s also the same bag that Beyoncé was spotted wearing in 2021.
WanderFull Crossbody HydroBag
Carry your water bottle in style with Wanderfall’s Crossbody HydroBag. It’s available in 24 colors including matte and metallic designs.
“Now, this is a design I haven’t seen before—cute and multifunctional,” Oprah raved. “It holds my water bottle when I’m hiking in Maui; for city walkabouts, the pocket holds a phone and a credit card.”
How to Be More Tree: Essential Life Lessons for Perennial Happiness
Ready to be more like a tree? “Trees are having a moment,” Oprah explained. “I’ve seen lots of books on the topic, but How to Be More Tree, with its gorgeous illustrations and wisdom of the ages, is the one I send to friends.”
Le Creuset Enameled Cast Iron Bread Oven
OK, this one is just so fun. A way to make easy, homemade bread is perfect for a baker or food enthusiast in your life. It’s also great for someone who is gluten free but still wants to enjoy bread without the reaction that comes along with it.
“You know how I feel about bread, so I was very happy to see this enameled cast-iron piece that brings brick-oven baking to a home oven,” wrote Oprah. “In other words, it makes a crust to die for.”
