Oprah is adored by millions of women (and some men) around the world. With the holiday season approaching, you may want gifts ideas for friends and family members. Oprah has been called the Queen of media making this list suitable for fans who enjoy her show and other ventures. This is the first of a two part series for you die hard Oprah fans. If you are shopping, make sure to bookmakr this page (options are shown at the end of this post). If you aren't shopping, but are a huge Oprah fan, these tips will help you when making a holiday gift list to give to loved ones and co-workers. They are also great for pollyanna lists.

Subscription to O Magazine
I was surprised when realizing that many Oprah fans do not have a subscription to her magazine. Instead they purchase it from local book stores and news stands. This creates a great gift idea when trying to find something for a friend or family member. O, The Oprah magazine is filled with lots of advice and helpful tips for women. It is released monthly and is very inexpensive.

This is one of the great things that I noticed about O, The Oprah magazine. It is also thick and very popular. One would think that it would cost slightly more than other mainstream publications. However, it is affordable to people with almost any shopping budget. I own a few issues of the O, the Oprah magazine and must say that it is top notch. The information included covers everything from fashion, personal development, cooking, decorating to personal finances.

Oprah’s Book Club Gift Basket
There is always a recent list and archives that include books that Oprah and her club members are reading. While many fans have some of the books, there may be fantastic gifts for Oprah fans on this list. You can find out Oprah’s book club selections by visiting her website. They are all listed and easy to find. It is important to subtly find out whether or not the recipient already owns the titles that you want to purchase.

Once you have a good idea of what the person owns, the shopping can begin. Two or three books should be adequate enough. Place these Oprah book club selections in a nice basket and decorate it with chocolates or other snacks. Books are gifts for Oprah fans that will last for a long time. The TV host picked them for a good reason. Therefore, Oprah fans will get something good out of reading the book.

Tickets to the Oprah Show
Thousands of women like Oprah, but have never been a member of her live audience. If your friend or family member is one of those people, this will be a great gift idea. Since the show is taped in Chicago, this gift will require a trip to the windy city. You can either create a gift package that includes plane tickets, one night at a hotel and passes to the show. Many people do not like to participate in leisure activities alone, so it may be best to accompany the friend to Chicago.

The Oprah Boutique
This is a signature shop that features clothing, crafts, DVDs and other fun Oprah related merchandise. You can even get a special iPod cover that features the media mogul’s signature design. One of the great aspects of this shop is that all of Oprah’s merchandise is affordable. I expected to find expensive prices when reviewing some of the available items. However, I was surprised to find out that most of these gifts are under $40. These merchandise items are great gifts for Oprah fans.

Obtaining Gifts for Oprah fans
You can get all of the gift choices through one of Oprah’s online destinations. That makes it much easier to obtain gifts for Oprah fans. While there may be merchandise sold by other retailers, it is best to utilize the source. Oprah has built her own online shopping empire. All gifts for Oprah fans can be found on her website. That includes the gifts listed in this article.
