Oprah’s Kristy’s favourite things

Every year, just in time for Christmas, Oprah does a show about her favourite things. Of course she spells it ‘favorite’ but that’s another story. This year I was so disappointed with her list (apart from the gelato and ugg boots) that I decided to print my own!

Admittedly she has 20 and I could only come up with 10, but it’s a start.

1. Sun Jars £20. This was my fave birthday present. It captures the day’s sunlight and stores it away to reuse at nighttime.
2. Muji notepads £0.60. These notepads rock! They’re affordable, adorable, fit in any purse and are such fun to write in. I always have one with me to jot down random ideas, websites I want to look up etc.
3. Lindt Advent Calendars. Advent calendars are great fun, and one with Lindt chocolates hidden inside is even better!
4. Clinique colour surge butter shine lipstick in Berry Blush, £12 (or US$14). Feels smooth but not sticky. Love it.
5. Preserved calvados pears £10.95. I haven’t bought these yet but I can’t wait. They look so tempting!
6. Slipper socks with those little gripper bits on the bottom. They’re adorable no matter what your age!
7. “Brain training” for the Nintendo DS. Any game that you can play under the guise of learning gets my vote. And it’s got me completely hooked on sudoku too.
8. d’Arenberg d’Arry’s Original Grenache Shiraz. This Aussie wine is delish!
9. Reusable shopping bags. I always have one of these with me because they pack down so much smaller than a Woolies canvas one. They make a great gift too (thanks Suz!).
10. Cuddles. Need I say more?
