The "O" of O believes that with gift giving, presentation is everything. So when it's time for her to choose her Favorite Things, creative director Adam Glassman and team go all out to make an artful arrangement of the delicious morsels, ingenious gadgets, gorgeous beauty goodies, and unique clothing and accessories they found in a year of searching far and wide. Oprah then rolls up her sleeves to taste, try, and touch it all. "I look at each item and ask, Would I feel good giving that?" It's a labor of love that takes hours, patience, and a lot of Weight Watchers points.
