Meghan Markle just received a major endorsement for her lifestyle brand, As Ever, this time from a close celebrity friend: Oprah Winfrey. The popular talk show host has once again included the Duchess of Sussex’s products in her much-awaited annual holiday gift guide. This year's selection marks the second consecutive year Markle's brand has earned a place on the coveted list.

Winfrey, on November 12, unveiled her annual Favorite Things list that includes all things she believes would be great holiday gifts. Explaining her choice, the description on Oprah Daily reads, “Who doesn’t love a beautifully made picnic hamper? And this one from As Ever will surely bring delight and deliciousness. It’s filled with fruit spreads, chocolates, herbal teas and a candle — all curated by the Duchess herself.”

The gift basket consists of As Ever’s signature fruit spreads, flower sprinkles, herbal peppermint tea, herbal hibiscus tea, herbal lemon ginger tea, and also the botanical confectionery chocolate bars created in collaboration with Compartés.

Celebrating the recognition on Instagram, As Ever posted images of their gift baskets and wrote, “The Signature Basket is on @oprahdaily Oprah’s Favorite Things! 🎁 Filled with As Ever favorites, it’s part of our limited-edition Gift Basket Collection, thoughtfully curated for the season of giving. From sweet treats to hosting essentials, there’s a basket for every occasion.”

This is not the first time Winfrey has shown her appreciation for Markle's business.

Last year, the media mogul selected As Ever's signature fruit spread gift box for her holiday guide. At the time, she had said that she enjoyed the Duchess's homemade recipes. The duo has shared a close relationship for years, and Winfrey even attended Markle's royal wedding to Prince Harry in 2018. As the couple later moved to Montecito, California, they became neighbors, and their friendship has only blossomed since.
