Gift Vendors React to Being an Oprah 2018 Favorite

Sporting a total of 107 gifts, in categories ranging from ‘Cozy Things,’ to ‘Tech Gadgets,’ Oprah Winfrey’s 2018 Favorite Things is her longest holiday gift guide yet. Many top Gifts & Decorative Accessories vendors made the cut this year and some are even repeat honorees. So what’s Oprah crushing on this year? To name just a few: scented soaps from Beekman 1802, the Pillow Bar’s mini travel neck pillow, desk journals from Eccolo and a plush pet blanket from Pretty Rugged Gear.

For Tracy Arakelian, president and founder of Pretty Rugged Gear, being included in Oprah’s Favorite Things is the cherry on top of a year filled with great accomplishments, such as winning Best New Product and Best in Market during the winter NY NOW show. “This year we worked tirelessly to grow our brand and be the best we could be,” she said. “We finished the year with the incredible honor of being chosen as one of Oprah’s Favorite Things. I am incredibly proud of what we have accomplished, and I encourage all entrepreneurs out there to work hard, and see your visions through.”
