Nothing says holidays like " Oprah's Favorite Things." The legendary talk-show host is back with her hand-picked selections, which are sure to be at the top of many wish-lists this season.
While the list features luxurious items with a hefty price tag (a $3,099 Q37ci elliptical trainer and $4,999 HD 46-inch entertainment system from Bose), " Good Morning America" got a sneak peek of Winfrey's top five favorites under $100. At that price point, these picks are things you'll love to give or keep for yourself.
Adam Glassman, creative director of O, The Oprah Magazine, who worked with Winfrey since May to narrow it down to the 49 products that made the final list, appeared live on "Good Morning America" today.

- These 12 gorgeous toxin-free nail polishes were all hand-curated by Winfrey and come in this limited-edition, white lacquer box that makes a fun gift for the holidays. Exclusively for O, The Oprah Magazine, the 12 nail polishes are originally $168, but are now $84 w/code OPRAH on julep.com .
2. Yedi Housewares Sauce Trays
