Oprah Put Meghan’s As Ever Basket on Her 2026 Favorite Things List

Remember when Oprah gave everyone in the audience a car?

Her Favorite Things list has been the unofficial start of holiday shopping ever since. You don’t get a car, but you do get a very good idea of what’s about to sell out. This year a duchess made the cut.

What actually happened

Oprah Daily published Oprah’s Favorite Things 2026 on Nov. 12. In the food section is The Signature Basket from As Ever, the lifestyle brand from Meghan, Duchess of Sussex. It’s a wicker picnic hamper with fruit spreads, chocolates, herbal teas and a candle, listed at $250. “Who doesn’t love a beautifully made picnic hamper?” Oprah wrote, adding that it was “all curated by the Duchess herself.”

The wellness picks are a mix of gadgets and bath time. There’s the Withings Body Scan scale ($400 at Withings), Hyperice Normatec Elite compression boots ($1,099) and WeGym Progrip dumbbells with a rack ($413). For the bath, she picked Musee Bath Breathe bath tablets ($32) and Esker The Bubble Soak ($75). Oprah suggests the Musee tablets for anyone who “needs a hard stop between daytime and bedtime.”

Truff is back too. Oprah says it’s about the sixth time the truffle hot sauce brand has made her list.

Our read: wellness is now a gift category

This is our read. A few years ago the list was mostly sweaters and kitchen gadgets. Now it has a body scan scale, recovery boots and two kinds of bath soak, which tells you how much wellness has moved into everyday shopping. If you want more ideas, our WellWham Edit of wellness gifts is a good place to start.

Reality check

A spot on Oprah’s list is a recommendation, not a review or proof that anything works. Prices are as listed on Oprah Daily and can change, and some of the store links on that page can earn it a commission. Gadget claims, like what a smart scale measures, come from the companies that make them.

The close

Nobody’s getting a car this year. But somebody on your list might get a duchess’s picnic basket.
