I'm not a big Oprah fan, I am curious to see what's new, but I'm not buying any of it. I would never buy a product just because a celeb likes it, they always have an ulterior motive for promoting something.

@blackhole99
That is precisely why it irks me when Shawn mentions celebs that buy certain items; who cares!?
It factors into my decision to buy not one iota! I just like to see what's new on Oprah's list that I may not have heard of. Often times there's fun gift ideas

Oprah might have money, but she is not willing to part with it.  Many years ago she said she would not promote something as "a favorite" unless it was provided by the vendor free of charge. That is pretty much when I decided these things are not really her favorites, but rather her freebies.  


Hi Magic.  You know that I never disagree with you, LOL, but I'd like to make a comment.  I am by no means not a huge Oprah fan, but I guess I don't blame her for wanting the Companies to give these products for free to her.

 

I actually do think she really likes the products she chooses.  She just knows that they get so much free advertisement that she wants them to donate them.  They probably make far more profit off the advertisements for the products that she get them that thinks they should dontate them, LOL.  That's just my take-!

 

I think she did end up paying the taxes for all the winners of those cars that one year-such that they wouldn't have to. 

 

I do know that she wanted the IPAD the first year it came out and she had her people bother Apple for months and months.  They kept saying no and then finally caved, LOL.  Back then she had a lot of power!!  Who knows if Apple would do that now!

 

Hope you are doing well and having a great week! Smiley Happy

Thanks for posting this.  I didn't realize she still did a list. There are a lot of nice ideas.

Thanks for posting. I always like to see Oprah's favorite things, not necessarily to purchase , just for curiosity... I do really want to try Barefoot Dreams, and have a few items on my QVC Wishlist........

I hated watching her MFT things because of all the blasted screaming by the audience.  It was headache inducing to me.  However, had I been in the audience, I probably would have been screaming like a lunatic myself.  LOL

 

But, I used to watch those behind the scenes shows that Oprah did on her OWN Network.  One of the shows focused on the MFT episode and they showed how Oprah picked her products.  And no, they weren't all favorite things of her's that she used.  

 

But I still always like to see what is on her list.
