11 Splurges from Oprah's Favorite Things
"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."
It's hard to think of a better feeling than giving someone exactly what they want — that they would never buy themselves. With that goal in mind, the items on this list are all unadulterated splurges — which doesn't mean they all cost a bajillion dollars. (One is under $100, and several are under $200.) They're simply things that, for one reason or another, someone you love might have on their mental wish list yet never, ever quite pulled the trigger on purchasing.
There are many possible explanations for this: Some people have trouble buying a product that does just one thing — even when it does that one thing amazingly well. Others tell themselves they can make do with what they have, even if what they have doesn't really do the job anymore. Still others always choose only to spoil their nearest and dearest, taking joy in giving, not receiving.
So this year, find something on this list from Oprah's Favorite Things that's absolutely right for someone who absolutely will appreciate it: The pizza maker who wants to step up his game. The beauty lover who wants to bring the spa experience home. The music lover who wants to feel they're out at the concert without leaving the couch.
One other thing to remember about splurge gifts is that many of them, including several of those here, perfectly suit the common tradition in some families of pooling resources on a group gift. So take a look, and bring some unexpected gratitude into a loved one's holiday season.
