Another fun cadeaux! I thought I'd pass along this small tip for Lancelot. He may be teething and that's one reason why he's getting a little "bite-y". What we used to do for our pups is to get some of the sort of dish clothes that are made of cotton in a coarse weave, cut them into 2 inch strips and knot them together in twos. Then we'd get them thoroughly wet, squeeze them out and pop them into a ziploc bag and put that in the freezer. When Lancelot's gums are a bit sore and hot you can grab one for him to have a good chew, cooling and massaging his gums with the cloth. When he's finished chewing (it's a good tug of war toy too!) you can toss them into the wash and then freeze them again.

What a great tip, never thought of the gums being sore.❤️

Michael, please visit Lalande so we all can see youuuu… you’re awesome! Thank you for all the gifts you sent for Stephany. I enjoy seeing them too they’re very stunning and wonderful. You have excellent taste Sir. ♥️♥️♥️

Hanni is hilarious 😅. Her face expressions are worth a TV show 📺. Love to all of you, Brigitte 🌷

At one point in this video, you mentioned that you all have never met Michael T!!!! I was blown away by that revelation...all this time I thought it was someone you knew, maybe a part owner of the Chateau or a lifelong friend of yours/the family! You simply MUST have him as a guest at some point to the Chateau!!!!! As everyone has said: his "prose" is superb and his gifts to the Chateau and you all are as well!! Michael T has exquisite taste, a fantastic sense of humor and is a very smart guy!!

Correct me if I am wrong, was it mentioned at some point that Michael T wrote that he was unable to travel anymore?

Wendy is wrestling a mini tiger 🐯. Michael T. Is a legend! How are we going to live without him?

So many beautiful things! It’s so nice seeing Hanni again, she has been missed 😁😁😁

Blue sweater looks great on Hanni

Stephanie I didn't want a dog either...but my husband did...I loved that dog so much. He gave us so much joy.

In the USA during the 50s-60s, it was a hobby to buy porcelain and hand paint it as you theorized. My Mother was quite fond of the painting.

To clarify-the early 1050's through to the 1920's in the U.S. was the height of the cottage industries of women artists as well as a pastime of genteel ladies to decorate fine plain white imported china like Limoge.

Just a thought: I always find it insightful and amusing how a bouquet of roses, with its rich colors, delightful fragrance and delicately patterned petals, is seen by some as a thing of beauty to be admired and enjoyed while others see only the thorns. I say, "Open mind, insert joy."

Watched this today on the treadmill in the gym and I didn’t even feel my workout 🤣 I was smiling all the way through, my fellow gym bunnies must have been wondering what was so great on the TV ❤️ Thanks for providing such a happy and delightful distraction 🤗❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I do love the unwrapping of the wonderful things sent from all over the globe. It must feel like Christmas every day.😊❤

A friend was wearing Samurai sword earrings, hand made so that they pierced her ears. The blade attached under the ear. That part disappeared and so my children ran everywhere looking for the back blade at a wedding. They went under tables, just everywhere. As a joke, I said, "Look in your brassiere!", as a joke. A sister used to lose her earrings there, and found one in an ice bucket. It was there!... In the brassiere!

That sweater is definitely Hanni’s color! 🩵💚🩵

So nice to find this video in the middle of the night I'm struggling to sleep. Sending love to Stephanie and everyone at Lalande. Alicia from Florida. ❤

Great episode today! Stephanie, you have so many talents. One that stands out is your oral reading with such expression. Audio books orator could be a future job.

Oof, did philip really invite himself on the girl’s trip to the Maldives? Lol

Lancelot might need his puzzles or a chew toy during cadeaux! 😂

Oh that "groovy baby" lavender crocheted outfit! So cool 😎 ✌️🌼🌺☮️ And Havilland plates!!! Wow!

Two thoughts. Maybe Travels with my Friend will have a special edition “Traveling with Hannie”. Second, if Michael T is unable to travel to Lalande, perhaps you could travel to him? 🤷🏼‍♂️

Oh the excitement for Lancelot, smelling the scent from each package. His little nose was working overtime.

Wendy was such a sweet puppy sitter.

I think every woman needs a Michael T in her life. What exquisite taste! ❤

Anyone notice that Lancelot is in absolute heaven? He is enjoying every minute of that soothing head rub. Hugs from Houston ❤

What a great Cadeau. Lovely to see Hanny & Wendy & your beautiful aunt. Michael T is so generous & lovely. I’m really going to miss Cadeau when it finishes. I have watched it from the beginning & am blown away by people’s generosity & good humor. It’s wonderful to watch. I hope one day we get to see Mr T. There’s no other channel like Cadeau Love it!❤😊

You're dog/ My dog is the joy of having a fur baby. 😂😂❤️🇨🇦

Wow, we really must meet Michael T. 🤗❤️🌈🙏🕊️

I think Lancelot is desperate to go on to the floor.

That was so much fun! I think Wendy has found a new, little friend.🤣

So glad to have Honey back. Amazing in that sweater. Slay, slay, Honey.

The Doily: my grandmothers and great grandmother made many beautiful doilies and the ones that had parts like the roses were soaked in starch or a thicker sugar syrup and the petal parts would be raised up so when they dried they were textured like actual flowers . It’s fairly easy to do but sometimes we had to use toothpicks or wads of tissue paper or plastic to keep them raised up till they dried. They also made some pineapple shaped ones as well. Another winter craft project? Lovely to see this video, it made a fun Friday evening to spend the time watching you all 🥰🙋🏼‍♀️

Both Stephanie and Phillip have great voices and I would hear them sing a duet

Those little felt animals are so cute luv the earrrings.

Wendy is such a celebrity to us lol

Someone needs to find those doggy buttons they can be taught to use for words.

Would you please spring for a better microphone system..with Phil behind the camera his voice is dominant and the others are muffled. I'd like to hear Stephanie clearly.

Such beautiful gifts

Efficiency earnings!! 😂❤

The little handbag was my mother’s so it is probably about the 1930’s as she would have been in her 20’s after 1933. I don’t think she ever used it

God bless Michael T😮😮😮😮😮His gifts are so stunning.

It's so nice to watch people who love porcelain as much as I do. Have you ever seen RS Prussia porcelain?

I love to make Oysters Rockefeller. Yummy. I found my mother's black velvet tapestry coin purse after she had passed away. It is so beautiful. 🙂🇨🇦

I can see Philip working at Limoges.

When Davey found that yellow rose that was planted in the courtyard it probably was yellow. I have had yellow & pink rose + pink Hibiscus turn white!. There was a lot of coffee grounds that I threw there. It forever changed the color to white.

Yeah I always says “the early worm gets eaten.” 😆

Lancelot is probably teething if he is biting a bit. He needs chew sticks and toys. I adore him.

I have been watching for quite some time, but I’m unfamiliar with the two ladies other than your aunt sitting beside you? I always enjoy seeing your aunt and uncle.

What a lovely letter from Jess (a fellow aussie hehe). I have been thinking this for a while, but Jess' letter is a great example... Maybe instead of gifts, just letters? I so love hearing all the stories from all around the world x

Love that you have. Little bit of Dubai with you in your puzzle 🧩 sending you love health and happiness from Dubai ❤❤❤

I’m sooo happy you’re continuing this MAYBE.. Ihave had a package to send out for some time, and now I can send it. maybe it will be opened next year. Even if not on camera I know it’s something everyone will use. Phillip you need to start a channel for Lancelot. Can call it Lancelots Great Adventures, heaven knows he’s already a world traveler.. Could be a, “where’s Lancelot” game. YOU can be HIS wingman. Thanks for doing this video, made my holiday evening more fun.

Lancelot acts like a dog that needs a break outside.

Beautiful sweaters luv lavender set

I remember several years ago that you did individual interviews during advent. They were great as we got to know the background and lives of many Lalanders and to listen to how they arrived ar the Chateau. it's a form of human curiosity I suppose. Please could you consider these again ? Hanni (excuse spelling) is most fascinating for example and I'm always intrigued to know her more. It helps to understand human journeys which intrigue me whether they are from past centuries or current now.

This is Grandma from Texas. Maybe y’all could suggest people can send items that you can resell in your little shop. Y’all could use proceeds to help fund the Chateau restoration.

Thank you Philip, I'm drinking fire ball . It's very chilly here.

I think Lancelot & Wendy are fast friends. ❤

Always have fun and have big smiles watching your videos. Hannie is so quick and humorous, the exitement of you Steph, Phillips quick way with quips, Wendy taking care of cute little Lancelot....just a lot of fun!

Would you please give an update on Percy and your mom please

Everything is lovely ❤

One of the best channels to watch this Chateau Unwrapped its just so much fun .

'Gotta luv' Michael T. Fabulous taste and wit! Or is Michael P?

Poor Wendy, she looks uncomfortable with the dog.

Philip, you’re slipping! Stephanie, you have “chandelears” while wearing those earrings! 😂 I just purchased the audiobook version of The Blue Rose. The reader, Karen Cass, is stupendous!

Thanks love you Guys !!!!!!!!!

I luv Zienias and Sweet William .Zienias in Ontario are annuals . My Sweet William comes up every year.

Just put 2 1000 piece puzzle together my husband and I.

A note regarding the Haviland plates: Haviland Limoges was the first company to have artists on site to decorate their plates Many other porcelain companies had their plates sent out for decorating. Haviland artists would sign their plates, sometimes on the front, often on the back. However, signing the plates was not always done and depended on the status or rank of the artist. It also depended on the period in which the plates were produced. For your set of six, it can’t be said with certainty whether the Haviland artist or the plates’ eventual owner signed them though It’s more likely to have been the artist.

As always, beautiful and very generous gifts! 🙏❤️

My way””was written by the late French singer Claude Francois and was titled “” Comme d’Habitude””!

Let the dog be a dog not a toy.

You must check out the Huntington Library & Gardens in San Marino California....they have recently had a new rose named the Huntington's 100th rose.....it is very close in color to your lalande rose you are searching for...... I have been a volunteer over 15yrs in their world renowned gardens........ Hello 👋🏻 from Southern California 🌴 Annette V🎉

I've had the Maldives on my mind recently, too, after watching some travel vlog youtube videos about it.

This has been a very lovely vlog with so many absolutely wonderful gifts. Micheal, you amaze us all. How do you find such beautiful things? Lancelot is hyper, but he settles after a while. He is adorable.

The Haviland plates are for decoration only, Mom has a set. They are to be hung on the wall.

Stephanie, you have been searching for the lost LeLand rose for so long. Have you thought of developing a new version? I’m sure someone in your viewership might have the expertise to make that happen for you, or maybe Davie knows someone that could develop the rose again. Just a thought. Love watching your videos!

I have had dogs in my life since the day I was born. Many breeds and even four at one time. I have been accused of spoiling my dogs and I have to agree but I do beleive that the woman who said “no dogs” has me beat. I think LaLande has a new Chatelaine, oops I should say Chatelain. Lancelot is so adorable. I am glad I am not there because I might have to make off with him.

Great hair wendy
