14 Holiday Foodie Must-Have Gifts from Oprah’s Favorite Things

Gorgeously assembled on an acacia wood board, this charcuterie platter has it all—and then some. Creamy goat cheese, truffle-y cheddar, Marcona almonds, and spicy tangerine-and-chili-marinated olives artfully share space with sweet jams and savory jellies. You might want to gift it to a pal or bring one as your contribution to a holiday dinner.

Pasta is a crowd-pleaser for all ages, during the holidays and all year long. This crate from Bona Furtuna, an organic farm in Sicily, comes with everything needed for a hearty dinner. The pasta is handcrafted, the marinara sauce tastes like it’s been simmering on the stove all day, and everything is presented in an adorable box decorated with tomatoes. Wins all around!

These rainbow “crocchi”—gnocchi shaped like little croissants made from dough in every color of the rainbow—put a fun spin on a pasta dinner. But they’re also delicious: The pasta is handmade and gets its color from vegetables like spinach, beets, and cabbage.

Gambian chef Jainaba Jeng created her company to bring African flavors to a wider audience, and with this set, she took inspiration from Zanzibar, Somalia, Gambia, and Senegal. The sauces comes in varying spice levels and are a speedy way to add flavor to dishes—so your most gourmand friends will truly appreciate the gift.

This unique twist on the go-to sweet potato pie combines moist, light cake with cream cheese frosting for a perfect bite of sweet and tangy. It looks—and tastes—like something you picked up at a quaint farm bakery, but with fast shipping, it can be at your mom or sister’s doorstep in a matter of days.

Compartes, the family-owned company that makes this gift, uses California-grown fruits (including apricots, strawberries, and more) for the decadent chocolates. Bonus: with such a pretty box, you won't even have to worry about gift wrapping.

Any foodie will adore this set of artisan olive oils—which look just as good as they taste. The four flavors (lemon, garlic, basil, and chili) are delicious in a variety of ways. When including them in her 2022 Favorite Things, Oprah suggested serving with salads or slices of crusty bread.

“When my daughter-girls come to visit, we almost always do a movie night,” Oprah says. “And, of course, a big bowl of popcorn is a must.” Gift this to your fave foodie or movie buff—the accompanying oil is infused with rosemary, peppercorns, and bay leaves for a layered, sophisticated flavor. (Microwave popcorn could never.)

Oprah has loved this sweet treat for years, and it's actually her go-to bread for Christmas morning French toast. “Roy Shvartzapel spent a decade perfecting how to make this Italian sweet bread—and boy, did he ever!” she said in her 2022 Favorite Things.

For your friend or family member who loves nothing more than curling up with a cozy cup of cocoa, buy this pack of three delicious flavors (toasted marshmallow and salted caramel are especially exciting). Plus, each is made at the family-owned farm that gives the business its name.

If you have an indecisive friend—or just need a present for someone who likes everything—this cookie pack is the right choice. It comes with all of the San Diego-based company's best flavors, including birthday cake, red velvet, and lemon bar, and everything is baked to order.

This is a statement-making gift that any foodie (especially one with a sweet tooth) will appreciate. Oprah's suggestion for serving? “Use this maple syrup to sweeten beverages, on top of pancakes and waffles, or on plain Greek yogurt.”

The funky flavors in this jam set (hot pepper jelly, lemon curd, and strawberry-rhubarb) are sure to add something special to your giftee's kitchen. Plus, they're all made in small batches to ensure each jar is perfect.

This brand is Oprah's all-time favorite. The black truffle hot sauce is her holy grail, but this set amps it up with truffle salt and truffle oil, too. “I dare you to find a better hot sauce,” Oprah says.
