It must be time to start your holiday shopping (and make your own wishlist), because Oprah has just dropped her Favorite Things List for 2020. This year, the tastemaker is focusing on gifts from Black-owned small businesses, so you’ll find some unique items on the list that you might not otherwise find on Amazon.

The list is long, so we’ve combed through it and rounded-up the nine best Oprah picks for travelers.
