Overall, Cavallari said she keeps things pretty low-key.

"I'll give my kids a bag and some small presents and candy, and decorate the kitchen, but nothing major," she said over email, explaining that she got her daughter a horse necklace and a T-shirt this year ("she's obsessed with horses") and shoes and candy for her boys.

Over the last few years, Cavallari said they've also chosen to dress up and go out to dinner.

"When we go to dinner, my boys love wearing their suits and my daughter will wear a pink or red dress. It's very cute that they love to get dressed up!" she said.

She added that her daughter also loves T-shirts and sweatshirts with heart prints, but Cavallari "[doesn't] always buy something new."

Editor's Picks

Cavallari, also a cookbook author, said she will make her kids "fun lunches for school," like "sandwiches cut out in heart shapes." She said she opts for big chocolate hearts for a sweet treat.
