It’s easy to see how these babies made the list. These PUDUS Brand Slipper Socks are super cozy and super cute.

They’re available in a wide range of colours and patterns at London Drugs. They’ll make a great gift for pretty much anyone on your list.

Oprah says: “I put on these cozy sock slippers for the Favourite Things shoot, and I loved them! So will anyone you give them to, from toddlers to grandmas.

We all have that one friend that’s always cold. Well here’s your chance to bundle them up in something luxuriously cozy! Coatology’s Classic Long Vests come in a selection of eye-catching hues and neutral shades, so you can find their favourite colour. They’re filled premium down and have an ultra lightweight techno fabric exterior, with a shaped fit. There’s even a matching mini travel pouch included so it’s easy to stow away.

Oprah says: “Want to take the chill off your outdoor life? You’ll stay cozy in this light down-filled vest. The thigh-covering length and shapely cut will boost your look from meh to marvelous.”

5. Cuisinart Air Fryer Convection Oven (Available at London Drugs)

The Cuisinart AirFryer Convection Oven is a true multitasker. It’s a premium full-size toaster oven that also features a built-in air fryer. So it can bake, broil, toast, and air-fry all in one. Air frying uses ultra powerful hot air to prepare your usual fried favourites, like French fries or even a full-sized chicken, in a healthier way. This appliance is meant to sit on your countertop, rather than being stowed away in a cupboard like most deep fryers, since you’ll get lots of regular use out of its toaster oven features.

Oprah says: “A toaster oven that bakes, broils, toasts, and has a built-in air fryer? What else can you ask for?” 

6. Barefoot Dreams Luxe Milk Jersey Piped Pajama Set (Available at Barefoot Dreams)

Time to toss those holey old sweatpants, and finally lounge in luxury! These Luxe Milk Jersey Piped Pajama Sets are made in the classic borrowed-from-the-boys style. The piping gives them a refined look, but the fit is all about relaxation.

Oprah says: “I am a student of pajamas. In fact, the reason I started Favourite Things 21 years ago was that I had a great pair to share. The only drawback with my latest loves is that they’re so soft and stretchy, you won’t want to wear anything else.”

7. Bellocq Chai Gift Set (Available at Bellocq)

Perfect hostess gift alert! This set of fine chai blends from Bellocq comes packaged in two yellow, handcrafted traveller caddies, tied with ribbons and ready to gift. There’s even a hand-woven, silver-plated tea strainer included. The two teas, No. 18 Afghani Chai and No. 39 Hindu Holiday, are heartily spiced and perfectly indulgent. Use the code OPRAH for 20% off.

Oprah says: “These need to be sipped and seen. The canisters are as elegant as it gets. As for the organic loose-leaf teas: Canyon Chai and caffeine-free, fair-trade Hindu Holiday are spiced with cardamom, ginger, and rose petals.” 

8. Philips Sonicare DiamondClean Electric Toothbrush (Available at London Drugs)

Say hello to the Ferrari of electric toothbrushes. The Philips Sonicare DiamondClean Electric Toothbrush has a special Deep Clean mode for an invigorating clean. Plus, the AdaptiveClean and DiamondClean brush heads will provide your pearly whites with 10x more plaque removal, versus a manual toothbrush. That means healthier gums and whiter teeth in just 2 weeks! The brush comes with a chic Charger Glass that you can simply place the toothbrush in to charge. The Charging Travel Case charges via USB or wall outlet, so you can take your DiamondClean on-the-go anywhere!

Oprah says: “The first Sonicare made the list 20 years ago, and it’s only gotten better – literally one of my favourite things that I use twice a day. This year’s version is a smart toothbrush with an app that gives feedback on brushing habits, four super effective brush heads for different cleaning modes, and sensors to adjust intensity or tell you if you missed a spot. Trust me, you’ll look for excuses to brush.” 

9. Louvelle Dahlia Shower Cap (available at Louvelle Wear)

Bodysuits are all the rage for adults and babies alike this year. These extra adorable little bodysuits (read: onesies) from Rock Scissor Paper have totally stolen our hearts. Our favourite? Definitely the ‘Future is Female’ bodysuit. We wish that one came in adult sizes too!
