【?? ??】Enter to watch online.The silliest stuff on Oprah's 2017 list of Favorite Things
The ?? ??true marker of the impending holiday season is not the removal of Halloween decorations or the scent of $6 holiday candles wafting in the air.
It is, in fact, the annual drop of Oprah's iconic Favorite Things list, a compendium of stuff you should buy yourself and your loved ones in pursuit of a better, chicer lifestyle.
This year, Oprah has us considering expensive jars and small mansions for the neighborhood birds.
Here are a few other things we suddenly can't imagine our futures without:
1. A $69 chicken pie

2. A beautiful luxury home for birds you don't own

3. Four fancy chocolate bars for $50
