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:

Wow, one couldn’t make these gifts up, if they tried! They’re just so unique and adorable!!

[@mjgoingplaces8111]

I love when Stephanie and mummy looked at each other, smiled and grabbed their hands together. Such a warm moment! ❤

[@jillychandler]

Phillip is such a sweetie, and so thankful for all he gets. He is a genuine lovely person. What fab presents. xxx

[@michaelt8727]

Love that Philip and Stephanie's relationship is obviously so comfortable, close and natural that they are able to share Philip's birthday gift unwrapping. It was such a joy to watch them together.

[@mcharlie260]

Philip & Stephanie are so cute I could burst ❤️

[@dittedyret]

Anyone else needs a book voiced by Stephanie? It sounds so good when she reads cards and such aloud :)

[@autodidactin]

Her pure, clear diction is an absolute joy to us, the hard of hearing.

[@stephaniewilliams9469]

Those classes Mummy sent her to when she was little really paid off! She sounds beautiful when she speaks!

[@lrlasvegas6427]

@@stephaniewilliams9469 what classes were those?

[@ladycharlotte8693]

Go to the quarantine diaries by Stephanie…she reads a lovely old book in 3 or 4 parts…..she could make a career of reading….I also loved it when she taught us about toile…❤

[@connihudson1578]

Absolutely,

[@anandhicooray5512]

What a load of very lovely gifts to a very nice man. Happy birthday Phillip! What comes through is your amazing love and kindness to animals and to those around you. Truly a part of Leland tradition.

[@chr.orzschig926]

Philipp and Amaury always remind me of charming young princes at a medieval court . You know lighting up the court by being young and graceful . And loyal to the bone toward the chatelaine like in a childrens' story book.

[@livingthegoodlifechannel]

Philip: If those items are sterling, I am in complete amazement at this beautiful gift even more! I adore sterling as much as you do.

[@margielynch7196]

Phillip, you are a very deserving man for all you do for the Chateau and for Stephanie. I am wishing you not only a happy birthday also a happy life.

[@stephaniewilliams9469]

Tell Wendy to start her own KZbin channel giving tutorials on how to make her little woodland creatures and accessories! Her imagination is lovely! Such a sweet soul! Does she have an Etsy shop?!

[@cynthiamckenzie1462]

I love Wendy! Such a talented soul!🤗♥️

[@jerryh6789]

I would love if she had a Etsy shop

[@tammiewilson5185]

I adore how your cheeks flush when you are having big feelings of gratitude Phillip. Happy birthday!

[@belyndaperry7877]

I absolutely love watching gifts being opened by people who receive them so graciously. Great gifts, too.

[@johncunningham1098]

The best part of all of this is knowing all the people this revenue will help. God bless.

[@gailgoldys8010]

Lots of love Philip on your birthday Oh to be your age again Blessings for a long and beautiful life❤

[@WhatSarahLikes1]

That Robe is very 'King and I'. Omg. The cuddle test.

[@msilas5577]

You deserve it Philip, you’re a splendid chap

[@queaniesincetip4363]

So wonderful to see Phillip's room - I don't think we've ever seen it? I LOVE it! And it is just how I would envision his 'gentleman's' room. Also, the silver lidded bowl at the end would be great for ice on a drinks tray (and the legs would keep the moisture off the tray). Best wishes for a wonderful year, Phillip!

[@stephaniewilliams9469]

Sending love to Isabelle! The Chateau is even brighter when she is there!! Tiny but fierce, indeed! I love her spunk!

[@karlanorvell9573]

Oh, I spoke too soon. The silver pieces are exquisite. I can just imagine how Phillip will use them for table settings.

[@carenvisser607]

Philip you are so clever and you are always so present in the moment.

[@juliakrowiak1964]

Could you two be any cuter (lol)?? Happy Birthday Phillip!!

[@jilljensenliving]

Happy Birthday Phillip. Wendy is such a kind and generous woman! It is so nice to see a carefree slice of life. Just what I needed . ♥️

[@lrlasvegas6427]

Philip, you should give us a room tour on your channel sometime! Would love to see all your objects of affection. Feliz cumpleaños!

[@trishzurlino1543]

Yes please. I second that. I love that room. Very tastefully decorated.

[@susanair3611]

What a beautiful box of silver treasures. I gasp out loud as you opened and enjoyed each treasure. Things in America don't hold a candle to Europe. Happy Birthday Phillip!

[@jonimarchese7655]

Happy Birthday Phillip, you are a bright spot in anyone's cloudy day. Enjoy!

Holding hands with your mummy is precious. My mama went to be with th3 Lord 3 years ago, and I miss holding her hand...tears.😥😘

[@jfs59nj]

I’m always astounded by the generosity.

[@nickywarner5826]

Such a joy seeing you so happy Philip, very well deserved- the joy, kindness and love you send out…. coming back to you❤ I love seeing you and Stephanie enjoying yourselves, so intune, a perfect match 👏🏼🍂🍁🌳🍄✨

[@rankinstudios5342]

Happy Birthday, Philip! You deserve all of the love that has been showered upon you. You are simply a delight to behold. Bless you and Stephanie and all whose lives you touch. The world is a better place with you in it.

[@jeanmkaufmann]

Happy Birthday Philip!!! Cheers!🥂

[@karlanorvell9573]

Beryl makes the most wonderful sweaters/jumpers. This one for Phillip, might be my favorite. Love the colors and pattern.

[@josephinetetley-jones2727]

Yes it's stunning and perfect colours for autumn!

[@patriciarinaldi9390]

What a lovely Athon Wood is adorable I love the poem and the display ...oh frame the poem with the Table

[@jenniferkessener1111]

Happy birthday Phillip! Delightful to see you happiness with the gifts, especially the jumper and sillver.

[@cecilea6938]

The 3 big "salt and pepper" with the round top (the one that was missing at first) are actually for powdered sugar (sucrier saupoudreur - sugar sprinkler) ;-) And the two little bowls are for salt (there should be a very little spoon with each), of course you can use them for other things but not pickles since silver doesn't like vinegar :)

[@bindihughes1146]

HAPPY BDAY PHILLIP!🎉🥳🎂🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁👑 AND as always, THANK YOU! Love from Oz.🥰🌞🐝🐝🌼🌻

Philip, that beautiful soul, seemed quite moved at all the generosity. May he be blessed with a long and happy life (he’s already made a good start!)

[@deanebrownfield6866]

Happy birthday Philip!beautiful gifts for a beautiful man. You are blessed but, we are the ones who are enlightened and comforted by your kind and gentle ways. What a wonderful voice. I would beg to hear you read actuary tables. The best to you and yours on your special day. LaLande suits you well indeed.

[@camillewinnie27]

Wendy’s little woodland creatures are the most adorable things I’ve ever seen. And I totally relate to Phillip’s love of little creatures. They are always my favorite too! Happy Birthday Phillip!

[@robertarogers998]

Stephanie and Philip in the library card. Oh my goodness. I laughed out loud. What a beautiful vlog. I love as always hearing Stephanie reading the poems in French to us all. Blessings to all for making us all feel so good. What beautiful gifts and love.

Have a very Happy Birthday to the handsome and elegant Philip!

❤❤ Happy Birthday, you are a very kind soul stay true to yourself and take care. ❤❤

[@kellyhawes9293]

Such beautiful silver! I have to think that Hilly knew that Philip will love and cherish such fabulous pieces. It's hard to pass on silver, not many young people are interested. So, it's found a good home in the chateau where it will be used and loved. ❤

[@andreacatzel8259]

You deserve all these superb gifts, Philip! So wonderful to see you being acknowledged and appreciated for all that you are to Steph and Lalande. Have an even more exciting year… if that’s possible. Love to you all! ❤

[@lawrencebaker2318]

Phillip, you will get hours of joy this winter deciphering all those silver marks! Your heartfelt emotion at the end was so lovely and telling about your good character. The fun, joy and love shared in Cadeaux always fills my heart with emotion!

Happy Belated Birthday Phillip. Looks like you received many happy returns.

Happy birthday, Phillip.🥰🙏

[@a_highland_life]

Happy birthday 🎂 Philip. You really need to get yourself a cabinet de curiosité so that you can display all your silver, small and large and also your little animals. Without risk of losing them or having to dust them. Where is that room, I have not seen it before. X

[@sherryrector2275]

Wow. Beautiful sliver gifts. That spoon for fruits is awesome.

Happy birthday, Philip! 🎉🧁

Happy Birthday, Philip! Gee, you looked so good in everything. and I loved the little vacuum/vortex around Mummy that seemed to suck in all the bags and ribbons. Hilarious 😀

[@lisebjerring9197]

The one Mummy holds is for sugar. Beautiful things.

[@3_times_mum520]

Soulmates spring to mind.😊 Happy birthday 🎁🎉 I remember before Stephanie and Philip told the world that they were seeing each other. I was honestly thinking, he is totally into her 😂 I am so glad to see, so much happiness at La Lande.

Thank you all for sharing your world with all the viewers of You Tube. You have opened our eyes to the potential that bestows you. Phillip is a true gentleman and scholar. He works hard and shares his expert opinions. I can see why Stephanie chose him over all of her other suitors. Happy Birthday to you, Phillip.

Happy Birthday, Philip! LaLande will soon need a foot(wo)man to polish silver.

[@wendymorrison5803]

Happy birthday young Phillip. ( I can say being less than a year from 60) The open salt dishes and pepper pots are very "stately home" . The other silver items are delicious. I expect they are the product of many happy hours of hunting. And now to be many happy hours of research and discovery. Perhaps once the cold descends, in Beryls cuddly jumper, by the fire. Happy travels in Egypt. Be safe, well and happy.

[@pamkullman8839]

Happy Birthday to Phillip! Wonderful gifts! I laughed at the sour patch kids candy...they are my daughter's favorite!

[@jaxstorey6734]

How absolutley generous that person was to send all that absolutely precious and beautiful silver! I was wondering if those 2 little silver things with feet might be egg cups? 🥚 An interesting fact about using silver as cutlery, plates, drinking vessels etc, is that it helps kill bacteria! 🦠This was discovered in the 1800's, I think it was, when people were dying from bacterial infections but not the royal family due to their use of silver. And that's how colloidal silver came about as an absolutely powerful, yet oh-so-simple healing tool for all sorts of issues, which can be used both topically and internally. Philip, drink your water every day out of that beautiful silver goblet. Thank you for sharing this very special gift-giving sesion with all of us. I just drink it all in. Love, Jacqueline from New Zealand 🍁🐁🐿🍂

Philip, The beautiful cruet set reminds me of the wine and water cruets used during the Consecration in the Catholic Mass. I'm going back to my childhood when I watched everything going on in great detail during that part of the Mass particularly.
