Stop what you’re doing: Oprah just dropped her annual Favorite Things list, and let me tell you, it is stacked. Every year, I look forward to a little gifting inspiration from multi-hyphenate Oprah: She has immaculate taste, and her list of holiday favorites has something for everyone, whether you’re in search of a cozy comfort, a luxurious upgrade, or a practical pick. This year’s list, which includes 79 unique items across beauty, tech, wellness, and more, is one of her best yet. As a professional kitchen gift-giver, I fully endorse Oprah’s food and kitchen finds, like this luxurious all-in-one coffee maker, truffle-infused sauces, showstopping salt and pepper mills, and more. 

For the first time in 15 years, Oprah surprised a group of unsuspecting caregivers with her Favorite Things — watch the whole holiday podcast episode (I know I’ll be joining the festive holiday sing-along with Grammy-winning artist Jacob Collier). Shop the 9 best Oprah-approved gifts for the foodies on your list below.

$795 $695 at Amazon

Oprah recommends this fully automatic espresso machine, which happens to be Food & Wine-approved as a space-saving pick: It’s just 7.5 inches wide. “It grinds whole beans to make an Americano, drip coffee, and more, so everyone in the house gets what they like best,” according to Oprah.

I’m snagging this gift set for the hard-to-shop-for set — think in-laws and minimalists who don’t want more stuff. Pair the fig jam, fig balsamic, fig bruschetta set, and extra virgin olive oil with a fresh baguette to kick off aperitivo hour or give as a memorable host gift.

“I love giving this set to anyone moving into their first house,” says Oprah of this modular 11-piece cookware set. The nonstick ceramic is dishwasher-, oven-, stovetop-, and induction-safe, and the handles detach, so the dishes stack neatly within each other when it’s time to put them away.

Two air fryers are better than one, according to Oprah, especially this editor-loved glass model. “Two air fryers in one means meat on one side, veggies on the other. With Smart Finish tech, they’re ready at the same time.” And what’s better than the gift of solving dinner?

Truff Culinary Gift Set

Oprah has featured Truff’s delicious infused hot sauces and condiments on her Favorite Things list six times over the past 30 years. This gift set features a truffle oil — drizzle it on top of eggs for a heavenly breakfast — as well as the brand’s classic truffle hot sauce and new pineapple hot sauce.

Feppo Electric Warming Tray

With 10 heat settings and a slim profile, these warming trays might have finally solved unevenly heated potluck meals and holiday dinners. “A host can use all four panels or just snap in the ones they need. These will be used a lot at my house during holiday buffet dinners.” Just plug them in to keep your meal toasty for longer.

$400 at Amazon

Oprah knows her pizza ovens: Last year’s Favorite Things featured an indoor model, but this year, we’re back to the great outdoors with this compact pick. Oprah loves how it produces a “perfectly crisp crust” in minutes, as well as how quickly it can be set up. “From the box to your first pizza takes almost no time at all.”

Mackenzie-Childs Electric Salt and Pepper Mill Set

Seasoning your food doesn’t have to be a utilitarian affair. These stunning salt and pepper mills offer the easy, 1-button operation of an electric set with all the pretty charm of a traditional grinder. And they sit on a charging base, so they’re always ready to go. “A flavorful upgrade for any cook in your life.”

Mauviel M’Cook 5-Ply Stainless Steel 10-Piece Cookware Set

$1,300 at Amazon

Look no further than this French-made stainless steel cookware set as a worthy splurge. Oprah has used it herself and attests to its quick, even heating and superior performance. “Yes, the set is an investment and hand-wash only, but it’s perfect for someone who really loves to cook.”
