I used to show the gifts as part of ' @The Chateau Diaries ' episodes, but you're all so very generous that we have many gifts, and if we spent the episodes opening them, we wouldn't be able to show you other aspects of chateau life! So, for those of you who enjoy watching presents being opened, and as a way to thank those of you who were kind enough to send them, I've made this new channel. Every week we will film your beautiful gifts whilst enjoying afternoon tea or aperitif together.
It is very important to me that you know that we in no way expect anyone to send us gifts. I would like to go further than that and add that, if doing so will put you in any financial difficulty whatsoever, please, please do not send us anything. Knowing that you join us by watching 'The Chateau Diaries' gives us all an enormous boost. But for those of you who have sent these incredibly thoughtful gifts, I hope that seeing us open them gives you a fraction of the joy that you've given us 💖💖💖
If you would like to see more of our life at the chateau, please go to our main 'Chateau Diaries' channel:

I'm so happy..Today you finally received and opened the pink Christian Dior robe I sent to you last Sept. 2022. I kept watching and thought that it was lost in the mail and to my surprise you finally received it. So happy you (and Philip) like it and it fits you perfectly in size and style. Wear it in good health. Connie from Kansas!♥️♥️♥️♥️😘

Connie! It’s a fabulous gown - such a lovely shade of pink! Thanks for sending it to Stephanie. I know we’ll be seeing her wearing it quite a lot. 😘
Your Aunt's blue and white dress is beautiful.
My favorite shows are when your auntie is there. She’s a special person. I imagine she’s made a huge impact on your life.

@@rayn8740 Agree with you 100%! I think if I ever met them I could only ever call them 'Auntie' and 'Uncle'! They're such fun and their kind, gracious good-naturedness just comes shining through along with their wonderful sense of humour. I love them both and enjoy any vlog that little bit more when they're part of it! Amaury chose great parents, I reckon! lol!
Your aunt looked beautifull in that lovely dress. Beautifull gifts as well!
Kansas and Arkansas is because of the French pronunciation of the plural of the Kansa tribe. Kansas. English pronounced the "s" the French did not.

Beautiful gifts 🎁
Auntie and Uncle are rock stars!!
The more wintery clothing items you received, semed quite apt watching from an Australian winter! Currently 12°C at 1pm! Brr! Windy & rainy! ☔
What wonderful gifts 🎁 and excellent company.
All the gifts are wonderful especially the vintage robe. Looks great on you. Blessings.
You rock, how fantastic, helping these little cats and kittens, well done and I hope you manage to get all the kittens homed.
The Boars Head Carol was indeed from Oxford and would be sung at Christmas when a Boars Head would be paraded around the College refrectory..the dining hall. There’s a small village just outside the city called Boars Hill (near Kennington), which was renowned for its wild Boar. Obviously all the wild boars have gone now, I’m not sure if the college still keep up the tradition of the Carol and using a Pigs head now although you can get farmed boars in England now. Of course in France they’re still wild.
I will so miss Chateau Unwrapped. Always such a joy to see your joy.
Great gifts, but the jumpers and gifts Julia sent, just WOW, so wonderful and generous.
That tapestry would look perfect in grand salon when completed .
Ooo those Spode plates are gorgeous
I love your Auntie's outfit, so pretty!
Absolutely lovely gifts. Lovely company, ❤❤too. I eill be watching and saying, "Oh, they got that from caddeau. That silk Tobe and the yellow cardigan and spoad mug are beautiful. ❤❤❤
As usual you are extremely loved and blessed
Keith here in New Mexico, I just love your videos, and everyone at La Lande!
The robe is gorgeous
Loved this episode, thank you. The silk gown is so beautiful, it really suits you Stephanie 😀👍
WOW! Bonanza !!! Loved it all and so fun to watch. The diorama is outrageously creative and the accompanying book so cool. Perfect sense that she lives in the Haight Ashbury neighborhood of San Francisco! All the lovely cashmere made me want to go buy a sweater but it's 80 degrees here in Chicago ... Thanks for all the fun! Love to you all, Brian
So good the men got gifts. Fine quality clothing. All other cadeaux were amazing
Lovely gifts!
That tassel trim .....you could use to decorate a small Christmas tree.....
I love Color Street nails! I’ve used them many times. So quick and easy!
I use mail strips …just put clear varnish over to seal and prolong life they last about 12 days ..I garden everything in them .they’re very hard wearing
I learn so much from watching this channel! This week I had to look up ‘The Boar’s head Carol’. I had never heard of it before but on youtube I could not only hear the song but in the comments of that channel, I read the story of it’s origin.👏👌🥰
Stephanie, as a designer of luxury cashmere scarves, here is your moth proofing formula. What causes the holes are not moths, but the hatched eggs the moths lay. Cashmere is the moth's favourite entree. Therefore, my prevention techniques: store your cashmere in breathable garment bags, during the season and once a month during the season, place your wool and cashmere pieces in the drier for 5 mins. The heat kills the eggs. Cold works as well, 4 hours in the freezer. I prefer 5 mins in the drier. Please use this technique with "Christmas Teddy" I sent you for advent, and Christmas season, as well as all your precious woolen friends. With this technique your beauties will become legacy pieces to enjoy for decades. For me, upon opening the suitcases after treating the wool pieces, for the cooler season, it is like welcoming old friends for a long visit. Reminder: before packing them away repeat the 5 minutes in the drier, then a plastic bag per item, then seal in a suitcase, chest, garment bag, etc. Happy wardrobe is a happy life! ❤ Loving you and yours, Lady B.
Great gifts in great company ❤
Perfection!!! Connie, I agree!!
Deep and crisp and even 😂😂😂 ❤🇨🇦
I have similar tasted to Stephanie, so I always get really inspired like 'oeh, I want that too.'
Thank you for another enjoyable video! Greetings from Illinois🥰
$250 in 1970 is around $2000 today!!
It's no wonder Stephanies clothing bar broke.
That’s a very lovely John Lennon imagine button down shirt. How thoughtful
Beautiful gifts!! Thank you for sharing!
Stephanie looks like a movie star from Hollywood in that silk robe!
No wonder her husband did not complain about the price of that beautiful gown, he would’ve enjoyed it too !
Wood pigeons swoop on and chase our Jack Russell. He is scared of them: naughty birdies...
Beautiful gifts again.
So many thoughtful gifts. That was lovely.
Very festive outfits
The Boars Head Carol is a medieval carol, usually sung now at Christmas Madrigal Feasts.

Love you Guys !
I've been using color street nail strips for years now and they are absolutely by far better than regular nail polish. It's all I use now. You will love them! Also I bet Cat would love to learn the new carol!
Eau de cologne My husbands French granny had bottles of it to spray on all linen and clothes
Uncle real for sure
I like the John Lennon Imagine shirt. Anyone notice the embroidered Lennon face?
Any news what charities have been supported lately would be nice to know ?
Stephanie you make fantastic enjoyable videos 😊❤
We have a bird frequency plug in for our factory for birds, it is only for inside the roof and doesn’t affect birds outside the area
I wish your aunt and uncle were my family
The nail strips make great fingernail bandages. I damaged a nail a few years ago and as it started to grow I ended up with a hole in the center. I used the nail strips and it worked beautifully. Mine were meant to be used with a UV light. But I have others that are just stick on.🙂🇨🇦
You are so very diplomatic Stephanie 😅
I just bought a long sky blue plush robe...I went on about it...
The poem of the vicar is absolutely beautiful 🤩 I would love to trace it and read it again. Was it written by the Lady that made the paintings in the book as well? She is very talented indeed 🧡 Sending you all warm greetings from The Netherlands 🇳🇱
Another epic installment! I understand the need to end Cadeaux, but I am definitely going to miss it! Thank you for the video!
You probably have enough gloves now to put a set in every coat pocket. That way you have them handy or you can keep them in the pocket if you’re not wearing them.
Great joke Philip!
❤️❤️❤️
I keep a pair in the car, I call them my driving gloves!
Gosh how generous is Julia!!! wonderful gifts. Sandi x
Your son needs to get in on this he's the he's the man
Yes yes give most of those close to him he need them
Lovely. Will miss💕🥰
I like how Philip says 'lovely' and guess what I now use that word all the time.😁
Oh yes! Color Street nails are the best! They are actually real nail polish and will remove with 💯 acetone! My sister sells them. Just You Tube application directions. I wear them all the time. They last 10-14 days. Don’t pull or scratch them off!
Those nail strips can last about two weeks on. Put a clear coat of nail coat on top of them to make them last longer

Thank you Stephanie
Or even an American size small

1980 the Year I graduated from High school...
Imagine is John Lennon, look at the embroidered face
Never see Auntie having a conversation or relationship with her sister Isabelle. Do they even get along? They are so different in temperment. Just wondering how it all plays out as they are rarely even shown together.

I am supprised you didn't try the dressing gown Philip.
Patricia Jamieson will you let editing Stephanie wear it?
I missed it, why is she not opening anymore gifts?
Hi!!!
2:37 Philip! i’ve never noticed that! 😅 Kansas Arkansas
What happened to the lovely dresses recently sent not seen anyone wearing them ?
I remember when this segment started & I thought I’d send something however the gifts ended up in my opinion being extremely expensive & not only that in some cases several of them at one time; hence I’ve never sent anything as I’d be too embarrassed even though I know Stephanie is very gracious in receiving anything regardless of size, cost etc.
