Looking for some holiday gift-giving inspo? Making your shopping list just got easier, thanks to a little help from one of TV's favorite talk-show hosts: Oprah Winfrey herself.

It's no wonder that Oprah's middle name is Gail because we might as well just call her the OG (via Encyclopedia.com). This actor and media mogul has dominated daytime television for decades, not to mention her time spent hosting awards shows, writing books, and even launching her own magazine. She is an icon of fashion and femininity on her own terms. So who better to provide perfect gift ideas for beauty lovers and self-care queens?
