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:

Good luck finding the sun in Scotland. I spent all of my childhood summers there and it always rained

[@jomeyer13]

nice sugar creamer for the breakfast table or tea....

[@amyogden7376]

I have the same cut glass sunflower pitcher from my great grandmother ♥️

[@susanmaschke8701]

Oh my goodness the silver vases would be so beautiful with stunning flowers on the table in any season!!! 💐

[@canderson7923]

You and Philip should create a coffee table book on all your friends’ French Chateaus. And a separate book on Chateau Lalande.

[@mariadange06]

Michael's presents are beyond generous and of exquisite taste 😍

[@maryb.7043]

This was so fun that I sat here giggling at the dynamics between you three. It feels like a relaxed and sincere friendship. :)

[@trinitystarclararose7118]

I too enjoyed it immensely. It was much fun, and your observation it’s so accurate.

[@lisaloy2011]

Great water or iced tea pitcher

[@susanmaschke8701]

The pink Long pillow with the palms would be gorgeous in the grand salon when the sofas are in the room.

[@robinred1946]

Happy belated Birthday, Philip! It fun seeing all

[@ronaldhorton2438]

The three of you are a delight. Thank you for sharing Phillip's delayed birthday. What room did you use in this video, I don't remember seeing it before. The painting behind Philip is gorgeous. Nice to see three bright and beautiful faces. Thank you.

Happy belated birthday, precious Philip. I just enjoyed this wonderful 🎁 💝 opening with love, laughter, and my best wishes. Such lovely and a few fun gifts received. Stephanie... you are as always a hoot. And your knife weilding helper😂😊, always a pleasure when you help with the 🎁 presentation videos. 🥳🤎🦔🌻

[@JudythJ60]

The silver vases are beautiful. I would see if canning jars would fit perfectly inside to protect the insides from continuous exposure to water!

[@lgrigg5439]

Happy birthday to the gorgeous Philip 🎉 life would never be the same without you at the Chateau. Marie we just love you!! always a smile on your face looking beautiful like always.

[@hollykeller1545]

[@mocarra100]

Philip, I have told both my husbands this. What's yours is mine, and what's mine is mine. Need I say more, 2 husbands 😂 much love from Oklahoma USA Jackie 🇺🇸 💖

[@nancyhelgeson9934]

What a wonderful birthday for Phillip with all the great gifts! He does deserve them! My grandparents immigrated from Norway, and Marie reminds me of the Norwegian "style" that I am familiar with. 🥰

Happy belated birthday Phillip! Another interesting 'Michael' cadeaux.

[@martinethevenau69]

Beautiful and thoughtful gifts. Love the pudding jumper and block of cheese with pop up mouse. 💗🐭🧀

[@Ivymeg]

Rolling off the bed laughing! Steph exclaims: “Wendy…I love this - it’s a pigeon!” “It’s a male pigeon!” “ I knew just like that!”(Steph quickly snaps her fingers in Z formation…) Who doesn’t love the Chateau Diaries?

[@kathymalloy6246]

Happy Birthday Philip! ❤🎉🎉🎉 love the painting behind you Philip. Just beautiful 😘 Happy Birthday Stephanie also😘🎉🎉

That leather mouse would be perfect for a computer mouse (and cables)! :)

[@jannahughes3121]

Happiest of birthdays to you Philip! I hope you have a wonderful day.

[@lindascott2008]

The silver vases will be gorgeous on the dining table with Marie's flowers and Phillip's lovely table settings. I will be looking for them to be used in the next guest weekend guest dinner, I'm sure they will want to use them right away, so lovely. Michael sure sends a lot of very nice gifts.

[@carmeladeck6948]

Happy Birthday Philip.🎉 Hope you had awesome Birthday.

[@lcg5790]

Happy belated birthday Philip!

[@carenvisser607]

That painting behind Phillip is stunning. I don't remember seeing it before. It is one of your Dad's. Whow magical.

[@kimmartin160]

It is the last painting her father did. Technically not finished. Phillip surprised Stephanie and got it framed.

[@BernardDauphinais]

Yes, isn't it gorgeous!

[@hahna77]

​@kimmartin160 it's not the same one. This one is finished and has been framed & hanging in Steph's sulking room/office for some time. It's actually my favorite & likely hers too. The one your speaking of is unfinished/his last, and is newly framed & hung in Natti's office/coctail corner.

[@margielynch7196]

What a wonderful belated birthday.

[@Jinjerella]

Marie should definitely use those candlesticks in some centerpiece arrangements for a holiday table.

[@jillbainbridge6747]

Loved the birthday video for Philip! It is so great to see the positive changes in Marie, too. She's beaming and looks happy at last.

[@rolo4945]

I’ve got a little fairy garden for the grandchildren, with owl solar lights. You need solar lights in the woods attached to twig chandeliers

[@maryannaarnold3817]

Happy Belated Birthday Philip!!!! AND many, many more!!!!

[@susanmaschke8701]

The bird poster would be cheerful in the laundry room

[@jac1797]

I absolutely love the card of you and Philip as prince and princess! It looks just like you both!

[@josephinetetley-jones2727]

😂 I love the 3 of you together. That was fun!❤❤❤

[@lovereikiASMR222]

Happy belated Birthday Phillip! XO

[@heidicolburn6222]

Stephanie and Philip my husband and I just got back from 16 days in Scotland, it’s beautiful amazing. We where very lucky and had 16 days of no rain until the night we left. Good luck with the weather. Have a fabulous time. We loved it so much we are going back for sure

[@nikkicat71]

Philip could make a beautiful winter/icy wonderland table with those crystal candle holders.

[@MYJ61]

Philip and I were on the same page with your new sunglasses. Definitely conjuring up images of young Grace Kelly! ❤

[@yvonnesullivan4388]

Cut crystal is so beautiful luv those pieces.

[@louettahuddleson7194]

Happy Belated Birthday Philip. 🎉🎊🎉💞💝💞

[@elelemon]

Happy Birthday!!! What is a jumper is that a sweater!!!

[@peterwhite9261]

Happy Belated Birthday, Phillip. It warms my heart to see you be spoiled with those beautiful presents. Marie and Stephanie are beautiful as always.❤

[@maurawhelan3530]

So nice to see Maria happy! happy birthday Phillip. Love the repartee between you and Stephanie. You two are so sweet!

[@wendygrimwood8122]

They were a vintage find

[@bigboy77dk]

The gifts where wonderful! Those silver vases could easily fit on my table as well!! 😂

[@alicekenworthy9603]

Such beautiful gifts Philip … no wonder you are overwhelmed with love. Actually when I saw Stephanie sporting her stunning sunglasses the first name that came to me was that of Audrey Hepburn … her sunglasses were her signature ! Enjoy being spoilt Durban SA 🇿🇦

[@christineh5790]

Stephanie, what an hilarious Cadeau this was at times, you three make for perfect hosts. Marie you made me laugh re the health and safety department but you are so right!😅 What an exquisite poster from Michael which perhaps could be ironed on the back using a cool iron with protective material over it, then maybe hung somewhere like in the hallway off the kitchen? Happy belated Birthday Philip, so nice seeing you receive some beautiful items for your tablescapes and you make such a handsome Christmas pudding in your new knitted jumper.🥰🥰🥰

[@nancytysor7098]

Oooo La La....Wooo weee....great sunglasses!!!!🎉
