From personal family traditions to thoughtful, affordable gifts, Denise shares ways to make the occasion special. She even reveals which former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills co-star she’d trust to pick out the perfect Mother’s Day gift for her.

DR: I think Sutton Stracke would get me something amazing—she’s an amazing gift giver and very thoughtful. She’s also a mom, so she gets it. She’d probably pick something that’s both chic and personal.
E!: What’s your favorite part of celebrating Mother’s Day? Do you have any family traditions?
DR: Mother’s Day has always been bittersweet for me because I lost my mom. My daughters know that it can sometimes be hard for me. They always try to include her memory and do something special for me.
My favorite part is just having everyone together — I love being a mom more than anything, and as my girls are getting older and busier, I just love a day where it’s just us.
E!: What are your plans for Mother’s Day this year?
DR: It’s usually a surprise! Sami is the one that does the planning. So far I don’t know what it is.
E!: Now that Sami and Lola are young adults and Eloise is a teen, how has your perspective on Mother’s Day evolved?
DR: I’ve come to cherish it even more, although I do miss the days when they were younger and they would make something special at school for me — those homemade gifts are the best.
Now, with the girls older and more independent, I really appreciate any time we get together. It reminds me how fast the time goes and how proud I am of the strong young women they’re becoming.
