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:

As for the other gifts with notes, they were joyfully sent. Philip was spot-on when he noted that the Val Saint Lambert decanter was originally introduced as a vanity/nightstand set. The full set in excellent condition is rarely on market. Now to the Mary Gregory glassware: Months ago in one of the Chateau Diaries videos Stephanie was admiring similar glasses at a street brocante. That triggered some digging and I eventually managed to find two for sale online. I scooped them up and off they went to Lalande. The antique brass musical statues happened to catch my eye and I thought they might sit nicely around the piano...or wherever a hint of the sound of music might be needed. Could that be called--- wait for it Philip --- band aid?
Michael you are the most generous person, everything you send is exquisite.
Your taste and generosity are unmatched. I'm filled with anticipation every time Stephanie announces that it's a parcel from Michael. May we all meet at Lalande one day.
Michael, your taste is exquisite and your generosity inspiring! Bless you. Love to you. ❤
Michael, please send a short intro video or pic so we can put a face to the delightful, generous, humorous man that you are.
Such incredible thoughtful and beautiful gifts Michael.
I'd love to get to meet Michael somehow through your videos. He sounds like someone who has excellent taste, a lot of cash to splash around and some serious talent with writing. I think I will miss everyone sharing a part of their own life stories along with the gifts they send when Chateau Unwrapped comes to an end. I love to hear the heart warming and sometimes heart breaking stories. It makes the people around the world feel a bit closer.
Well said!
Agreed! The stories humanize us to each other.
Michael's gifts are exquisite. I will miss Chateau Unwrapped but especially Michael's
Michael strikes again! What classic gifts, exquisite taste. Beautiful gifts from everyone.
Yes, Michael is a very special person! Hopefully we will meet him someday! Keri💜
You could leave a book like that on a coffee table for all of your guests to write notes to you guys, I think that would be so sweet and fun to read.
I just got a silky black blouse that has red tulips going down each side to wear for Thanksgiving, your scarf just reminded me of my shirt so much we could be twinning. 👯♀️
Lovely gifts and crafts. Michael T. is indeed a legend. He has exquisite taste, what a generous person!
I just love Chantal and Stephanie together! They have the same smile
Such beautiful, thoughtful gifts from each person and Michael T’s excellent taste, thoughtfulness, and generosity speaks to a very kind soul who delights us all.
Michael the glasses are incredible so beautiful. Thank you.
Indeed, short but sweet. Such beautiful gifts. Lancelot seems to be in his glee.
Please do tell Michael Petherick about this letter. He got snarky comments on some videos and now seldom releases content. He needs to hear that even of some don't like his videos, others love and need it.
Please bring Michael over to LL, for a special party. We all want to meet him:)
Always lovely to see your aunt doing gifts with you - she is such a wonderful, generously minded person. I love her. The little dog is such a lovely addition to proceedings too.
She is indeed wonderful. Chantel s delightful and so encouraging and supportive. Pure love … wonderful family.
I agree! It’s Chantal with an « a » in French
I have notices Stephanie that you have such a glow on you, ever since little Lancelot came along. Xx
Do not store water in old lead crystal. Its ok to drink out of it, but not to store liquid for long periods of time. I know it's hard to accept, my favorite bed side glass for water was lead crystal. Just use the decanters for decoration.
White port assuredly.
Michael is amazing. Fabulous taste and wit.
Hopefully you have received my package in. May.. Lancelot is a wonderful little dog ❤ I see that he loves Stephanie
I love the happiness and joy you both get and give, when you receive your lovely gifts.
With happiness,
Audri
Thank you for your Cadeaux series. Your videos keep me smiling while there is no video from Chateaux La Land. You are the only vlog I follow, and funny enough from your portrait mode filmed video no.1 when doing the mighty historical dresses.
I am sending warm greetings from Prague. Oldrich 👠
PS. I realised I have the same boy and girl glasses at home only in spring grass green colour. 💚
Lovely gifts!!! 🥰❤️🇨🇦🎶🎶🎶
Beautiful thoughtful gifts from such kind people. Thanks for sharing the excitement of opening them all 😀❤️👏
Love your home and family 17 min . Is very much appreciated .
Love the blue glasses and and all the jewelry. I am inspired. I need to finish my cross-stitch items for Christmas.
Wonderful video, love Aunt and Uncle, Phillip and Stephanie, love you all so much!!!
Pumpkin mousse is delicious! Several vegan and no sugar options on the internet. Beautiful glasses… enjoy! Thanks for bringing us along😊🍁
Beautiful and very generous gifts as always!
Lots of fun today. You guys were in rare form!
Lovely presents! Thank you for the video!
Lovely gifts. 🦋
Loved the earrings with the flowers. Gorgeous
Always a treat
Wonderful gifts!
Little Lancelot so darling, looking to stay so close to you Stephanie. Michael is always very generous! Beautiful presents, your very lucky x
Michaelt you are amazing, and a very generous person❤
Wonderful gifts from everyone. Blessings.
Stunning gifts 🎁
The notebook is for "Tales from Lancelot"
He's still working on his cursive! 😉
Wow! So nice!
I love the music room so much. The wallpaper is fantasic. When the Grand Salon is finished will you still keep a smaller piano there?
The two brass Musicians BELONG ON THE PIANO !!! Michael said "to accompany Maria ON THE PIANO...so I think thats where they should be...don't you?
The rapport between Philip and Stephanie is rich and amusing. You understand each other so well…….
Have you considered inviting Michael T. to the chateau for a week long stay?
Would there perhaps have been a stopper in the box from Michael for the decanter
That’s what I thought as well
People are So Generous. Some Beautiful Gifts, Have a Lovely Weekend Stephanie Philip Everyone
Xx, 😊😘😊They Do The Glasses In Cranberry Glass.
Love the gifts but the pup takes my attention away from them. He is so adorable to watch.
Where’s the top to the decanter? I know it’s in the box somewhere.
Best part is Lancelot anyway
Does Lancelot have the run on the chateau now? Meaning does he and you have confidence as to where he goes?
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Beautiful again
Stephanie! How is Percy?
Pumpkin mousse
It’s raining here in California. How is your weather?
Lancelot thinks the yellow tissue paper is cheese?
There must be a top on the decanter
Phillip, one day you could do a video showing where some of the Cadeaux items end up in the chateau.
❤🎁❤️
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
👍🍀💐
I don't know if you guys have seen/recognized this, but when Lancelot looks directly face on into the camera, he ACTUALLY looks like he has a tiny little mustache under his nose!! He's such a cute little pup!
🥰🇨🇦
Phillip's mushroom & tweed notebook, it's obviously for forest poems, prose and musings. Not indoor pursuits.
The notebook should be used for something he loves because it’s his notebook.
I’m really hoping we’ll meet Michael maybe on a video
Was there a stopper for the yellow decanter ?
Most probably. And if the original one is lost, antiques dealers always find anoyher one to match
Phillip's pun made me squeamish!🤢 The word " uplifted" will never be the same again.😂 Hoping Tonton Stephen's nail will heal. The gifts were all exquisite especially the set of blue glasses.💙
I think the jewelry is polymer clay.
I knew what you meant Phillip, was tactile the word you wanted? 😊

Prefer the shorter cadeaux.
