Oprah’s Favorite Things of 2021 is finally here to guide all of us into gifting season the right way. As expected, her choices are a solid mix of essentials, little luxuries, and unique finds, and we decided every one of her picks for the kitchen are too good to leave out. So, we’ve included all of them here so you can get to shopping faster (which we know is the name of the game this year thanks to shipping delays). You’re sure to find what you need for everyone in your life, but be prepared to want a few of them for yourself, too. In celebration of small businesses and those owned by women and people of color, Oprah’s Favorite Things includes an abundance of such brands, making it easy to shop even more meaningfully than you already do.
