Oprah’s Favorite Things List 2024 – With Budget Friendly & Affordable Alternatives

You know it’s approaching the holidays when… Oprah Winfrey is signaling the start of the holiday season again with her annual Favorite Things list! This year we were able to check out USA TODAY who had an exclusive first look at the 2024 list before magazines hit the stands on November 12th, 2024.

(Magazines have now been released)

Oprah’s Favorite Things Chosen Items

Oprah has released her 2024 Favorite Things list, with items from Kim Kardashian and John Legend.

Go directly to Amazon with the full list of Oprah’s Favorite Things 2024

Prices range from less than $20 to a $1,800 fancy espresso machine – one of the highest price points in recent years (USA Today, Yahoo Life) and include items from a bunch of everyday categories such as:

  • Kitchen
  • Tech
  • Beauty
  • Personal Care
  • Pet
  • Travel

 

The full 2024 Favorite Things list is featured in the special print holiday edition of the Oprah Daily magazine (it was on newsstands Nov. 12) and on OprahDaily.com and Amazon.

 

Oprah’s Favorite Things – Affordable Alternatives

While Oprah has a lavish and very comfortable lifestyle where she can afford many of these items like pocket change – but for the everyday middle class some of these items are just out of our spend.  We would need to “save up” for just one special item (I’m looking at you De’Longhi Expresso Machine at $1200!).
