The Best Gifts for Busy People from Oprah’s Favorite Things 2022

The holidays often present a conundrum: There’s lots of stuff we want to do, lots of stuff we have to do, and not enough time to do it all. That’s why some of our favorite gifts are the ones that make life a little more efficient for the person who tries to do it all. Take, for instance, the friend whose days are scheduled down to the minute: She’ll love a tote that fits all her essentials and helps her look pulled together no matter how chaotic her iCal is. And for the bride diving into wedding planning, we offer up something unexpected: soap that doubles as a jewelry cleaner, so she can keep her hands clear of germs while keeping her rings looking sparkly and new. This year, show the people on your holiday list how much they mean to you with these pieces (all from small businesses!) that they’ll reach for on busy days.
