Oprah made her list, now we're checking it twice. Every November, Lady O kicks off the holiday shopping season by releasing her annual gift guide, aptly named Oprah's Favorite Things List. This year's list is bigger and better than ever, with gift ideas spanning from the latest and greatest in tech to edible favorites and beauty must-haves. There are fur-lined slippers, touchscreen-friendly gloves, an ultra-soothing body butter, light-up beanies and so much more.

Sure, Oprah appreciates the finer things in life, but she's also included tons of affordable picks that make great stocking stuffers or small add-ons for the hard-to-shop-for people on your list. Keeping that in mind, we've sifted through her faves to find the most accessible products — I'm talking $50 or less at Amazon — so you don't have to break the bank to shop like Oprah.

The media mogul has a lot of pull (clearly), so don't wait to grab anything that catches your eye since there's a chance they'll sell out between now and Christmas. And while you're at it, check out our main Christmas gift guide, along with our curated lists for him and her. 'Tis the season for shopping!

"This good-looking pom-pom beanie has a rechargeable light, which makes it ideal for walks with the dog or a jog when the sun sets just a little too early," Oprah said. Enjoy up to 10 hours of battery life, then recharge it in under two hours.

This isn't the first time Dearfoams has made Oprah's list, but these slippers perfectly merge comfortable and cute — and they come in 12 colors and prints.

This is the kind of mug you want to sip steaming tea from all winter long. Each one of these ceramic pieces is handmade, so each is really special — for gifting and for keeping for yourself.

"Ayesha Curry, founder of Sweet July, understands that some of us want our hot coffee (or hot chocolate) to be just that — hot. And is there a better-looking option than these 16-ounce hand-thrown ceramic mugs," asked Lady O.
