Courtesy of John LegendIf there was a definition for “couple goals” in the dictionary, you’d probably find a photo of John Legend and Chrissy Teigen there. So it should come as no surprise that they are excellent gift givers!
E! exclusively spoke with the “All of Me” singer to find out exactly what’s on his holiday wishlist this year, the gift under $50 he’d recommend to anyone, the “go-to” gift he gets when he isn’t sure what to buy and so much more.
- What John likes from Chrissy: Brooklinen Super-Plush Robe
- Under-$50 gift idea: Loved01 Hand & Body Lotion Duo Set
- Best gift for kids & families: LEGO Festive Gingerbread House 40809
One place you won’t catch Legend? In the crowds shopping during Black Friday! “I don’t like to shop under duress, I’m more of an online shopper,” he told us.
And if you also prefer to online shop over hitting up stores IRL, we’ve got plenty of gift ideas courtesy of John that you’ll want to start adding to cart right now.
John Legend’s Holiday Wishlist
“I don’t really wish for gifts. I have everything I need. But I do love when Chrissy buys me bags for all my travels. And I love when she gets me robes. I wear robes around the house all the time.”
Brooklinen Super-Plush Robe
We’d tell Chrissy to get John this robe from Brooklinen! As the name suggests, it’s so plush and comfy, and comes in multiple colors.
Printfresh Reversible Flannel Quilted Robe in Folklore Forest
And if John wanted to treat Chrissy to a robe, this reversible flannel one from Printfresh is equally cozy and versatile.

John Legend’s Secret to Buying Gifts for Chrissy Teigen
“I try to be a good listener and pay attention to what she’s excited about,” he shared. “After all these years, I know Chrissy’s taste very well, and so my gifts for her usually work well. I think my best gift to her during the holidays was an engagement ring. I proposed Christmas 2011 while we were on vacation in the Maldives.”

He also knows what his kids are after for the holidays this year!
“The kids love games. Video games, of course, but also board games. They also love Legos. I love getting them Legos. I love building Lego sets myself, but I really love seeing the kids get into it and focus on the job until it’s done,” John shared.

More Holiday Gift Ideas from John Legend
“What’s a product you discovered this year that you’d recommend gifting to everyone?”
“I have recently gotten into smoking meats lately. I bought a Camp Chef Woodwind smoker, and I love using it. That’s a great gift for all those aspiring smoker dads!”
‘Franklin Smoke: Wood. Fire. Food.’ by Aaron Franklin & Jordan Mackay
This cookbook by Aaron Franklin and Jordan Mackay encourages you to treat fire as an ingredient, not just a method. We think this would be the perfect gift for someone getting into grilling and smoking.
Camp Chef Woodwind 24
And if you want to splurge on a special smoker, this one by Camp Chef is on sale now!
What’s one gift under $50 that you think everyone would love?
“Well, I’m biased, but our skincare brand Loved01 has so many great gifts to make people feel special at an affordable price. Our set of hand soap and lotion is a great gift because the recipient will see it every day, and it’ll make any sink/countertop look more elevated.”
Loved01 Hand & Body Lotion Duo Set
We think this duo by Loved01 would also make an excellent hostess gift, because who doesn’t want to spruce up their bathroom with something a little luxe?
What’s your go-to holiday gift when you don’t know what to buy someone?
“I like to give bags,” John said. “Travel bags, toiletry bags, purses, etc. That way, you don’t have to worry about fit, and it’s a gift that the recipient will be able to use a lot and be reminded of your excellent taste and generosity.”
BÉIS The Dopp Kit
Gifting bags is a great idea! To go with your new BÉIS’ suitcase, this Dopp Kit is a spill-proof bag for all of your travel necessities.
