Oprah Winfrey has given Meghan Markle's lifestyle brand, As ever, a major endorsement by featuring one of its products in her highly anticipated 2026 annual Favorite Things holiday gift guide.

The media personality unveiled her latest gift selection on Thursday, November 12, highlighting a $250 Signature Basket from the Duchess of Sussex's lifestyle business. This marks the second consecutive year that Meghan's brand has received recognition on Oprah's popular holiday list.

Describing the product on Oprah Daily, the media mogul praised the beautifully presented hamper, noting that it combines delicious treats and thoughtful items. The basket contains fruit spreads, chocolates, herbal teas and a candle, all selected by Meghan.

As ever also celebrated the recognition through its official Instagram account, describing the Signature Basket as part of its limited-edition holiday collection. The brand highlighted the selection of sweet treats and hosting essentials, adding that the collection was designed to offer thoughtful gifts for different occasions.

The $250 hamper features several products from Meghan's collection, including signature fruit spreads, flower sprinkles, peppermint tea, hibiscus tea and lemon ginger tea. It also contains a selection of botanical chocolate bars created through a collaboration between As ever and Compartés.

Another notable addition is the brand's No. 519 signature candle, which holds special significance for Meghan and her husband, Prince Harry. The number references May 19, 2018, the date of their royal wedding. The candle features fragrances of Moroccan mint leaf, white tea leaves and cardamom, with its description drawing inspiration from the Duchess's wedding memories.

The candle is hand-poured in California and is designed to evoke the freshness of the English countryside.

This is not the first time Oprah has recognised Meghan's business. Last year, the Duchess's signature fruit spread gift box appeared on the same holiday list. Oprah previously revealed that Meghan had shared her homemade recipes with her before launching the business, praising the spreads as enjoyable additions to muffins, yoghurt and ice cream.

The two women share a longstanding friendship. Oprah attended Meghan and Harry's royal wedding in 2018, and the couple later became her neighbours in Montecito, California, after relocating from the United Kingdom in 2020.

Their relationship also attracted global attention in 2021 when Oprah interviewed the Duke and Duchess of Sussex about their experiences within the British royal family.
