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:

It’s dangerous to put that big woodblock into such a small oven😮 The enamel can be destroyed if you fire so hard. Oven plates can twist, causing the oven to crack, which in turn causes the oven to have an uncontrolled air supply. Never fill the combustion chamber more than two-thirds full. Chimneys bursting and flames engulfing the house🙈It is then important to fire within what the fireplace or stove is designed for. Just a rants from a Norwegian with lots of experience with wood burning 😅
@@marionkuipers2859 You probably could have said that a little nicer? 😮
@@marionkuipers2859he has a name and he knows what he's doing! It's their chateau they'll know better 😏
@@marionkuipers2859 That’s SO rude!
What's rude about giving sensible advice from an experienced Norwegian? It could prevent a catastrophic fire.
You should invest in a log splitter for Philip
Yes!!!😬
I really have to make a comment about the large piece of wood Phillip put in the stove.
If the stove gets too hot it can crack the internal heat bricks but worst of all if too much heat comes out of the stove, it can cause damages to surrounding areas ie; fire surrounds even causing plaster to detache from the ceiling I know from experience.
I do feel the most beautiful teapot and very expensive shouldn't be put on top of the stove, once cracked it is beyond repair.
I also think the heat could damage the back of the chairs.
I don't like making negative comments but I'm really worried you will have damages.
I left my stove open full and forgot it. Hence the ceiling cracking and falling.
It’s a comment out of caring. I was thinking the same things!!
My first quick comment: Be very very careful about overloading the firebox of your log burners. Consequences can be serious including damage to the venting system or the firebox itself. Remember, only you can prevent unnecessary chatastrophies.
Please have someone SPLIT the logs before putting them into such a small place!
yes first time i heard about an otter storing a rock under his "arm" and i watch all the time, i must of missed it before 🤣🤣
I love that Phillip is not only unafraid but proud to be of a romantic heart.
Log splitter? I think that Yulesized log was a mistake.🦔🦔🦔🔥🔥🔥
Putting on logs that big could cause fires where you don't want them
Some homes here in the US put a cast iron pot on top of burner with water in it for added humidity!
Stephanie ( Nati) I hope you are archiving all of these wonderful letters. Imagine how new discoverers of Lalande will relish them in 200 years time!
Why not just chop the wood in 2 or 3 smaller pieces?
Or at least have someone do the chopping.
I think the gifts for the men were very specific who they go to. If you read it carefully.
🖐🏼Nope, I didn't know about the ottor having a pouch for their favourite rock. How utterly adorable. As are those hedgehogs! Awww.
Such heart-warming gifts and literally warming with you rnew duvet!!!
Love, Jacqueline from New Zealand who also has a large log on the fire 🔥
The logs. Trying to put a gallon in a pint pot comes to mind. 😂
I have to say, it was the first time I had heard the otter story lol. How adorable 🤗
me too
@@janinebarron2691 me too😂
My partner and I also call each other my otter half, and have for years. There are videos of the otters floating around holding hands. =)
The chemistry between you3 (all the Lalanders!) are wonderful. ♥️🇿🇦
Decant the salts into wee pouch bags with ribbon for the guests, that way its a treat for them NOT from a half used jar !! No one would use that much for a short stay anyway !! And it would be just the right amount for a guest stay. Xx
And yes, Stephanie and Philip, I chose a range of glove styles, material and colors with no particular Chateau personality in mind. So anyone can step up and claim their favorite pair of winter wear, male or female!
I thought the gloves you sent to LaLande were fabulous Michael, you are so generous. I also thought Philip’s choice was the perfect pair for him. 👏👌
You are always so thoughtful in your gift giving ❤
🤗 Michael T: You're very kind. Love your charming (& useful) gifts 🎁. I'm sure the rest of the ⚜️LaLande men will line up for them 🧤.
😉 Maybe even the ladies who spend a lot of time outdoors🌾. Your cards are wonderful too.
🙏God bless you!🕊
💚Bridget from Cali☘️
(using my pal's YT acct)
I am sure Dan will love 😍 the working gloves. He needs them.
. . .and Dan the Man! (The gloves!)
I'd love to see that duvet! As always, fun time and lovely gifts! I never miss one🤩
FYI there are jackets with battery operated heaters inside the coats. Originally developed for ski coaches standing on hills all day in the cold. Cheers from Toronto
First time I’ve heard about otter pit pocket! So cute we have otters here I had no idea how specialized they are thank you P.
I binge watched all your past vlogs during the quarantine, and I am now a faithful viewer, thank you, but I had never heard Phillip talk of the behavior of otters before today! I did know they hold hands while they sleep and rest afloat in the water so as not to drift apart, but I did not know whey have an underarm pouch in which they store a rock! I love that Phillip says they store "their favorite rocks" in these pouches, though I think they place rocks in these pouches as a way to counter their buoyancy. Maybe both perspectives are true, the rocks provide weight and make them less buoyant/floaty and they become attached to the rock which is the right weight for them!
Darn! Was hoping to see the duvet all situated!!
Guess we’ll have to wait for the next vlog 😋
Beautiful gifts as always !
Pls next time show us your new beddings 😍
Hugs to everyone
It’s the first time I’ve ever heard this about the otters!! Love it:)
Michael always sends wonderful gifts
I love to see the gifts from all over the world! Thank you for introducing me to a world of new products to shop for online!! Lol. Enjoy!!
Muy Feliz Cumplí Nattie. What a joyful video, the Snowman cards are priceless. Thanks so much for always having such delightful moments and fun.
lol split the log first lol
Ok at around 21:14 minutes when Phillip opened the otter socks, I fully expected a pun from him such as “they were “ otterly adorable”. 🤣. This was a fun vlog. Thank you !
Such wonderful gifts. I love watching gift opening and anything La Lande. I check every day to see if anything has been posted. Thank you so much for sharing.
I knew about otters holding hands to sleep and using rocks to open shells.
Have never heard about the rock pocket! 😮
there's a pair of gloves for Dan too.
It's my first time hearing the favorite rock otter story! ✋😂🥰
As a low waste enthusiast I encourage you to save all the canning jars to use for preserving food, food storage, or anything your heart desires. Or I’m sure the thrift stores around you would love them because people love to thrift canning jars. :)
They have enough clobber to contend with..give them a break
@@ClaraknowsALL221 I get we have a lot to do, but If we don’t make steps to be more eco friendly, even if they require a bit more exertion, the planet is going to die. Now with that being said, I get that a person can only do what a person can do. So that’s why I said “encourage” not “demand.”
I’m glad I’m not the only one who sees s hedgehog figurine now thinks of Phillip!!!! So cute
I loved the necklace. Heat by fire is always the warmest.
i thought you would smother flame, but no. chopping wood though is good for arms.........
This weeks gifts were truly fantastic and generous and will surely be appreciated for a long time.
Really shows how attentive the followers are to details in videos, things mentioned, needed, and the personal styles and likes of everyone at the chateau. How that beautiful duvet with sheet will keep you snug and look smashing with your bed, Sultana sends such fabulous gifts! 😍
Sultana has the best taste. I'm in love withthe coat she sent last winter.
You guys are the sweetest. I enjoy every video.
Beautiful gifts Such generosity
Always a delight to see the awesome gifts
I love you all! Thank you for all you do and all you share❤ xx
Beautiful things, as always. 💗
What a joy to watch, as usual!
Thank you all, you're all so warm and welcoming. I've just had so much fun watching your vlogs. God bless you all for all the fun.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY NATALIE 🎂 🥳 🎉 🎈 🎁
Just wondering if you think the CZcams vlogger gloves are referring to Dan?
Reading the title, I thought for sure you were gifted an electric blanket. I was wrong, but is luxurious to get into a warm, cozy bed in the winter - just as luxe as the beautiful bedding you received!
☃And I LOVED the snowmen cards! I have a heart for snowmen being from MinneSNOWta, USA. ⛄
I knew about the hand holding but I’ve never heard about the rock pocket. I’ll be going down a wiki rabbit hole after the gifts are unwrapped. ❤️🇨🇦
You can definitely put a little sachet with those scrubs and salts in the guests' bathrooms. Very nice!
Julia thank you very much for the brooch!
Such lovely and thoughtful gifts. Blessings.
Beautiful and thoughtful gifts. Enjoyed. Love to all ❤
What beautiful gifts, each one so sensible and will be used so gratefully by the Lalande family. I love sharing your joy and laughter when opening gifts. Thank you 💕🇦🇺
Thank you for the video!
Thank you for sharing. Blessings
such a wonderful Unwrapped. thanks for the laughter and love
Thanks for sharing....I'm amazed at what gifts flow to Lalandé
Every gift was gorgeous!
Wow, what a wonder gifts. And the warm reaction when opening them, you are all beautiful. Love you all Lalanders you are all the most lovely people.
Such a great show Beautiful gifts Sleep tight with your new duvet So comfy
You've donated to many of the charities are dear to my heart. Thank you for your consideration. ❤
How exciting to hear about Michigan and Shipshewanna on the vlog today. Though I am from PA now, I’m originally from Michigan!
I live in Michigan also and we love going to Shipshewana Indiana. If you get a chance Google it. Such a cute little town and fun to see all the Amish riding around in their horse and buggies. Lots of craft and specialty shops.
Wow the gifts today are really nice. Stephanie, I think maybe the zipper pouch might be for putting in the warmers for the hand. Also happy birthday Natalie, happy valentine and then looking forward to Easter. God bless you and yours. Love, jenwhite 💜💕😊
In Canada we can buy little cast iron fans that sit on the wood burner and the heat turns the fan blade and it helps move the heat into the room. And they are very quiet
Aww all very useful beautiful gifts .
I love sea otters! They’re so darn cute!!!
What fabulous bath goodies, did they say the proceeds go towards adults with learning problems. If they are a charity perhaps they could be considered for your Cadeaux donations
Happy Monday Sue, That’s so thoughtful of you, Thanks for your positive review, How are you.. where are you from and how’s the weather over there?
Loving your Jacket Stephanie it’s Fabulous 👌🏻👍👍❤️
Thank you for the gratuitous glimpse of the casa pupo......xxxx
What beautiful gifts again today. Stephanie, I had a little giggle when you said you had a rather thin feather duvet that is not quite warm enough for winter - I have the opposite problem of having a feather duvet that is too warm for our climate, so I said (to the TV) ‘Let’s swap’!!😅🥰
Happy Birthday Natalie!
What lovely gifts. I love Phillips determination in getting the log in the fire, well done 🔥😁. Xxx❤️🇬🇧
First time hearing about the precious little otters ❤
Great vlog! Thanks Stephanie, Phillip and Nattie
Loved this vlog!
Omg, that duvet cover and duvet are amazing! You are going to enjoy them so much. What lovely gifts.
Wonderful gifts again.
Happy Birthday Natalie as my birthday to yesterday as well the 27th hope you have a lovely day
The snowman cards were hilarious!😊
I do the floor stretches in my bed! It works well because I have a firm mattress!
Thank you to share valentine's gift guys enjoy🥰
Drinking game = One drink every time Philip says "Beautiful". So cute.
🤣😅
And 1 everytime Stephanie says I love it. 😁
simply wonderful
Adore all of you. ❤
Beautiful Gifts. Everyone Is So Kind Stephanie. Philip Nati. Love To You All. Xx 😘😊
I love all the colors of the enamel wood stoves.
It was awesome to see and hear of someone from Michigan ! And buying from Shipshewana Indiana And seeing it in France! I’m from Sturgis mi. USA!❤
Curtains for kitchen the blue border. Or, you could use as ties against long curtains for a room.
And the otters mate for life.
I know it sounds silly but I find a joyful when Stephanie calls out the State that the gift comes from. Am I the only one? Lol
What incredible gifts. Awesome caddeau. The gloves with the zipper can be use to put hot pocket warmers in them. You can buy packets of hot pockets which you squeeze and they heat up. I loved the otter socks and hedgehogs.
Phillip my 3 yo son is mad about otters too for similar reasons. He even had an otter themed birthday last year.
I recommend an Aussie wool comforter.
Belated happy birthday Nati!!!! Hugs from moi in Canada!🎈🎁
Those scrubs look great... I couldn't help but notice, though. The jars they came in were jam canning jars. They cost around £30 for x6, so once used wash them out and reuse them for future jam projects, being glass, they won't hold on to smells once washed. Xx
What a joy it is to share your happiness and loving humility. You receive such thoughtful gifts and always show such true delight in them. Your little clan of friends are truly special and intriguing. . 🌻 always remember to take a moment out of each day, make a small memory with a friend and place it in your heart ❤
Stay warm, healthy and happy 😊
