The Best Of Oprah's Favorite Things

( Via: Amazon )

If you need inspiration for gift giving, look no further than Oprah's Favorite Things.  Ever since she shouted those famous words "You get a gift, You get a gift, You get a gift," I get excited to see what's on the list each year.  It's always good. Oprah can have the best of everything, has fabulous resources, and appreciates a good value, too.  All of her picks are great. These are my favorites.

HERE: 12 Oprah Picks To Love

The Book Of Joy
Isn't this what we all really want? There is no better gift than one can give. Oprah feels that this book is the best $26 you can ever spend. I happen to agree!
Amazon

Silicone-Band Watch by KYBOE
Aren't these fun? Oprah called them "jazzy." They feature an LED light, luminous hands and numbers, and are suitable for swimming!
Amazon

Kindle Oasis
Give them a reading oasis of their own! This new model is almost pocket sized, lighter than air, and comes equipped with a leather charging cover. Pretty darn nice for anyone, but maybe especially nice for the elderly.
Amazon

Bamboo Chic Loungewear

If you have a Barefoot Dreams Bathrobe, that's probably enough said. These are huggable, feathery soft, and ever so light. You will never want to step out of them!
Amazon 

P.S. Find the matching jacket HERE

Scented Fire Starters

Here is a fabulous host gift for anyone with a fireplace. Made from organic beeswax, wood and essential oils, these are extra nice.

Amazon

Stackable Handmade Cuffs

A little bit edgy, and a whole lot of beautiful for the less than $100 price.  No wonder Oprah loved them for her BFF, Gayle!
Amazon

Harriet Boot by Tretorn
Now these are a must for Apres Ski or just getting down the street on a snowy day. With a waterproof rubber sole, high-performance sock and over the knee design, these boots are made for walking with maximum style.
Amazon 

Beatriz Tropical Edge Clutches
I'm with Oprah. I adore these chic clutches, which have been made by women in developing communities in the Philippines. The colors are inspired by the country's eye catching fabrics. Just add an LBD.
 Amazon 

Truffle Zest Holiday Set
Oprah never goes anywhere without her Truffle Zest. This is what you get the Foodie on your list. Yum!
Amazon

Fringe Key Chain

This is THE very best under $20 gift I have ever found. Bright and cheery, the initials are Lucite and the tassel is faux but fabulous. 
Amazon

Anti-Stress: Coloring Book & Colored Pencils
I just think these adult coloring books are the best idea. My brother in law takes great pride in the work he does with his own. A wonderful idea for adults of all ages. 
Amazon

Smart Luggage

As Oprah says: "This luggage went to college! "These smart and chic cases will charge your phone, while weighing the contents, and even come with their own GPS!  More colors available.
