If there’s one person whose holiday gift list we'd all like to copy, it’s probably Oprah. The icon is known for sharing her expert recommendations every year for everyone on your holiday shopping list — everything from a fun gift for foodies to stylish accessories. Just in time to start your holiday shopping, Oprah just released her official list of Oprah’s Favorite Things 2024, and our editors spotted so many genius finds for under $50.
While there’s always a few splurge-worthy items on the star's list of Favorite Things, we love that Oprah always makes sure to include plenty of budget-friendly picks, too. This year, our editors are spotting several under-$50 items like a $18 chic faux fur scarf that's perfect for winter bundling. Or, find creative (and thoughtful) gifts like this gourmet french fry seasoning set or a customizable sunglasses kit that's great for kids.
