The full list — which will appear in the December issue of O, The Oprah Magazine and is now online — includes a $2,000 exercise bike, a $900 coffee maker, and a sweat set costing nearly $300.

Though Oprah personally chooses each of the items, she doesn’t actually have a need for the $350 Bartisan cocktail maker she chose.
‘I’m lucky to have my house manager Eddie mixing fresh cocktails for me, but this mechanical bartender is a great backup,’ she said.

Introducing the list this year, Oprah insisted that there is more to the holiday season than gifts.
‘The holidays, of course, aren’t all about what’s wrapped in a bow, but also, the gift of time,’ she said.
‘Personally, I delight in Christmas Day, when we do a brunch buffet of everything from fresh blueberry muffins to shakshuka, which is sort of like huevos rancheros with a Tunisian passport.
‘Our gathering is mellow and fun and exactly how I want to wind down the year. This holiday season, I wish you excellent health, genuine happiness, and joyful days.’
Unique: This trio of flavored mustards is a more affordable gift option, and great for all those mustard enthusiasts in your life
Remember? It’s been 15 years since Oprah gave away cars to over 250 members of her studio audience
