Oprah's Favorite Things 2012
Oprah picked and planned, tasted and touched, sniffed and snuggled her way through hundreds of items to determine her favorite things to give this holiday.
O, The Oprah Magazine | October 30, 2012
"Pipcorn is a hulless variety of popcorn, which means it's crunchy yet tender. It's also naturally grown, popped in small batches using extra-virgin olive oil, and extremely tasty. Brother-sister team Jeff and Jen Martin took me up on my suggestion to add flavors like lemon truffle along with their signature rosemary, resulting in one of my very favorite things."—Oprah
$88 for set of four flavors | PipSnacks.com
"Everything you need to make a brilliant Moscow Mule, including my personal recipe. I suggest drinking at least two when you're at Yosemite trying to pitch a tent in the rain with Gayle King."—Oprah
Originally $145, now $131 with code OPRAH (expires Dec 31, 2012) | MelandRose.com
"Gayle fell hard for this blue velvet cake with cream cheese icing and sugar snowflakes. Just add coffee, milk, or a flute of Champagne."—Oprah
Originally $42, now $34 with code OPRAH (expires Dec 31, 2012) | CarouselCakes.com
"Andre, my friend/hair guru for the past 200 years, turned me on to these two luscious organic chai masalas, and now I drink them every day. I add a little steamed almond milk for a lot of extra tranquility."—Oprah
Originally $85, now $68 with code OPRAH (expires Dec 31, 2012) | Bellocq.com
"I truly appreciate people who are excellent at what they do, and the folks who handcraft this incredibly smooth tequila are masters. Forget the lime, skip the ice, and just savor it like fine wine."—Oprah
$275.00 | WallyWine.com
"I love a good scone with jam, but thanks to savory herbs, these spreads are wonderful in a panini, with goat cheese, even as a glaze on ham or Cornish hens. The peach, pepper, and ginger is my favorite."—Oprah
Originally $36, now $29 with code OPRAH (expires Dec 31, 2012) | SalliesGreatest.com
"I challenged O's creative director, Adam Glassman, to find me a bite-size, 100-calorie piece of dark chocolate made with 67 percent cocoa, and he did it, with 10 calories to spare! It's a gift for every day of the week."—Oprah
Originally $68, now $54 for 30-day box with code OPRAH (expires Dec 31, 2012) | DarkSecretChocolate.com
"Mellowed in French oak barrels, this traditional tequila makes for a lovely drink and an even lovelier gift."—Oprah
$52.00 | AstorWines.com
"Proof that minimal ingredients—pasture-raised heritage pork, sea salt, and black truffle—can create spectacular complexity."—Oprah
$50 | CharlitosCocina.com
"How do I love truffle butter? Let me count the ways. On a baked potato, on grilled steak, on a sourdough baguette. The truffle salt turns scrambled eggs, popcorn, even plain old cottage cheese into a major thrill."—Oprah
Originally $21 to $39, now $17 to $31 with code OPRAH (expires Dec 31, 2012) | Urbani.com
"A little goes a long way, so drizzle carefully. Or give these intense truffle oils to a foodie friend, along with a slicer and a black winter truffle, and hope for a dinner invitation."—Oprah
Originally $26 to $80, now $21 to $64 with code OPRAH (expires Dec 31, 2012) | SabatinoAndCo.com
"Pure happiness: All this incredible risotto requires is water; I pair the truffle breadsticks with truffle butter; and what can I say about walking into a kitchen with a pot of truffle pasta bubbling on the stove?"—Oprah
Originally $8 to $27, now $6.50 to $22 with code OPRAH (expires Dec 31, 2012) | BuonItalia.com
