Gift Giving Guy

Oprah Winfrey unleashed her Favorite Things for 2007, giving away $2 million worth of surprise gifts to a Macon, Georgia audience. She chose to visit and reward Macon, located 90 minutes south of Atlanta, because the city consistently tunes in to her show the most. The big-ticket present was a stainless steel refrigerator with built-in HDTV.

Here is the list of the 20 early Christmas gifts Oprah gave on her show, which aired Nov. 20, 2007.
