Before I walked the hallowed halls of Good Housekeeping, I helped to launch Oprah’s website, which means I got a close look at her favorite things through the years. I mean that both loosely and literally–if you’re not familiar, each December she drops a lauded list. It’s always a great starting point for holiday shopping. I’ve been especially partial to this ceramic Brie baker that doubles as a serving plate, but I digress). As it turns out, a bevy of her most adored items are on sale for Labor Day.
Bagsmart, a brand that’s beloved by GH staffers and has been tested by the GH Institute Textiles Lab, makes Oprah’s favorite travel toiletry bag. It’s designed with four roomy compartments that zip into a compact, easy-to-carry duffel, and it’s available in 16 vibrant colors.
Fans of this brand know that it seldom goes on sale, making it a fab time to pick up one of their cheery designs.
This trendy asymmetrical bag by celeb-beloved brand JW PEI (Anne Hathaway’s a fan too) combines fashion and function. Oprah said “the strap will stay put on your shoulder even with a winter coat on.”
The Apple AirPods Pro 3 were reviewed by the Good Housekeeping Institute, and our team was impressed by the “amazing” sound quality and “comfortable, secure” fit. Plus, they can track your heart rate.
These open-toe shearling slides might just be the chicest slippers we’ve seen. Oprah calls them “stylish, sustainable, and, thanks to the sculpted arch that offers support, beyond comfortable.” Sold.
As someone who’s constantly digging through my purse to find, well, everything, I can fully see the draw of this versatile crossbody that features a handy outside phone pocket. According to Oprah, it’s “just the right size for days when you only need a few necessities.”
It may sound odd to call a kitchen appliance viral, but the Ninja CREAMi Swirl certainly is. The machine excels at turning hard-to-scoop ice cream into delectable soft serve in minutes. A perfect gift for families if you’re getting a (very) head start on holiday shopping.
The Samsung Frame Pro, a Good Housekeeping Home Reno Awards winner and top-tested television, was praised by testers for its performance and looks. Not only does the screen display bright, crystal-clear imagery, but it also can display artwork when your favorite show isn’t on.
