Oprah's Favourite Things 2021 [1] list just dropped [2], and of course it features some fitness gift ideas we're already adding to our own list. This year, Oprah's recs include a rowing machine, Allyson Felix-approved sneakers, a set of headphones meant to improve your sleep, and more, all available on Amazon. Better yet, this year Oprah used the list to spotlight small businesses owned by women or people of colour, so you'll see many of those in this roundup, too. Keep reading to see all the health, fitness, and wellness gifts Oprah's counting among her favourite things this year!
Softies Dream Jersey Crew-Neck Lounge Set
The Softies Dream Jersey Crew-Neck Lounge Set [4] ($109) is a soft and cosy option for low-key lounging, walks, and light yoga. You'll get a long-sleeve top and matching jogger pants in this set, which also comes in shades of pink and blue.
HEAD LIGHTZ Beanie with Light
If you're running, walking, or hiking before the sun comes up or after it sets, the HEAD LIGHTZ Beanie with Light [5] ($25) can help you stay warm and safe. It lights your way like a head lamp (powered by a rechargeable battery) while keeping your head toasty.
Hydrow Connected Rowing Machine
Thinking of trying out rowing workouts [6]? The Hydrow Connected Rowing Machine [7] ($1,795) offers high-intensity, low-impact rowing workouts from instructors (including Olympians and Paralympians) on its HD touchscreen, and when you're done, you can store it upright against a wall to maximise your space.
Melt Fit Essential Leggings
The stretchy and comfortable Melt Fit Essential Leggings [8] ($48) are designed for workouts and everyday wear, featuring a high-waisted fit and a side pocket big enough to fit your phone.
Bose Sleepbuds II
Bose Sleepbuds II [9] ($249) may look like headphones, but they're more like a white noise machine that fits in your ear, piping in "relaxing and noise-masking sounds" designed to soothe you to sleep and help you sleep through the night.
Peepers by PeeperSpecs Showbiz Soft Square Light Blocking Reading Glasses
Protect yourself from eye strain and headaches with Peepers by PeeperSpecs Showbiz Soft Square Light Blocking Reading Glasses [10] ($27), which also reduce reflections and glare while filtering over 40 percent of "high-energy visible blue light."
Saysh One Sneaker
Step up your game in the Saysh One Sneaker [11] ($120) from Olympian Allyson Felix's new lifestyle brand, Saysh [12]. The brand's signature sneaker is "sculpted to fit the shape and form of the female foot," with a sleek look and a supportive fit.
