Time to Shop Oprah's Favorite Things Like an Unsolicited Catalog for Rich People
LatestLook, I’m just not in a place emotionally to resist cozy loungewear right now. Are you? I thought not. And so, without further ado, some standouts from the list—available in full here—with commentary from Oprah via the Amazon gift guide and also myself:
Carl the Drinking Chocolate Snowman by Kate Weiser Chocolate, $38. Says Oprah: “If Frosty were stuffed with mini marshmallows, he’d be like Carl here. Just place this hunk of a chocolate man into a pot of milk, turn up the heat, and watch him melt into a few mugs’ worth of rich cocoa.” Says me: Okay, that is just SICK.
Dog DNA Test by Embark, $159. Says Oprah: “There’s nothing better than discovering your roots—and that goes for fur babies, too. This test reveals a dog’s genetic age and info, as well as breed breakdown, from a small sample of slobber. Incredible!” Says me: ????????????????? $159???????????????
Dog Spa Day Gift Set by Harry Barker, $49.60. Says Oprah: “It’s time to wash your pug. This cheery set includes a personalized terrycloth robe, a shea butter shampoo/conditioner, and a double-sided brush. In Harry Barker I trust.” Says me: I’m really beginning to resent how many dogs apparently live better than I do.
“What can I
6.5 Gallon Multiflavored Popcorn Tin by Popinsanity, $179.95. Says Oprah: “Pick and choose up to three flavors—I’d recommend sweet and salty, cookies and cream, and caramel-chocolate drizzle—to fill this popcorn tin, which is large enough to feed a small village. What can I say? I love a big can!” Says me: Nothing better than a trio of flavored popcorn but also how are you supposed to eat your way through that much popcorn before it goes stale?
Gourmet Bundt Cakes by We Take the Cake, $36. Says Oprah: “I like having options—particularly when those options are already-baked red velvet or Key lime or triple-chocolate or ginger spice or lemon or coconut or sour cream coffee cake Bundt cakes.” Says me: Much better than so much popcorn that I can never finish it.
“The Jumpsuit” by L.A. Relaxed, $168. Says Oprah: “Like a Onesie for grown-ups, this jumpsuit is a pleasure to wear on a long trip because you can curl up in it and still look fresh when you get where you’re going. The stripe down the leg sure does slenderize.” Says me: Spiffy in sort of a 2001: A Space Odyssey way, but there’s literally nothing I care less about from loungewear than “slenderizing.”
Hooded Snuggle Lounger by Softies, $95. Says Oprah: “I dare you to talk anybody out of wearing one of these velvety-soft pieces with a cozy kangaroo pocket every wintry weekend!” Says me: Okay, now we are talking.
Luxury Shag Throws with Pom-Poms by Peace Love Home, $69. Says Oprah: “These deliciously squishy throws are like being kissed by a thousand velvet bunny noses—a serious snuggle just waiting to happen.” Says me: I’d like one for every single room in my home, thanks.
Gemma Plush Slippers by Vionic, $79.95. Says Oprah: “These slippers aren’t just for shuffling around—with an orthotic footbed, they’re bound to put a spring in your step. I slipped them on and thought I was walking on cloud fluff.” Says me: I won’t be living my best life until I can shuffle into my kitchen at midnight to eat half a gourmet bundt cake wearing a giant velour hoodie and these babies!!!
