Why Cameron Diaz Credits Benji Madden for Special Holiday Gift Picks

E!: When you’re gifts shopping for your husband, do you ever reach out to Joel Madden for insights?
CD: I think that’s a good way to do it. If you’re really stuck on a gift, ask the twin or someone else they’re super close with. If there’s something that they really love, and it’s outside of what you two do together, ask someone else. Guys can be hard to shop for, for me at least, so I can always use an assist. I just want everyone to like what they’re getting, so I don’t mind tag teaming the idea. I also always get gift receipts and put those in the bag too. 

E!: Is your sister-in-law Nicole Richie easy to shop for when it comes to holiday gifts?
CD: She’s cool with just getting a little something for the house. Or sometimes I don’t get her anything at all and she’s okay with that. We just make sure we are on the same page. Last year, we were like “Can we please no get each other anything for Christmas?”

E!: When you finish a movie, do you give gifts to the cast and crew?
CD: There’s always a gift for the crew. A lot of the time it’s sweatshirt, t-shirt, or bag, and it could be something personalized. It’s a nice parting gift with friends. You get really close to the crew. It just depends on the specifics of here you’re filming, what you guys did together during filming or outside of filming at that time.

E!: What’s a good gift recommendation if you’re shopping for someone else’s kids?
CD: I would go with cash. I think there’s something really nice about that. A gift certificate is good. I always ask they parents what store they really like and get a card from that store.
