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:

Helloooo it’s Lauren and Logan Stuart here! Thank you for opening my package!!!! We absolutely loved watching and Logan yelled “that’s meeee” it was such an honor. I’m so glad you liked it. We truly hope we can thank you in person someday. ❤️❤️❤️Keep up the magic. We adore it! And you all.
I wish I could express how much other people's stories impact my heart and soul. We all have our tough times and our highs as well and hearing from the La Lande community gives me hope because there are so many wonderful humans out there. Not only are we all fans but we are family no matter how far apart we are geographically. I cried during your reading of the poem about you and all of the La Landers. Watching Chateau Unwrapped isn't about just watching someone opening a present, it's about humanity and love and hope.
There is some serious milking of this Dan the gardeners demise going on here 🤔😬
Get the poem framed, it will get damaged as it is.
I love all the gifts but I especially love the poem from Lauren Stuart. I agree that it should be framed and placed in an area you will see everyday. Thanks for sharing in the joy and gorgeous gifts. Love the pink dress as well. 😍😘
So many amazing gifts! But the tomato pincushion warmed my heart as my mother had one when I was growing up and passed it on to me. ❤️
That poem was so enchanting and magical. So well written and sweetly thoughtful. Loved it so much. I am so impressed with the love being poured out through the gift givers but also from the recipients. I am very new to this channel and so thankful that I’ve found you all at LaLande. I’ve been binge watching all weekend. Blessings to all of you.
again I am amazed that I find this very hard not to watch. that poem is truly priceless...rings so true and resonates with your heart. from now on, we should call you princess coz that is what you are. your spirit soars to distant corners of the planet and inspire love, joy and laughter.
I'm really missing Dan the Gardner. I am following him diligently.
Hi all, history lesson..... Did you know why the pincushion is made to look like a tomato? Well, in Victorian times, it was a good luck thing to have a tomato on your mantelpiece to ward of demons in your house. Fine when tomatoes were in season, but out of season they had to improvise with red fabric stuffed with sawdust (see where this is going), so this is how it began, finding a pin on the floor and popping it into the fake tomato, and that is why pincushions are made to look like tomatoes to this day
Aww Stephanie we have tears of joy watching this video. It’s so true we found you at the worst and scariest time in all our life’s with Covid. And there all of a sudden there you and everybody at Chateaux diary’s gave us hope . Thank you all
Poem Made me cry. You must frame it. The dress is amazing on you. Heart ❤️ 💙 💜 to all the gift 🎁 givers!
That poem is an amazingly beautiful tribute to you Stephanie for what you have created something to truly treasure 💓🥰
Stephanie, You look so beautiful in every clothing item you get sent. You have a models' figure. What a pleasure it is to see you modeling the presents. Thank you!
Lauren, you’re so talented! You made us cry over here.
That poem needs a frame 🙂 and I am very pleased that you like my French book on dinner plates and antique glasses. Enjoy❣
The dress is so much more lovely on Stephanie than I would have thought!
I had a tomatoes pin cushion for 30 yrs. I was always losing my needles, so one day I cut it open and found 63 needles. What lovely gifts again.
I always find it amazing that every dress Stephanie receives fits her to a T. Wow it’s great on you’
Nattie wasn’t the only one with tears at the poem! Lovely!!!
