— -- For a woman who has everything, Kim Kardashian West worries about her children growing up with too much.

"We don't do gifts," Kardashian West told the October issue of Allure magazine about how she and husband Kanye West try to keep their two children grounded.

"[Kanye and I] talk about it all the time, about not getting too much and trying to be as grounded and well-rounded as possible..." she said. "I don’t like presents anymore."

So how did the couple celebrate their recent wedding anniversary?

"We just did absolutely nothing." the reality star, 36, revealed. "We spent two days in Santa Barbara, and we slept."

She then added, "You know what? I think we went to IHOP. That’s what we did."

It's the simple things that matter most to Kardashian West, she said, like a plastic jewelry box her 4-year-old daughter North gave her just before she traveled to Paris last year and was later robbed.

The reality star explained that she had actually been feeling anxious before taking that trip because of recent terrorist attacks and her daughter wanted to reassure her by giving her one of her treasured items.

"She gave me a little plastic treasure box, and she put her little jewels in it -- like fake little plastic jewels -- and she was like, ‘Mommy, this will keep you safe when you go to Paris," Kardashian West recalled. "To have something really sweet like that is more important to me than all the jewelry."
