Drew Barrymore‘s daughters better not count on opening presents under the tree come Christmas morning!

That’s because the 47-year-old actress-turned-daytime TV talk show host doesn’t intend to give gifts this year. And as she revealed in a new interview with ET published on Thursday, she actually hasn’t given Christmas gifts for a while now! (With one very specific exception!)

The Drew Barrymore Show host chatted for a bit about family life with the outlet on Thursday afternoon. Among the topics of discussion was Drew’s take on daughters Olive, 10, and Frankie, 8, whom she shares with ex Will Kopelman.

She said of that year:

Very thoughtful!
