Influential celebrity Oprah unveils her Favorite Things for 2017, and the list includes trendy products available from Global Sources suppliers.

Oprah Winfrey's Favorite Things for 2017 are out, and for this edition of her annual gift guide, the iconic celebrity and philanthropist listed 102 trendy gift ideas that are perfect not just for the Christmas season, but for other special occasions as well. Selected products span various categories from apparel and fashion accessories to housewares, kitchen appliances and consumer electronics.

Among this year's highlights are items that nourish the soul such as Oprah's inspirational book entitled The Wisdom of Sundays and the Gratitude glass jar where people can put notecards of everything they are thankful for. Delectable pies and pastries, including Caroline's caramel cake and the Centerville chicken pie, which according to Oprah, is the closest to homemade she had ever tasted, are also on the list.

Notably, several products on the gift guide are already available or similar to those offered by verified Global Sources suppliers. The Corkcicle Stemless steel cup, for instance, works the same way as this fast-cooling mug, which was one of the Cool Design Award winners at the recently concluded Global Sources Gifts & Home show.

Designs akin to the Cangshan six-piece knife and mountain block set with hollow-out handles can readily be sourced from China's top kitchen and tableware hub of Yangjiang in Guangdong province.

The vintage tinware mugs, three-edged cheese knife and stainless steel-lined copper cookware set are the housewares in the list that are also available in Global Sources.

Alexa-enabled devices, among the hottest products at Global Sources Electronics, are represented in the gift guide by Amazon's Echo Show. The BeatsX earphones, meanwhile, have the same features and functions as several wireless earphones from verified Global Sources suppliers.

The My Audio Pet Bluetooth Speaker from Global Sources Summit speaker and JAKAB Solutions Inc. founder KJ Robinson also made the list for the second straight year.

In the fashion accessories category, the Peepers sunglasses provide UV400 protection similar to the latest China-made sunglasses. Vionic's slip-on sneakers come in a hollow-out style just like a number recently launched fashion kicks from Global Sources manufacturers. Double pear drop earrings and crossbody bags are fashion staples available on Global Sources online.

With athleisure still the craze, several active-cum-casualwear are likewise featured in the list. The Tory Sport track pants and Spanx Active leggings are stylish and comfy as are these sports bottoms and yoga pants from Global Sources. The Coatology Vest much like these down jackets provide great protection from the cold weather. The Lark & Ro cashmere sweaters are just as chic as these China-made pullovers.
