January 1, Oprah’s Gift Picks Spotlight Markle and Kardashian

Wyatt’s Take

• Oprah’s annual list features products from elite friends.
• Meghan Markle’s expensive jams and Kim Kardashian’s pajamas make the cut.
• Hollywood keeps promoting its own in these high-priced guides.

Oprah Winfrey has released her 2025 Favorite Things List, and it’s packed with pricey products from celebrity friends like Meghan Markle and Kim Kardashian. The list, which she started back in 1996, sorts gifts into categories like food, travel, and wellness.

This year, Meghan Markle’s “As Ever” Signature Fruit Spread is showcased in the food section, selling for $42 a box. The set includes orange marmalade, strawberry jam, and raspberry jam.

“Before my neighbor Meghan started her business, she shared her homemade recipes with us,” Winfrey said in her gift guide.

She added more praise, saying, “I love to drizzle it on an English muffin or yogurt or ice cream. I also love bringing a jam or preserves as a hostess gift, and with this pretty box set of orange marmalade and raspberry and strawberry spreads, just add a bow and you’re ready to go.”

Markle’s brand celebrated making the list, telling subscribers, “We’re honored to be included in the season’s quintessential guide to gifting. So much love is poured into each recipe, to bring the brightness and warmth of the garden to your home in every season.”

Kim Kardashian’s Skims pajama set also got a nod from Oprah, with Winfrey claiming she owns three pairs. The set costs $128 and was called “whisper-soft” and “the kind of set you never want to take off.”

Shay Mitchell’s BÉIS luggage line earned a spot too. Oprah’s friend Gayle King endorsed it, noting, “I love a matched set, and these, in high-fashion colors, are easy to pick out at the baggage carousel.”

Some of Oprah’s picks can be bought through Amazon. This comes after she attended a high-profile Italian wedding for Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez.

Oprah has long had ties with Meghan Markle, including that explosive interview in 2021 that aired the royal couple’s grievances with both family and media. Markle and her husband left royal duties in 2020, unhappy with public scrutiny and media treatment going back to her marriage to Prince Harry in 2018.

The couple’s final royal appearance came at Westminster Abbey in 2020, followed by the birth of daughter Lilibet in 2021.
