It’s the Best Time of Year: Oprah’s Favorite Things List Is Here

Ruven Afanador for O, The Oprah Magazine

When The Oprah Winfrey Show was on the air, fans would wait all year long to see which must-have items the talk show host couldn’t live without. In November, one episode would be dedicated to Oprah’s Favorite Things (we’re talking everything from cars to trips to high-end designer goods) and she would hand out the whole list to a group of deserving viewers.

Though the show’s ended, Oprah’s Favorite Things lives on thanks to her eponymous magazine, O, The Oprah Magazine. And this year’s list is extra special. In an effort to further the movement for racial equality, Oprah and her team have hand-picked 72 items from Black-owned or -led companies.

Unfortunately, many of Oprah’s picks aren’t available outside the U.S., but we did find a few that Canadians can get their hands on.

Shop some of our top picks from Oprah’s Favorite Things:

Tory Burch Printed Face Mask Set

Face masks are the must-have item of 2020, so it’s no surprise that there’s one included on Oprah’s Favorite Things list. In additional to being made with adjustable ear straps and moisture-wicking fabric, this three-pack from Tory Burch comes with a cute pouch to store your mask when you aren’t wearing it.

$35 USD at Tory Burch

Sorel Kinetic Conquest Boot

If there’s one thing Canadians need, it’s a pair of good winter boots. (For more shopping inspiration, check this out.) Sorel nailed it with these waterproof boots made with microfleece lining.

$195 at PRFO Sports

Sweetheart Extra Large Hoop Earrings

Bring a little extra love to the holiday season with these gorgeous heart-shaped earrings from celebrity jewellery designer Simone I Smith.

$360 US at Simone I Smith

Warm Knit Foldover Satin Lined Beanie

Frizzy hair is a thing of the past, thanks to these satin-lined beanies. The lining will keep hair looking its best and the shape (oversized with a drawstring to tighten) will fit over any hairstyle.

$46 USD at Grace Eleyae Inc

54 Thrones African Beauty Butter Collection

Dry skin is a part of the season, but it’s made even worse by the constant hand washing and sanitizing. (Thanks, global pandemic.) Luckily, 54 Thrones Beauty Butters are here to save our skin. Made with two types of shea butter and nourishing plant botanicals, these luxe lotions made Oprah’s Favorite Things list for a reason.

$80 USD at 54 Thrones

Cozy Earth Bamboo Pullover and Joggers

This year is all about the ultra-soft and ultra-comfortable, and that’s exactly what this dreamy duo offers. Made with soft brushed bamboo, Oprah calls Cozy Earth the “softest ever.”
