Oprah's Past Favorite Things - $50–$100
Take a look back at some of Oprah's past favorite things that cost anywhere from $50 to $100.
Lovely by Sarah Jessica Parker
This fragrance begins with top notes of mandarin, bergamot, rosewood, lavender and apple martini followed by mid notes of patchouli, paper whites and creamy orchid. The scent, which was one of Oprah's Favorite Things in 2005, closes on sensual base notes of cedar, white amber, musk and woods.
Claus Porto Soaps from Lafco New York
These all-natural, bath-size shea butter bars distributed by Lafco New York are a labor of love. They have been created by the Claus Porto's family-run factory in Portugal for the past 117 years. The jumbo-size soaps—an Oprah's Favorite Things pick in 2007—appeal to the senses with beautiful wrappers and 18 magnificent scents, from honeysuckle to grapefruit fig. "They make great hostess gifts," Oprah says.
Melamine Bowls, Measuring Cups and Spoons from Williams-Sonoma
The Melamine Bowls, Measuring Cups and Spoons come in a rainbow of colors to brighten up your kitchen. They feature built-in, no-spill spouts for easy pouring and can be stacked to save space. Plus, no-slip rubber rings at the base keep your bowls in place.
FitFlops
FitFlops, one of Oprah's favorite things for summer, use patent-pending technology to challenge your leg muscles with each step. They also mimic the gait of barefoot walking with more muscle load and allow for less foot-pressure concentration at the same time.
Yummie Tummie
The Yummie Tummie Original Tank comfortably smooths away unsightly lumps and bumps while adding style to your wardrobe. It's an everyday layering basic, and now it comes with a one-of-a-kind design that slims and smooths your middle. In 2008, Oprah chose this as one of her summertime favorites!
Greenberg Smoked Turkey
This family-run business spans four generations, and their turkeys are made the same way they were in the 1940s, seasoned with a family spice recipe and slow-cooked over a hickory fire. Since 2003, Oprah has loved this turkey's distinct smoky flavor!
Frederic Fekkai Crème Luxueuse
This skin cream is made with natural shea butter to help protect from moisture loss and is infused with vitamins and botanicals for superior conditioning. "It makes your body feel so silky soft," Oprah says.
Sonicare Electric Toothbrush
The Essence model is the only angled Sonic toothbrush that gives you better reach for a better clean, reaching deep between teeth while massaging gums. It also gently increases the power over the first 12 uses and features a two-minute timer to help ensure dental professional recommended brushing time. Oprah first chose this as one of her favorite things back in 1997.
Nars Kabuki Artisan Botan Brush
Modern concept and function unite with traditional Japanese culture, creating unique and versatile brush designs. Featuring super black goat hair known for its softness and strength, Kabuki Artisan brushes are designed for a variety of uses, including color application, blending, contouring and highlighting. "I love a great brush," Oprah says. "It's perfect for loose powder, for buffing and for blending."
Chantecaille Protected Paradise Compacts
Rich, shimmering corals and golds give your complexion a glow, while brilliant aquas and greens make eyes sparkle. The true beauty, though, is in creating more than just a pretty face: Five percent of proceeds go to the TRAFFIC.org, which works to ensure that trade in wild plants and animals is not a threat to the conservation of nature.
Picnic Backpack from Red Envelope
Hosting a picnic with all of your family's favorite foods just got much simpler. This canvas pack, a favorite thing in 2003, is loaded up with melamine plates, goblets, flatware and napkins for four, plus a bread knife, wooden cutting board, salt and pepper shakers and a sommelier's corkscrew. It even has a detachable wine cooler and sable-gray felt blanket.
BlackBerry 7105T from T-Mobile
In 2008, the 7105T BlackBerry was one of Oprah's favorite things. With its slim design, large high-resolution color LCD screen, Web browser, email integration and instant messaging, this cell phone had—and still has—tons of great features for people on the go.
In 2010, one of the latest BlackBerrys on the market is the BlackBerry Torch, a smartphone that features a 5-MP camera, built-in GPS functionality, 8 GB of memory, "pinch and zoom" screen, enhanced music player and much more.
Frames by Jay Strongwater
These handmade picture frames are like jewels for your home, according to Oprah. They range from $100 on up, beginning with the round 2-inch
Agatha Frame. "Every one of them is like a work of art," Oprah says. "They are gorgeous!"
