The queen of holiday gifting has spoken.

It’s been 30 years since Oprah Winfrey first launched Oprah’s Favorite Things, a holiday gift guide to help shoppers find the perfect gift no matter the recipient.

“I bought a pair of plaid pajamas that I loved so much, I got them for everyone on my staff,” Winfrey wrote in the introduction to the 2026 list, which launched on Nov. 12. “Then a brilliant producer said, ‘Why don’t you do this for the whole audience?’ And that was the start of Favorite Things.”

In honor of the 30th anniversary, Winfrey also brought back another Favorite Things tradition: a holiday episode. For the first time in 15 years, she gathered an audience of unsuspecting fans — this time, caregivers — and surprised them with her must-have gifts.

The episode was released as an episode of “The Oprah Podcast,” Winfrey’s weekly video podcast.

In addition to Winfrey herself, the episode features an appearance by author Allen Levi — whose bestseller “Theo of Golden” appears on the list — and a performance by Jacob Collier, who will appear alongside Winfrey at AHA Live, her upcoming experience at the Sphere in Las Vegas.
