In the past year, I’ve really tried to up my daily step count. Gone are the days of lazing around on my couch; I’m looking to get those 10,000 steps a day. This goes hand in hand with needing a convenient way to carry my belongings — including my water bottle — instead of holding them in, well, my hand. Thankfully, Oprah just dropped her annual Favorite Things list for 2023 — and she recommends a genius crossbody bag that’s about to change my walking game. 

Like everyone else, when Oprah speaks, I take notes. Amongst her wellness picks, she included the WanderFull Crossbody HydroBag. “Now, this is a design I haven’t seen before — cute and multifunctional,” Oprah told Oprah Daily of the hands-free silhouette. She recommends it for everything from hikes in Maui to city walkabouts, the latter of which is more up my walking alley. It’s designed with an adjustable, webbed crossbody strap — hence its hands-free nature — and an interior waterproof pouch that perfectly holds your water bottle while keeping it from getting scratched or damaged. (Thank goodness I’ll finally have a way to safely secure my beloved Stanley tumbler.) The puffer bag also features two large zippered pockets to hold a cell phone, credit cards, headphones, lip balm — the sky’s the limit. 

The practical crossbody comes in 23 colors, including neutrals like black and ivory, flashy metallics, and brighter shades. Right now, you can snag Oprah’s pick — a deep purple — for 20 percent off.

At $59 this bag is definitely a worthwhile investment for your upcoming hikes. It’s even ranked number two on Amazon’s list of water bottle accessory best sellers, so Oprah certainly picked a good one. The crossbody bag has already racked up over 100 five-star ratings, with shoppers calling out how versatile it is for travel and events. One shopper, who purchased it to carry around music festivals, said it’s “so beautiful, soft and functional.” Another shopper bought it for a Vegas vacation to hold their “water bottle, phone, money, credit card and ID all in one carrier, and boy did this deliver.”

Still more satisfied shoppers call out its comfort and multifunctional use. Customers said it’s “lightweight” and  “very comfortable,”, and “holds everything one could need, whether they’re traveling to Disneyland or taking walks around the mall. 

Oprah’s Favorite Things tend to sell out, so I wouldn’t wait too long to add the WanderFull Crossbody HydroBag to your cart. (If you’re like me, you’ve already added it to your cart before you even finished reading this.)
