12 Family Gifts from Oprah’s Favorite Things

"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."

As much as you love everyone in your family—and you do, of course you do—sometimes…it’s just a little too much, isn’t it? Someone’s always getting on someone else’s very last nerve. Someone’s reminding someone else they’re still vegan. Someone’s taking someone’s phone charger. And no one’s getting a good night’s sleep.

The best way to flip the script on these thoughts, and to make the most wonderful time of year just a little more wonderful? It involves one of these presents from Oprah’s Favorite Things. We’ve got things to put a smile on your face—and inspire a fun group photo. (In fact, we’ve got two of them.) We’ve got a DIY gourmet breakfast that will tempt the sleepiest relative from bed, and a decorating kit that kids celebrating Hanukkah or Christmas will love to crack open. We’ve found a special tech gift that will get everyone’s competitive juices going, and a puzzle that will bring you all together to finish it. We’ve also got the most delicious (and ginormous) cookies for you all to celebrate your successes with.

So whether it’s with your family of origin or your chosen family, we hope you’ll find joy in one of these gifts, and we wish you a happiness-filled gathering this year.

Purple Rising Puzzle Kit

Oprah, who did a lot of puzzles during the pandemic, says this 500-piece option is just complicated enough to be engaging and fun without entirely taking over your life. It features a design by Detroit-based artist Jamea Richmond-Edwards.

Holiday Cookie Kits

With freshly baked cookies, homemade frosting, and decorative sprinkles, there’s only upside to these Christmas or Hanukkah kits: No baking means no arguing over whose recipe is better, and no dishes to clean up.

My Art Books

The idea behind this series of five books is to introduce toddlers and preschoolers to diverse works of art through themes similar to their own experiences: love, friendship, sleep, happiness, and adventure. But the works by the likes of Kerry James Marshall, Mary Cassatt, Lorna Simpson, Jean Jullien, David Hockney, Henri Matisse, and Yue Minjun make them enchanting for adults as well.

Pizza Party Kit

Convenient? Yes. High-quality? Also yes. The makers behind this classic margarita-pizza kit say the secret is in their slow-cooked sauce. All you need to do is add cheese and toppings.

Volt 12 Electric Pizza Oven

The perfect companion to the dough-and-sauce kit above is this all-electric oven. It can produce the most perfectly cooked pizza in 90 seconds. (Seriously!)

Holiday Family Jammies

Perfect for the night before and the morning of, these 100 percent-cotton pj’s are sustainably made. They come in sizes for babies, kids, parents, and pets—in other words, the whole family (from $13 to $40).

Blissful Breakfast Gift Box

From their family to yours: If you’re bringing a passel of people back to Mom and Dad’s house this holiday, bring along this elevated group-breakfast-in-a-box, too, which features an assortment of gourmet delights from a Georgia farm. On the one hand, it can save them making a meal while you’re there. On the other…they could save it to toast your departure.

Meta Quest 3

Thanks to its library of 500-plus immersive apps, this mixed-reality headset will keep folks entertained for hours. The VR elements, which blend with your actual surroundings, are more realistic than ever before.

Taste of Kyri’s Kookies

“A hug in every cookie” is the motto of this delightful cookie company. Huge chocolate chunk, oatmeal cran-raisin, Georgia pecan turtle, and zebra macadamia are only a few of the varieties for your family to enjoy in this box of 12.

Holiday Sweatshirts

Designed, printed, and shipped from Fort Wayne, Indiana, this clever line is sure to make your relatives laugh. It’s also a great strategy to encourage family photos.

Celebration Collection

If you can’t make this year’s holiday gathering, send along this decadent cheese board with an award-winning blue, TomaTruffle, and more. And if you are attending, well, then hand-deliver it.

Stock the Bar

Know anyone hosting their first holiday this year? Send them this barware-in-a-box set, which will get them ready to raise a glass.
