Oprah Winfrey’s favourite things for 2013

Monogram Gloves, $250: “Made of supple Italian leather and lined with cashmere, these gloves are already pretty close to perfect. But add a hand-painted custom monogram by artist Logan Real, and I’m so sold.” — Oprah

Susan Hanover Earrings, $220: “These earrings are just the right combination of pretty (coloured gems) and interesting (they’re encircled in oxidized sterling silver and crystals). Bonus: They look much more expensive than they actually are.”— Oprah

Oprah & Deepak’s Meditation Master Trilogy, $100: “You’ll be profoundly changed by this meditation experience that I created with my friend Deepak Chopra. Whether you’re a first-time meditator or have been doing it for years, this master trilogy — available via CD or download — will help light a path to your most abundant destiny.” — Oprah

Organic Cotton Pajamas, $74: “Now, this is the kind of thing I prefer to sleep in, because it feels like a second skin. Made of supersoft organic pima cotton, these pajamas come in three colors — my favorite is this chartreuse.” — Oprah

Present Cake, $79: “Calling Sam Godfrey a baker doesn’t do the man justice: He is the Matisse of desserts. His latest creation is this moist, delicious chocolate cake, layered with salted caramel truffle cream and wrapped in fondant and a white-chocolate bow. It’s a happy way to end a holiday dinner.” — Oprah

High Tea Collection Nail Polishes, $65: “I absolutely love this set. Not only are all the lacquers toxin-free, they come in a range of colors, because ‘nude’ means different things to different people.” — Oprah

SeeHome Desk Magnifier, $49: “These reading glasses come in 12 stylish frame colours and are chained to a weighted base, so you can keep them on a desk or kitchen counter in, well, plain sight.” — Oprah

Himalayan Salt Shot Glasses, $45: “I prefer my tequila chased with salt and lime, and these shot glasses —carved from high-quality Himalayan salt — are perfect, no extra salt necessary.” — Oprah

Genevieve Boots, $300: “Love, love, love! I think these new tall boots from Ugg Australia are gorgeous — they can be worn up or cuffed down, and the leather bow and piping make them extra special. Uggs are still the warmest boots I own.” — Oprah

Sweater Mugs, $50: “Snuggle up to your hot chocolate with these big dishwasher-safe porcelain mugs, jazzed up in the same design as my favorite sweater.” —Oprah

Circle Candlestick Holders, $75-$150: “Don’t you just hate it when you’re at a dinner party and the centrepiece is blocking your view? Well, these elegant, 24kt-gold-plated candlestick holders eliminate the problem — and they’re O shaped to boot!” — Oprah

Toulouse Jewellery Box, $295: “Here’s one storage item you won’t want to stash away: This velvet-lined jewellery box by design guru Jonathan Adler has a glossy orange marbled exterior and gold foil details, making it as stylish as the baubles you’ll put inside.”— Oprah

Quilted Nylon Barn Jacket, $128: “I’m crazy about barn jackets, and this is the best of the bunch — diamond-quilted nylon in jewel tones with fancy embellishments like contrasting corduroy trim and a printed lining.”— Oprah

Kindle Paperwhite, $119: “Take this reader to the beach! A higher-contrast screen cuts glare outdoors, while a built-in light reduces eyestrain indoors. An orange leather cover makes it feel like a treasured volume.” — Oprah

Dog Toy Set and Bin, $68: “What do you get the dog who has everything? Well, maybe just a little bit more! Squeaky, durable, and eco-friendly, these chew toys — made in two sizes so both little and big dogs can play—are a guaranteed pup pleaser.” —Oprah

Carmona Canape and Dessert Plates, $30-$52: “The only thing more chic than a white bone-china plate is a white bone-china plate with a fabulous shape. Event planner Tammy Carmona designed these.” — Oprah

T-fal ActiFry, $250: “Anyone who follows me on Instagram knows that I went gaga over this gadget, which lets you fry four servings of potatoes using only a tablespoon of oil. A truly low-fat French fry! Heaven has arrived.” — Oprah

PerfecTemp Cordless Electric Kettle, $100: “I couldn’t get by without my tea; I keep this electric kettle in my office so I can brew the perfect cup anytime. It boils up in a flash and — because different teas require different degrees of heat — it has six temperature settings.” — Oprah
