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 am Andrea from Oklahoma. I am so excited to see you open the package from me. I am so happy you liked everything. Enjoy it and I can’t wait to see what happiness grows from the seeds you plant. Love all of you and hopefully I am able to visit in person some day. ❤

[@rocknRev4Christ]

Hi neighbor! I'm in Oklahoma too! I got all excited when I heard Stephanie read your note and mention our state! :)

[@barbaralamoreaux328]

It’s going to be a sad day when Cadeaux ends…so much fun to see what people send to you, especially the things they make.

[@sandeehigby1284]

When will it end, do you know?

[@RinaValentina]

They should just carry on with it and give what they don’t absolutely love to the charity shop or sell in their store, I’ve just started doing that myself with things I’ve been given over the years but haven’t got the storage space for so need to declutter, if it’s not incredibly special & something I really really love off it goes to the donation pile lol 😁

[@judyrocks1000]

I so agree with you. I am dreading that day.

[@judyrocks1000]

Will you still donate to charities after cadeau stops?

[@terrigray6044]

It will stop at the end of this year. Stephanie said they will still donate to various charities.

[@lynnnadeau7162]

I agree with one of your other comments. When I saw so many amazing cards, one is hand sewn, I immediately thought of a wall full of those unique and beautiful cards that would be so hard to throw away. It would be a memory as well as the most unique wallpaper design ever! You are all so blessed! ❤️🙏

[@brooke7464]

Now you definitely need a two story library for all the interesting books you've been given. The wallpapers looked very interesting

[@charleswalker1185]

Your window chandelier will rainbow the room!!

Thank you

[@claudiahunt3346]

Thank you!

[@toddmurphy523]

My eyes were drawn to your earrings since the moment you put them on. They are so unique. Beautiful design.

[@williampierce2356]

Hello and a big shout out to all of you. Love you and follow you on this journey has been a marvel every step of the way. I keep saying that the chateau is like the Phoenix. She will rise from her ashes and the glory she will be again.❤ All of you work so wonderful together and it is grueling work and it is work that never ends so it comes down to what you already know. You are the keepers of the chateau and she is a lifetime of upkeep for all to enjoy and to continue to work and keep her looking her grand self. I'm going to miss chateau unwrapped when it stops. It got me through several low points in my life but enough of that now. Thank you Stephanie and all the family. God bless you all 🙏

[@bethlewis582]

You should make a collage of all the beautiful cards you've received.

[@Molly-ec8ec]

OH I‘m so glad you liked the funny animals drawn by Hannah Dale on the forks and cups! And those earrings are absolutely great! I have to get them and will google them. Have a nice week all of you! Viele Grüße aus Deutschland, that is Bavaria 🙋‍♀️

[@mavep2855]

As always, beautiful and thoughtful gifts given from people who truly appreciate what you and your KZbin presence is all about. The fact that all the revenue from this vlog go to support many worthwhile charities is outstanding. Thanks Stephanie and Philip🙏🏼❤️

Can you update the description to include this year's charities. I hope the orphanage got another one this year. So sad that so many people need so much help from us all, but so happy we send our charity locally and globally. ❤

Those towels looks nice enough to frame!

[@shirleyhenderson9978]

I noticed black scorch marks on my coffee table ,shocked to see it was the hot summer sun reflecting on a Chrystal in the window actually burning it ,I had never realised this could happen ,

[@Adriana_mg]

While watching I thought the exact thing, crystals can do that

[@claudiahunt3346]

I’ve never had that happen with any that I’ve made

[@sandeehigby1284]

I love these, it can you pretty please fix the lamp shade!!!!it is NOT STRAIGHT!!!!

[@isabellejarvis7805]

It upsets me too!

[@lawrencebaker2318]

Lovely and fun, as always! Sounds like you are planning a fitting end to Cadeaux. I am so glad you will give it a proper finale.

[@irvanairvana4055]

Yes, it needs a proper finale.

[@BarbaraatQueensAvenueTarot]

Those earrings...wow! I think they could also be worn with the bar in the back just to change them up once in awhile.

[@charleswalker1185]

You guy are so much fun!

[@letticason8435]

Scrub daddy and scrub mommies are awesome. Everyone’s love language is to see someone open gifts. Have a fabulous day.

[@sherryrector2275]

So enjoyed this video and how touching to see and hear you and Phillip laughing and enjoying how you will share books and other gifts. It felt very personal and very interesting to watch your reactions to everything. Thank you for making me feel so much better.

I think Mummy should have the window chandelier! Since she sparkles like a gem.

How sweet are people sending you lovely gifts ♥️

Stephanie and crew... back in 2020 I hand made an oak Chateau de La Lande sign that was featured in an early Cadeaux episode. I really had hoped to see it make an appearance somewhere. I would love to know where it ended up.

[@TheBTG88]

If I had to guess - and I do - I would say they are holding on to it prior to completing the renovation of the exterior walls of the chateau.

[@KodieS]

Hopefully! I put serious time into it and not that I have an expectation that it be displayed front and center, but it would be nice to know it was in use or at least part of a plan. @@TheBTG88

[@rmil4531]

It sounds like you are disappointed….that’s a pity. I can imagine where they store all the gifts, todays episode had Christmas presents from last year….. keep you eyes peeled it maybe somewhere not obvious.
