Oprah's Favorite Things Hits Big This Holiday Season

Shelly Lowery

Oprah Winfrey is one of the most popular talk show hosts in
American television history. As her show enters its 21rst
season, she has millions of viewers who tune in each day.
One of her most popular segments is her "Favorite Things"
holiday show. During this show, Oprah shares with the
studio and television audience some of her favorite things
including jewelry, gadgets and vacation getaways.

People love this show because on the "Favorite Things" episode,
audience members get the extravagant gifts that Oprah
displays. Around 300 audience members are showered with
gifts each holiday episode. The amount varies, but Oprah
audience members can each expect to receive between $4,000 and
$15,000 worth of gifts. But, Oprah is a big winner as
well. The 2004 episode of "Oprah's Favorite Things"
had the highest ratings ever for a "Favorite Things" episode and
was the second highest rated episode for the season.

Oprah has been doing her "Favorite Things" episode since
1999. Guests received a set of Illumination Ritual
Candles, each one to inspire different feelings like love, peace
and passion and each candle contained a tiny gemstone
inside. The 12-candle set was valued at $169.95. Dog
owners were no doubt thrilled with the Fifi and Romeo Pet
Clothing ($150 and up) - one of Oprah's favorite things of
1999. One of the most extravagant gifts that year was a
Susan Abbott Personalized Painting, ranging from $5,000 and up.
Oprah loved the Susan Abbott painting given to her by author
Sarah Ban Breathnach. In 2000, Oprah added many hi-tech gadgets
like the Motorola Talkabout pager (priced at $179), so audience
members could receive email while on the go. Another
favorite thing from 2000 was the book equivalent of the iPod,
the Gemstar REB1100 eBook from RCA ($299). The Gemstar let
users download up to 8,000 book pages, so they never had to
carry around a book again. The BlissLabs Glamour Gloves ($44)
and Gel ($22) was one of Oprah's favorite things in 2002.
The Panasonic 4-in-1 Digital Camera from Frontgate ($449) was
also a big hit that year. The camera, the size of a credit
card, takes pictures and video, but can also be used as a MP3
player and audio recorder. In 2003, Oprah decided to do two
episodes of her favorite things segment - one in the Spring and
one in the Fall. Spring audience members got an Apple iPod
($399), Silhouette Minimal X Sunglasses ($175-$250), and a
Hewlett Packard Digital Camera, Printer and Dock (total value
$730) among other items. Fall audience members racked up
with UGG Classic Short Boots ($110), a Philip Stein Teslar Watch
($595), and a Sony DCR-DVD200 Handycam ($1000).

2004 was a very special Favorite Things segment for
Oprah. She convinced 300 teachers to attend her show,
under the premise of talking about education and a teacher's
daily routine. Instead, she surprised them with the
Favorite Things episode. The teachers received gifts such
as a Sony VAIO S260 notebook computer, a Dell 30" wide-screen
LCD television, a Maytag Neptune Top-Load Washer and Drying
Center, and a trip for two to the exclusive Miraval Resort and
Spa. Total gift amount for each teacher was about $15,000
- much more than the previous year total of $4,800. Oprah,
a supporter of education and teachers, knew the teachers were
worth every penny. In 2005, Oprah decided to make her favorite
things audience up of Katrina relief workers. Among the
gifts were Sony VAIO® FJ Notebook, Kashwére® Shawl Collar Robe,
BlackBerry 7105T from T-Mobile, and a couple of Oprah's
favorites from 2004, UGG Australia's Uptown Boot and an Apple
iPod. While considerably less than the year before, the
2005 recipients still received over $7,000 worth of items.

Probably due in part to Oprah's television audience as well as
her personal appeal, each year the manufacturer's of the items
found on Oprah's favorite things donate all the gifts. But
they reap great benefits from doing so. They get
television exposure and an immediate increase in sales after
each episode. Companies like Sephora and Macy's have both
publically stated that as soon as Oprah mentions one of their
products, people are coming in the stores in droves to get it.

So in the end, it is a win-win situation. The
manufacturers see increased sales, the audience gets great
gifts, and Oprah just keeps on getting more and more popular
with her viewing audience.

Are you smart enough and man enough to wear ugg brand boots?

Jim Rubel

Back in the late ‘70s I saw my first pair of ugg brand boots on
a surfing trip to Mexico with some buddies of mine. Five of us
were just a year out of high school when we headed down to a
surf break called Quattro Casas, which is a couple hours south
of Ensenada. The bumpy rough road made for a sweaty trip down
but we finally arrived at the surf break that sported a quick
wave that peeled to the right off a point. We surfed on and off
until nightfall when everyone finally got out of the water.

At this point we removed our wetsuits and started getting
comfortable and that’s when I noticed the ugliest footwear I’d
seen since the disco influenced platform boot. My friend Robert
was sporting these… things on his feet. “What the hell are those
supposed to be?” I exclaimed. The other guys now hearing my
distress turned and started cracking up once they set their eyes
on the Australian sheep skin boots. “They’re called Ugg Boots
and I got them at Hanifin’s Surf Shop in Newport,” Robert said
as he proudly displayed the stupid looking booties. “They are
made of 100% sheep skin. Lots of the surfers in Australia wear
them,” he said pulling one off and showing us the fluffy
insides. Our quick to judge immaturely got the better of us as
we all fell about the place in throes of laughter. Immediately
as was typical of the time period we started in on Robert with
verbal bashing and gay innuendo. “Those are some pretty poofy
looking boots you got there Robert,” Chuck commented with a
sneer. “Dude, is there something else you are going to tell us?
Are you coming out? Oh, I really wasn’t prepared for this.
Should I have brought flowers, perhaps a card or something?”
Phil said with a slightly serious undertone of concern in his
homophobic voice. “Does this mean you won’t drink beer with us
anymore? You know, we bought a lot. I’m not going back to town
to get you Chardonnay my fruity friend.” We thought we were all
too funny as we busted Robert’s chops and laughed at the ugly
ugg boots that for all we knew Robert might have made himself.

After a ten minute verbal beating on Robert with him bravely
defending his sexually, surfing ability and ugg boots from
Australia, we finally settled down. Robert continued to boldly
wear his boots the rest of the trip and didn’t let us bother
him. In fact I think he ended up surfing better than the rest of
us on that trip. Maybe our hacking on him and his silly boots
made him emotionally stronger? Or maybe he just drank less beer?
Or maybe his feet didn’t get so chewed up like some of us?

See Robert ended up with the last laugh because by the trip’s
end, we all wished we had some classic ugg boots ourselves. The
rest of us had worn sandals, which didn’t keep our feet
protected or warm at night. We slept on the bluff above the surf
break and my feet as well as the other guys got cold at night.
It made sleeping difficult. Robert wore his boots all-night and
slept quite comfortably. He made sure we knew this because he
rubbed it in our faces each morning. But that was only half of
it. Robert didn’t get attacked on the feet and ankles by angry
velvet ants or bloodthirsty assassin beetles. The mauling from
these insects was so bad that one side of my foot looked like
flesh colored bubble wrap because of so many bites and stings on
it. It really hurt too. Yeah, by trip’s end I think we all would
have rather suffered the humiliation of wearing the ugly looking
boots rather than deal with the pain and suffering we did.

It is funny how function will beat out appearance when it comes
down to being comfortable. Now twenty some odd years later I
have a pair of ugg brand boots and I think the ugly things are
one of the best purchases I’ve ever made. I only wish I had been
smart enough and man enough to buy them earlier.

What to Watch For When Buying Child Ugg Boot

Brian Fong

Children are more in tune to today’s marketing mania than most
parents realize. The producers of television and radio stations
that are geared towards children select and run advertisements
that are especially created to attract the attention of this
younger audience. Today’s children are more capable of impacting
the purchasing decisions of their parents than ever before.
Whether it is food, entertainment, or fashion children seem to
know what they want and they have no problem letting their
parents know, too. Whether they have seen them in the mall, on
the Internet, being worn by their favorite music icon or heard
about them on the radio, many of today’s fashion-conscious
children want their own pair of child ugg boot.

Children see their parents wearing ugg boots. They hear their
parents boast of the boot’s comfort. They are dazzled by the
multitude of color and style options that are available. They
know that with a little research they too can find a child ugg
boot in their size. But what these children do not know is how
they can get their parents to open up their wallets and fork
over the sizeable chunk of money that is necessary to make this
purchase. If the children are savvy, they will present their
case in a way that appeals to the adults.

Children should make an effort to present to their parents a
summary of the benefits that a child ugg boot has to offer. A
proper fit and solid construction are two features of this style
of boot that will appeal to most parents making this a good
starting point for the conversation. And besides the benefits,
child ugg boots are a practical choice in footwear and parents
can really relate to things that are practical.

Children play hard and many of them are on their feet for a good
part of each day. To support all this activity they need shoes
and boots that fit properly. A child ugg boot will do just that.
A good pair of boots will be made from genuine Australian sheep
skin. This type of material will provide a child with hours upon
hours of sheer comfort. A proper fit will be one that is snug
but not too tight. The sheep skin will loosen and stretch with
wear, and in a short while, the boots will be fitting the feet
like a glove.

A child ugg boot is also a well-made boot. When shopping,
parents should look for boots that have been hand stitched.
Children play hard and a boot that is carefully stitched
together will last longer. In addition, many of styles that have
been created for children will have slip-proof soles and
reinforced toes. Check out the special deals here.

One very important benefit of a child ugg boot is that the boots
can be worn year-round. The sheep skin will help to keep the
child’s feet warm during the colder months and will even help
keep the feet cool in warmer temperatures. Make sure that the
label on the boot states that they are made from genuine sheep
skin. If the boots are made using an imitation material, the
child’s feet will end up being hot and sweaty and likely will
have an unpleasant odor.

To summarize, a child ugg boot should fit snugly, but not too
tightly. Parents should look for a label that states that the
boots are made from genuine Australian sheep skin. Hand
stitching, soles made from hard rubber and reinforced toes will
help the boots endure even the most active of children. So
parents, what are you waiting for?

three-quarter boot length. And if wearing the popular boot by
day is not enough for you, they are even available in a slipper
style. The latest style to hit the market is a clog style. And
more styles are arriving every day.

And there are more. The tall Uggboot style can be found with
additional fleece detail on the outside , making this style the
ultimate in femininity. When practicality is more important than
looks, Uggboots are available with a tough molded sole and
additional reinforcement in the heel and toe area. This style is
great for wearing in slippery areas where traction and
resistance can help the wearer avoid potentially dangerous falls.

And the exterior look does not end with color or with sheepskin.
These boots are also available in your choice of suede or
leather on the outside. A high-quality Uggboot will be lined
with pure Australian merino sheepskin, but imitation fabrics
abound. Zippers and straps and elasticized sides are just a few

boot.

milky-smooth leather, real sheepskin or an imitation, short,
tall, or somewhere in between, Uggboots are the “in” thing to

Are You Looking For Some Discount Ugg Boots?

Brian Fong

If you find yourself caught up in the recent boot craze, but

wallet, there is something that you should know. Ugg boots,
those oh-so-soft multi-hued boots made from pure Australian
sheep skin are available at a discount, if you know where to
look. The best place to begin checking for discount ugg boots is
on the Internet. The Internet is a wonderful invention. With a
good search engine and a few clicks of a button, you can locate
just about anything on the Internet, even long-lost distant
relatives you had hoped you would never see again. Just begin
your search for discount ugg boots by typing an appropriate
phrase into the search area. Faster than you can blink an eye,
your computer screen will fill with pages upon pages of links
you can click to start your search for your very own pair of
these trendy boots. If you are looking for discount ugg boots
have a look at the great deals here.

The most obvious place to begin your search for discount ugg
boots, even without using a search engine, is to visit your
favorite web auction site. There you can search for boots, or
more specifically, ugg boots, or even more specifically,
three-quarter length, tan ugg boots in size seven. Press a
button, find a pair that matches your criteria and start naming
your price. Before you know it, you will have at your doorstep

The reality is that because this style of boot is just so
popular and the product seems to literally fly off the shelf,
discount ugg boots may be difficult to locate, even on the
Internet. From a retailer’s point of view, it does not make good
financial sense to discount the price of a product that is
easily and continuously selling at full retail price. With the
fall season in full swing and the holiday season right around
the corner, this style of boot likely will continue its brisk
selling pace making discounts difficult to locate.

Eventually, however, stores will begin to discount their prices
in an effort to draw consumers into their stores and encourage
them to make purchases. If you are patient and are willing to
take time to research the Internet and other retail outlets, you
will eventually be able to find a pair of discount ugg boots
that fit your needs, and your feet and won’t cause too much
damage to your wallet.

Just be aware that the market is quickly flooding with lower
quality imitations of this boot style. You may find that some
discount ugg boots are not made from pure Australian sheep skin.
These boots will likely look pretty close to the real thing, but
your feet will know the difference.

Buy Your Man Crocs Shoes!

Mike Jerry

You think Crocs Shoes are just for women? Don't let the bright
colors fool you!

I buy my man Crocs shoes every spring. Why? Because I was tired
of his stinky smelly feet after spending his days at work. Crocs
has men's flip flops and clogs that will keep his feet cool and
help prevent that horrible odor that comes with the heat of
spring and summer.

My man works hard as a medical technician at the local hospital.
He is on his feet all day and most men's shoes just do not offer
him enough support and comfort to make it home without being in
pain at the end of every day. But I am tired of smelling that
horrible stench every time he takes his shoes off.

So I decided to start searching for an answer to my own
question. I started looking for shoes that would be comfortable
for him and still keep his feet cool and ventilated. Not long
after starting my search for men's shoes I found the Crocs
brand. Crocs look so cute that I thought there was no possible
way a clog like that could actually be comfortable. So I bought
myself a pair to test before buying my man his.

My feet felt like they were on little cushions. I could not
believe that a shoe this light and stylish could actually be
functional as well. The foot bed actually formed to fit my foot.
The more I walked in the shoes the more comfortable they became.
I saw that Crocs had a sandal and flip-flops available so I
bought them for myself right away.

Before actually buying a pair of clogs for my man, I wanted to
have some specific information on the shoe and what it was made
out of. I found out that the Cayman model, one of the most
popular, weighs only 6 ounces. Crocs makes them from a
closed-cell resin, which will not get hot or uncomfortable in
the heat. Some models of Crocs have ventilation holes to keep
the air circulating around the foot. The circulating air is what
will keep his feet from smelling. So I went online and purchased
a pair of Crocs Cayman shoes for my man.

I'm not going to lie. His first reaction was a little bit of
shock. He had never seen anything like them before and was very
reluctant to wear them. But after some coaxing he agreed to wear
them for one day. When he returned home from work he was smiling
and asked if I wanted to go to a movie. I could not believe it!
He didn't head straight to his chair and put his feet up. He
thanked me over and over for buying him his first clog shoes.

Now that spring is coming we are buying him some Crocs
flip-flops to wear around the house. Crocs has incorporated
their relaxed design into a sandal that is unbelievably
comfortable. Men's shoes are no longer boring and stinky. Now
men can wear stylish sandals to relax or comfortable clogs at
work and their feet will never stink again!

Crocs shoes are the hottest thing to come along in the shoe
world in quite some time! For more helpful articles and
information sources regarding this fun footwear, please visit us

How To Customize Your Jeans

Brian Johansson

When you buy a pair of jeans there is inevitably something that
doesn't work out about them. For me it is often the ankle and
the heel. Jeans tend to fit me fairly well throughout but in
those two areas I still have a hard time finding a pair that fit
perfectly. This often means that I will be forced to customize
these jeans to work for me. I have three major pairs of shoes
that I wear with jeans my converse chucks, black dress loafers
and flip flops. Often times if I go with jean that already has a
boot cut fit they work for the loafers but I end up dragging my
heel under the other shoes. Sometimes this can give you a nice
distressed look to the heel of your jean, but on a rainy day it
just means frozen feet and disgusting muddy heels on your jeans.

My simple answer is to go with a boot fit jean that doesn't drag
under my heel to much. Then cut the cuffs of the jeans
vertically along the inside and outside seam to open the boot
cut up further. This cut will look odd at first but after a few
washings it will look nice and distressed and ad some
personality to your jeans. The other answer is to cut the heel
of your jeans out. Be careful when you do this and always cut on
the side of caution. Once you cut the fabric away it cannot be
put back. This cut will also look strange at first but after
washing the jeans it will start to develop a nice distressed
look. I always think it is better to cut your jeans specifically
to what you needs are. Take the time to decide how to alter your
jeans to make the work better for you next time you are looking
to buy a pair.

Choosing Footwear - Why Choose Sandals

Andrew Taverner

Why wear sandals? This question comes up on so many occasions.
It is like there are rules to the etiquette of sandal wear. Can
you wear socks with sandals? Dress wear and sandals? Can you
golf in sandals? Many people have their interpretation of when
sandal wear is appropriate. In many countries and especially
where there is a beach culture, sandals are the footwear of
choice year-round.

The benefits of wearing sandals on your feet vary to the
activities that you are interested in. Sandals obviously do not
suffice for any activity that requires proper foot protection.
Flip flops are great for using in public areas and can protect
your feet from fungal infections, warts, and lacerations. They
are great for wearing indoor as well and takes only seconds to
put on or take off.

Sandals are stylish. At the beach, at parties or even at
business meetings, there is a wide range of sandals that are
available. From bright colored flip flops, to the strappy high
heel, to casual wedge-style platforms, there are enough styles
out there to suit any occasion.

There are many types of sandals on the market today that not
only look good, they keep your feet happy with good ventilation
and foot circulation. Sandals are even making winter appearances
in cooler climate areas. Name brands such as O'Neill and Sanuk
are beginning to produce sandals with quilted flannel and fleece
attached to straps, or stitched wool socks lined in polo fleece
for the die-hard sandal wearer.

The sandal industry has substantially increased in the last few
years. Stats from March 2006 indicate that the sandal industry
rose 13 % to 7.4 billion dollars nationwide in just one year.
Sandals have now expanded to nearly one-fifth of the footwear
market.

Shopping for sandals is quite easy. Most local shoe stores will
have a small selection. You can pick up a cheap pair in a
