"Hostess gifts" are no longer what you give when you're invited for dinner or the weekend—it's what the hostess gives you to say thanks for coming.

"When friends come to stay with me, I offer my home as a gift, a warm embrace," says Oprah. "I know that whatever I've had has always been better if I share it, whether it's roller skates or a Hershey's bar. And for my friends—my claimed family—hospitality is an extension of myself, an extension of grace and kindness."

So what would you find in your gift basket if you stayed at Oprah's house? Your goodies might include:

1. Egyptian cotton bathrobe from Turnbull & Asser (turnbullandasser.com)
2. Linen-trimmed cotton pajamas from Olatz Inc. (olatz.com)
3. Beauty products, like Jo Malone's grapefruit shower gel, shampoo and cologne (866-566-2566)
4. Chocolate bars laced with exotic ingredients like chiles, curry or ginger by Vosges (vosgeschocolate.com)
5. Books, like Toni Morrison's The Bluest Eye
6. Towels, washcloths and sponges from Waterworks (waterworks.com)
7. Homemade cookies baked by Oprah's personal chef, Art Smith
8. Ice-cold milk in old-fashioned glass bottles from the organic Straus Family Creamery (strausmilk.com)
