Oprah's Favorite Things list is here for 2023, and it includes tons of great finds. Every year, Oprah and the Favorite Things team test and vet every product, highlighting products from small businesses and items that Oprah herself uses every day (like Truff hot sauce and Peepers eyewear). “That’s what’s so pure about this list,” says Adam Glassman, Oprah Daily’s creative director (and longtime Oprah’s Favorite Things wrangler). “They really are her favorite things.”

The list spans categories ranging from fashion and beauty, food and appliances, cozy and wellness, and kids and pets, ranging at all price points — but if you're shopping on a budget, you've come to the right place. We reviewed the products in each of these categories to find the very best items for under $50. Whether you're looking to start your holiday shopping or treat yourself to something new, our budget-friendly picks from the 2023 list won't disappoint.

We love the moisture-rich ingredients this bubble bath has, like avocado oil, honey extract, and more. Plus, the bottle itself is gorgeous and something you'll actually want to display in your bathroom.

What Oprah says: “I chose a Lollia bubble bath — my absolute favorite—two decades ago, and I still have the original bottle by my tub. This year’s White Amber & Mirabelle offering is just as luxurious—and comes in bath salts, too.”
