It's time!

Oprah Winfrey once again announces the start of the holiday season with her annual list of favorites, and USA TODAY has an exclusive first look at the 2024 list.

This year's list offers plenty of choice, with 116 selections, slightly more than 2023's 112 items, with the majority of selections coming from small businesses or women-, LGBTQ+, Latino, and Black-owned businesses.

“One of my favorite things about this time of year is how open people are to spreading goodwill, and every gift you offer is an opportunity to show someone how much you appreciate them – an opportunity to say, 'You are important to me and me.' “I am so grateful to have you in my life,” Winfrey said in a statement about her latest offerings.

Prices range from less than $20 ($12 for Soap Sox, adorable animal-shaped bath scrubbers for kids, and $19 for Grandparents' Memory Journals from Insight Editions) to a fancy espresso machine for $1,800 – one of the highest prices in recent years.

The full list will be published in the special holiday edition of Oprah Daily magazine (on newsstands November 12), as well as on OprahDaily.com and Amazon. This year marks the tenth anniversary of Winfrey and her team's collaboration with the mega-retailer. “For over 10 years, we have had a partnership with Amazon that has allowed us to shine a spotlight on over 1,000 favorite things, many of which come from small business owners and entrepreneurs who have helped bring these gifts to people around the world “world,” Winfrey said in the statement.

Get a first look at 16 highlights from Oprah's 2024 gift list:

Popsmith's “The Popper.”

The holiday season is all about making homemade comfort: hot chocolate, cookies, and now, with this chic stovetop popper, popcorn. The bright yellow color scheme adds a fun (and themed) touch to your kitchen and allows you to make popcorn to your liking. $199.

Tatcha Body Products

“This is a favorite thing,” Winfrey writes, “with the scent of a forest that my neighbor Meghan sent me.” That's Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, for the uninitiated, who is with her husband Prince Harry near Winfrey in the lives in the exclusive neighborhood of Montecito in Southern California. Winfrey says she keeps this selection of Tatcha's Hinoki Body Wash, Hinoki Body Milk and Hinoki Body Oil within reach, “right next to the tub.” $34, $48, $58respectively.

Beats Studio Pro x Kim Kardashian headphones

Winfrey's celebrity friends don't stop with the royals. Kim Kardashian, a queen from Calabasas, California, is at the top of the list with her collaboration with Beats for skin-colored over-head headphones. $350.

These coupe glasses are the perfect addition to any home bar or holiday soirée. The wavy design and fun colors make events feel special and can serve everything from champagne and mocktails to sorbet and ice cream in the warmer months. $65.

“Priceless Facts About Money” by Mellody Hobson

A children's book to promote financial literacy is an interesting and crucial addition to the list to give the little ones in your life a head start on learning about money. But Winfrey expects that, like her, “many adults will also learn fun facts about money.” $20.

Sneex The Icon shoe

The Sneex shoe is one of the more expensive – and polarizing – favorites on this year's list. The style of the shoe, a sneaker-meets-high-heel design created by Spanx founder Sara Blakely, caused division among buyers, but Winfrey says best friend Gayle King wore them “for 12 hours straight.” !

King himself said: “I love, love, love these! I’ve worn them to concerts, sporting events, the red carpet, and from one end of an airport to the other.” $395.

Sweet July Edgewater Collection Coffee Cup Set

These speckled mugs come from Sweet July, the lifestyle brand from celebrity chef (and wife of NBA star Steph Curry) Ayesha Curry, who “understands that some of us want our hot coffee (or hot chocolate) just as hot.” Winfrey writes. $36.

WS Game Co. Vintage Bookshelf Edition Board Games

Is it the holidays when someone isn't crying over Monopoly? These compact, vintage versions of popular board games from Boggle to Candy Land (or Scrabble and Mystery Date, Oprah and Gayle's favorites) make a lovely addition to your bookshelf and are well-suited to a player trying to mature into the game but still loves. Starting at $42.

Saysh The Evelyn runner sneakers

An Olympic track star probably knows a thing or two about a good sneaker. Former Olympic medalist Allyson Felix created these running shoes designed specifically for a woman's foot, perfect for making your New Year's resolution to run more a reality. $185.

Brandon Blackwood Duffle Nia Bag

A new bag is on the scene. Brandon Blackwood's luxe duffle Nia bag is turning heads with Winfrey, who said, “Seriously, this huge duffle has everything in it.” (She also added Telfar's $280 Medium Puff Shopper Bag, a brand she had previously endorsed. “I've already picked up Telfar's coveted bags – last year in a special purple color – and now I've chosen his quilted shopper in the same colors as his coats, also on this list! ) $300.

De'Longhi Eletta Explore espresso machine with cold brew

How much would you spend on the perfect cup of coffee?

This year, the most expensive item on the list isn't the Theragun Prime Plus at $399, the Café Couture Oven with Air Fry at $449, or the Telfar Puff Hoodie Coat at $545.

Instead, it's perhaps one of the fanciest espresso machines known to mankind, costing just under $2,000. Apparently it “grinds coffee beans, makes lattes, cappuccinos, espresso, cold brew” and 50 other recipes, and if you do girl math, it can pay for itself replacing your daily little coffee treats. It's that Oprah espresso. $1,800.

Bonilla a la Vista potato chips

King said she takes a family photo in these “every year, and I always look forward to seeing which one Oprah chooses.” $13 to $40.
