Waiting until Black Friday to start your holiday shopping? I don’t blame you — and that’s saying something since I’m Yahoo’s gifting editor. Amazon, Walmart and other top retailers are already slashing prices on this year’s best Christmas gifts — including tech standouts, kitchen appliances and buzzy picks that earned Oprah’s stamp of approval. That’s right, there are tons of Black Friday deals on Oprah’s Favorite Things happening as we speak.
From ultra-cozy Dearfoams slippers at a 50% discount to trendy tumbler under $20 (take that, Stanley!), now’s the time to nab Lady O’s all-time faves from this year and years past. The media mogul has a lot of pull, so grab anything that catches your eye pronto — these picks are sure to sell out with prices this low.
Not all sales are created equal, so rest assured that I sifted through pages of Amazon’s Black Friday deals to compile the best of the best below. Consider this list my gift to you.
The weather outside is frightful, but these gloves are so delightful. “You can’t do better than this fun checkered design; and yes, the index fingertip works with touchscreens,” Oprah raved back in 2023.
A stylish Amazon shopper echoed Oprah’s words: “The plaid fleece is nice and soft, while the faux suede looks and feels like the real thing … but it’s washable!”
Select colors, including black and pink, are just $12 for Black Friday — the lowest price we’ve seen since Prime Day.
Oprah loves a solid pair of slippers as much as the next person. (See? Stars are just like us!) These cozy slip-ons are her most recent faves — they have a chic faux-fur collar,
a textured knit exterior and a much-appreciated memory foam insole. Plus, as she put it, they’re a great way to deliver “relaxation-in-a-box to your nearest and dearest.”
All nine colors are on sale, but some have steeper discounts than others. Go with navy or black to get the most bang for your buck — they’re half off!
Our Senior Tech Writer, Rick Broida, said that his digital picture frame makes him “happier than just about anything else” in his home. Oprah shared similar sentiments back in 2021, writing that the “digital memory-keeper is the perfect gift for all relatives.”
Now on sale for 20% off, this top-rated pick will put thousands of sweet, silly snaps on display for all to see. You can even preload photos and configure it for the recipient’s Wi-Fi network before gifting, so they can put it to use right away.
“Nobody wants their jewelry jingle-jangling freely in their suitcase,” Oprah mused in 2022. Small but mighty, this “jazzy velvet travel case” has seven slots, removable dividers, ring rolls and a hidden earring compartment.
All colors come in under $20 except for magenta. You’ll have to splash out for that one — it’s a whopping $21.
Finding the perfect pair of noise-cancelling headphones is no easy feat, but it seems like Oprah has cracked the code. The media mogul swears by “all things Beats.”
She’s raved about Powerbeats Pro wireless earbuds in the past, but the last two years, have been all about the brand’s more recent model, the Studio Pro. “Some of us are over-the-head-headphone people, and if you know one of them, these are the best of the best,” she wrote last year. Nab select colors for 30% off.
A listening ear is often the best gift you can give. “These journals, which focus on treasured relationships, feature specific prompts so you can sit with your beloved family member to capture old stories and new memories alike,” Oprah wrote.
Let Grandpa join in on the fun too. Pick up a journal for him, also 40% off.
These days, everyone has a “big dumb cup” — Oprah included. Her pick: Corkcicle’s insulated tumbler, which keeps drinks cold for up to 12 hours and hot up to five. It’s dishwasher-safe, virtually spill-proof and cupholder-friendly — not all of which can be said for some of the trendiest tumblers on the market.
Snag this punchy coral for half off or opt for the lavender one that caught Oprah’s eye back in 2023, now just $25.
Oprah said it: “Sleeping with a mask is life-changing — I cannot tell you how much the quality of my sleep has improved!” Her go-to: This pure silk one, which is filled with lavender buds and flax seeds for ultimate relaxation. It “stays down and doesn’t let even a pinch of light in.”
Want to amp things up? Slide in the included gel mask to depuff tired eyes or wrap the whole mask in a warm, moist towel to relieve headaches. Get quality R&R for just $14 — a steal if there ever was one!
