Gratitude and hammocks: Oprah’s out with her favorite things

NEW YORK » Oprah Winfrey’s back with her longest holiday gift list ever at 102 of her favorite things.

Ranging in price from free (downloads of her Super Soul Conversations podcast) to $2,000 (for a 55inch TV that morphs into a painting), Winfrey’s annual list will be featured in the December issue of O, The Oprah Magazine, including discount codes to plug into Amazon or the websites of the companies themselves.

Winfrey’s elves, the magazine’s editor-at-large Gayle King and creative director Adam Glassman, spend much of the year scouting items for the list, with Oprah herself making the final decision on what to include for everyone — men, women, pets and kids — in apparel, tech, home goods, beauty, food and other offerings.

“What Oprah always challenges us to do is to find some new brands, some indie brands, mom-andpop kind of brands. We always have a fabulous mix of tried and true, and big people, but we also like to infiltrate new brands and also brands made in the USA,” Glassman told The Associated Press in a recent interview.

Items on the list are available at Amazon.com/ Oprah. A look at a few of Oprah’s favorite things for 2017: These handblown jars on a pedestal base have wooden lids and come with 365 bronze-foil adorned cards for families to log the things they truly appreciate. $45.

Made of quick-dry fabric with a waterproof lining, these turban-style shower caps come in fun patterns and colors to make that blowout last. Oh, and there’s an adjustable knot for just the right fit. $40.
