Oprah's favorite things include iPad, 2012 Volkswagen Beetle

As Oprah Winfrey brings her A-game on the final season of her daily talk show, she made her annual "Favorite Things" episode — in two parts — something unforgettable for her lucky audience members.

The episode, in which Oprah gifts her guests goodies including cookbooks, designer bags and even exotic vacations, always elicits blood-curdling screams of joy and intense facial expressions — for good reason. This year's bounty included iPads for the lucky recipients.

Winfrey went so far as to crown the Apple device as her "ultimate" favorite thing and unveiled the tablet dramatically by lowering it from the ceiling, flanked in angel wings.

Speaking of mobility, audience members each received a 2012 Volkswagen Beetle, sparkly Ugg boots, an herb saver, custom Le Creuset cookware and music by Josh Groban.

Scarlett Johansson, Taylor Lautner, Beckham boys get a 'Green Lantern' gift

While it's a federal offense to go through someone else's mail, the Ministry has some scoop on a special delivery that went wide to celebs including Scarlett Johansson, Jay-Z, Chris Pine, Taylor Lautner and Taylor Swift.

Warner Bros.' consumer products division sent out a "priceless parcel" to 100 famous faces from entertainers, including goodies geared to hype their forthcoming "The Green Lantern."

The action flick starring Ryan Reynolds doled out merchandise including a replica of superhero Lantern's power ring and bracelet, a hat and logo sweatshirt, and an illustrated T-shirt of the character by Wet Cement.

Some of Hollywood's most famous kids received the bundle as well, including Romeo, Cruz and Brooklyn Beckham (with one for father David); Christina Aguilera's little guy, Max; Willow and Jaden Smith; and Matthew McConaughey's kiddo, Levi.

The flick is slated to open June 17.

The suite life: Sundance swag lures America Ferrera, Malin Akerman and more

The excitement of Sundance draws celebs from Hollywood, New York and beyond with an appreciation of their craft, a platform for industry dialogue -- and an endless train of luxury gifting suites.

What would Sundance be without swag!? The Ministry has a full report of who, where and -- most important -- what was gifted.

Lucky ones included America Ferrera, Malin Akerman, Marisa Tomei and John Legend. 

The hottest lounge for L.A.-savvy fashion fans was Fred Segal Fun. The swanky boutique opened a pop-up shop at Village at the Yard and packed it with wares including Parish Nation menswear, social business cards Poken, KR3W denim and footwear and some stiff cocktails from Absolut. Ferrera, Akerman, Adrian Grenier and Kate Mara all scored the goods.

At the Lia Sophia Suite at the Lift, Edie Falco and James Franco escaped the snow to grab goodies like Diesel's "Be Stupid" tees and Under Armour performance jackets. There was a charitable opportunity amid the booty: Franco, along with Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning, signed a Muscle Milk Light cooler for auction. 

Over at the House of Hype, AT&T presented Samsung Mythic phones to the likes of John Legend and festival actor David Hyde Pierce, as well as G-Shock watches and Votre Vu skincare products.  

On the mountaintop at Marriott's MountainSide, Oakley's Learn to Ride snowboard session gifted goggles, hats, snowboarding pants and neck warmers to Tomei as well as Paris Hilton and boyfriend Doug Reinhardt, so that they might better brave chilly Park City, Utah. 

Meanwhile, at Talent Resource's Sky Suite, newlywed Khloe Kardashian-Odom cleaned up -- presumably easing disposable-income pressure on husband Lamar Odom. She scored a yearlong free movie pass to AMC, UrbanEars headphones, Jenny B tees and skincare products from EOS.

Sometimes the biggest star perk isn't what you take home, it's what you burn off ...
