Oprah unveiled her annual list of Favorite Things this week ahead of the 2022 holiday shopping seasons. Favorite Things started as a holiday segment on Oprah’s show in the 1990s and is now a highly anticipated event. Products featured on the list typically experience an astronomical boost in sales, which can propel a small business into the mainstream.
This year’s list undeniably trends pricey. You’d need $11,964 to buy all 102 items on the list, with an average price of $117 per gift. Just 31 of the items are under $50, and only a meager dozen clock in under $25.
If you’re looking to shop Oprah’s Favorite Things without breaking the bank, we’ve rounded up all the items priced under $40. Check them out below.
