HOW TO GO CHRISTMAS SHOPPING WITH THE MAN WHO HATES TO SHOP

[@TheChateauDiaries]

Just to be clear, these aren't Dan the Legendary Gardener's main gifts for his family - those are being kept under wraps till the big day ;)

[@JaxonsDd007]

You have a great crew Stephanie keep ahold of them..everyone is lucky to be part of this tribe..

[@bobbyc6006]

Phew! 😆

[@kevinjewell233]

London is some of the funnest shopping EVER!!!!!

[@ArtfulShelley]

Stephanie, this DEFINITELY one of my favorite videos of yours. And, yes, if you had a giant fake fur and cowboy boots, you would blend in with the Texans in Vail or Aspen. No doubt. lmao

[@sandy-sagerabbitvintage2681]

He may act like he doesn't care but we all know he does. That's why we all love "Dan the Man"!

[@ashwonders16]

Dan: hates shopping Also Dan: goes to Brico every like 5 seconds 😂

[@claudettep212]

True. He is a fraud!

[@lauragraham1122]

I was thinking the same thing!!!!! ha!

[@neenmach]

Brico is not shopping. It essentials.

[@mariapetras5835]

😂😂😂😂😂😂 You all are killing me !!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@moegirl76]

I've said it before, Dan reminds me of the David Tennant Doctor Who. Especially when he wears the blue light glasses!!!

[@danielintheantipodes6741]

I feel for Dan. I love shopping, but his reaction to shopping was not unlike the way I would feel if I found myself obliged to attend a heavy metal concert! Poor man! But, Stephanie, you supported him magnificently! Thank you for the video.

[@katharinavonborcke4144]

🤣

[@bettygamble9486]

You two are fabulous together, a new comedy team. I haven’t laughed this much in awhile. Thank you!

[@nisatrinidad5750]

The shops in London looks so beautiful.

[@kittycarr123]

Well done Dan making a very good point regarding the hedgehog and squirrel commet.

[@ariellesoullighting4309]

Fabulous!! I love seeing the once shy gardener with the untapped as yet filmmaking abilities all cleaned up, no longer just a quiet shy retiring guy - dressed for Town, wearing really cool glasses, looking very handsome and wandering around London with a classy singer as if he belongs. (Because he does!)

[@trinahayden747]

Libertys my favourite….Unbelievable beautiful place ….Dan looks so handsome out of the garden…

[@HollySchuyler]

Lol, Dan and Stephanie should do more videos together. His dry humor and her bubbly personality make for good entertainment!

[@jomeyer13]

Not sure if he could hack that much togetherness. lol

[@wakahere]

Totally agree Stephanie is so bubbly and Dan totally the opposite but the both of them together is hilarious 😆 Stephanie you are the best ⭐️😎💕

[@squirrelsWithPearls]

I 'mustache' that this be an annual feature of the Advent vlogs. Best yet!!!

[@caroledrury1411]

This was really funny! Dan is a gem! There was definitely some schtick going on here!

[@brendabevacqua9617]

Stephanie, you were hilarious in the Ray Ban store 🤣

[@carolann6072]

These just keep getting better and better. Stephanie, your comments (and eyewear choices) whilst in RayBan had me crying with laughter! Thank you for bringing daily fun and joy to us during this holiday season! Merry Advent!!

[@nettybubba7730]

Me too. Loved it. 😅

[@sharonK71]

I absolutely love your personal and close relationship/friendship that you have with everyone! You are so amazing.

[@gabschasse600]

Truly a big extended family of choice .

[@creative227]

Hilarious! The wit and banter between Steph and Dan could not have been better if it were scripted!

[@carollacoste532]

Everything is so Festive in all the shops love the singing

[@aprilninthr2886]

What fun shopping with Stephanie and Dan for THINGS! My favorite. Dan looks so handsome in his new black rimmed glasses. Good choice. He is beginning to really look the part of a film maker, producer and director!

[@metrorealty7631]

Why do I laugh through the videos with Dan? This was priceless, not everyone loves to shop (including my hubs).

[@snoopybluejeans]

Poor Dan. I'm glad he finished shopping, with a Beer. Cheers Dan!

[@TheSchkings]

I haven't laughed out loud so much through a video in a very long time. Stephanie's commentary on how to shop with a man who hates shopping, combined with Dan's obvious loathing of having to do some shopping was absolutely hilarious!! Oh my goodness, Thank you for this!

[@susanduff-silsby2695]

I so loved Dans shades of smiles throughout the episode! Happy smile, listening to music smile, getting bored of listening to music smile, sort of enjoying smile, barely there smile, GRIM smile, Ray Ban smile! Loved it all! Merry Christmas, Susan

[@TheChateauDiaries]

😂

[@johnwilliamtuckey2796]

Hysterical watching Dan! I think down deep he enjoyed himself. LOVE you guy's! ❤

[@mariapetras5835]

Yes he did !!🤫😂😂😂😂

[@fabricofthesky1169]

Even though Dan did not enjoy this shopping trip, I know I certainly did! 😆

[@jeaninepoo5807]

For someone who loves Dan and Stephanie this is one of my favourite vlogs 😍

[@--Valentina-]

Kudos to Dan for knowing exactly what he wants to buy. Those blue-light glasses look great on him!

[@karensotiriou4759]

Enjoyed it all, but found the segment in the ray-ban store hilarious. Love your humour.

[@leslikuyweski4576]

This is a fun vlog! The expression on Dan's face while shopping never changed!! LOL!

[@MAC-op5fc]

Every video is better with a Dan in it. And I loved the video from the Ray-Ban store.

[@brentfisher6484]

Liberty is truly a memorable shopping destination. Cheers for Stephanie and Dan for sharing it with the world beyond London. Thanks!!! "Otherwise two of the wise men will be walking." (Hilarious!! Stephanie!) Those 'mice' and 'hedgehog' ("for Phillip") are adorable as are al the human LaLanders. Thanks for sharing your shopping trip with us all!!!

[@lauragoyette8172]

How fun watching you to interact shopping … I couldn’t Wipe the smile off my face. Dan is a hoot!

[@lisamarutz9772]

How have I never seen, or heard, of this magical Christmas shop🎄❤️🎁

[@oliveappleby8672]

Hamlets is fabulous fun, Libertys is just beyond gorgeous 🎄🎄🎄🥰💋❤️

[@claudine1928]

I'm with Dan. Loved the glasses fashionshow😂, this is fun to watch. Loved both couches, beautifull, as was the carroling sining.

[@jomeyer13]

I had noticed all the eye ware he has been wearing. He is smart too cause all that light, computers, and sunshine is very hard on the eyes.

[@paulabahnsen3821]

So fun! Loved hearing you both voice your thoughts as you shopped!

[@bettylansford]

I really enjoyed this video! You and Dan are a good comedy act just being yourself. Thanks for letting us join in going shopping with a man who hates to shop.. lol

[@metropcs7560]

Wonderful video and it shows another caring part of the Mr. Dan. Thanks for showing the shops and the choirs, loved the sofa. Wonderful Christmas shopping!!! Have a great weekend.

[@dwlee9138]

This video makes me miss my Dad! He also hated shopping and would consult with me on where to park and which entrance and the shortest route to the shop of interest! I even had to translate from my landmarks into HIS landmarks! Thanks for the warm memories!

[@pamkullman8839]

I would just love walking around with you guys! Loved the video!

[@leahhamdaoui7755]

That was fun, shopping with 'Dan's our Man' 💖🌲🏰⭐🦘

[@bredaswitzer1948]

Liberty's looks amazing, i don't think its Dan's kind of shop but at least he got presents in the end for everyone, i love the black glasses with the blue tint ,very professional looking and handsome 😃🐝🦋🌻🌲🤶🎅

[@alisonblack1824]

Dan would have us believe that he hates shopping but if that had been a hardware store with loads of tools I think visions of suger plums would be dancing in Dans head .Dans is to nice of a guy to be a total hum bug after all he has traveled very far to get his wife and boys christmas presents. That was a fun video but I look forward to seeing Philip and Stephanie shopping in London.

[@ellengillies393]

This is so funny iv just got home from being in London today. We went to libertys and I picked up the exact maileg mice you looked at and we even commented on the same lamp that you did. And we even finished the day the good egg having amazing food set exactly where you are. How funny!

[@lancestricklin5271]

Totally feel your pain Dan! Excellent choice of eyewear!

[@cathyjenni6736]

The Best Video from The Chateau Diaries ever. True and raw content. Loved it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@stinki97128]

Loved this vlog. Dan uncomfortable is too good to miss.

[@suehall3298]

Dan & Stephanie shopping is a must to see so funny😂😂😂 Loved it brilliant🤗🤗 Love ❤Sue🎄🎄🎄🇬🇧🎄🎄🎄

[@janetgorman8149]

awwww....Dobby is my favorite Harry Potter character as well! I would love to spend Christmas in London one day, sooooo festive!

[@HollyRose1529]

Thank you for the laughs! Dan not shopping 🛍 is everything! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Ray Ban heaven, now Dan’s happy!

[@delamaiwald327]

I would love to see Dan in the small bric a brac section of Emmaus! Merry Christmas Dan, you did it! Stephanie you are motivational shopper of note!

[@TheChateauDiaries]

That might finish him off!

[@RinaValentina]

[@annettewalter2273]

I loved those lights, I like both the chameleon and the pleated one. I love Liberty’s. You need those tortoiseshell glasses Stephanie.

[@BernardDauphinais]

Classic. Great vlog today, what a blast! Loved you all trying on glasses.

[@healthrecord508]

Dan outside his comfort zone.. a wonder to behold.

[@melinayorke7462]

Smokin’ glasses Dan😎

[@teresat5496]

Stefanie, you are FUNNY! Your dry wit had me in stitches, and Dan as well actually...

[@tinacarrol6702]

Dan The Man!!! 😘😊

[@LA-jf1zn]

Loved shopping with you and Dan! Great times. 🎄

[@suzannehamilton-reid6600]

WOW - it certainly makes a difference to going to the. small shopping centre in my town !!! I don't know if I would be like Dan or embrace the whole thing, or find me rocking in a corner somewhere. I am with Dan I think, every present I have bought this year has been bought online! Merry Shopping 🙂

[@judithjordan3474]

First thing I thought Dan was going to say about the fan shade was "looks like a dust collector!" Turns out that was just me. So funny this shopping trip - you're all enthusiasm, he's all "pish-tosh!" And then I say "that sofa!"

[@franceshnni7380]

steph I had a laugh when u were in the ray ban shop haha you looked so cool you should have bought one pair! Im quite lucky my boyfriend loves to shop with me he’s particularly like you Stephanie and im more of Dan hahah

[@andrea859]

Thanks for the tour of Liberty. Brilliant. So funny too. Love Dan's subtle but clear expressions.

[@cwatson1975]

Liberty’s and the carolers brilliant day if for nothing else. The boys will love the little cars. Every Christmas we would fill the boys stockings with individually wrapped matchbox cars. The play with them for years and years.

[@juliacobb4355]

I think my grandson has every matchbox car ever made! And we built parking lots and car dealerships of them! That was always the first thing he played with.

[@helenohelen7192]

Dan missing Ikea... lol. This ended too sooon. More Dan and Stephanie, best of both worlds.

[@tkucey8689]

the magic you all get to experience, it blows my mind. thank you for sharing it! Oh c'mon Dan, you enjoyed buying the glasses. Ray Ban is to Dan as any Fabric Shop is to Stephanie.

[@josephinedavidson5968]

Miss Lalande and PEOPLE xxx

[@TheChateauDiaries]

We all miss you very much and scarcely a day goes by that we don’t talk about you ❤️

[@carolinegooder7091]

Loved seeing you Jose at Lalande and on Marie's Vlog.

[@louisegatti9262]

I think Dan really had fun shopping with YOU, made for a good Advent vlog with lots of laughs between the two of you. Dan, I am sure is a lot of fun to be with, whether it is in the garden, the digger, the kitchen, with Amaury, the studio, and most likely at home with his family. Loved those singers, could put a person in a real Christmas mood. Those sunglasses sure were fun!!!

[@dawnbutler2846]

Thank you Stephanie and Dan for taking the world to Liberty and Hambleys two of our great stores in London to survive. magic places to visit, even if Dan wasn’t sure. Yes very expensive but so different. Guess Dan would have enjoyed Homebase for Mens tools, Paint etc. sure it was tongue in cheek. From a proud Brit. Happy Christmas and keep safe.

[@lauragraham1122]

So funny !!! Love the running commentary Stephanie. 😂

[@marielvanhees9531]

So we're adding an other to the rhyming list? Gardener Dan the Movember Man with a farmers tan drives a green van while wearing Ray-Ban!

[@nw5835]

Very good!

[@Tracy_R]

I love how things amuse Stephanie and her little giggle is the best. Stephanie Jarvis you have great taste, all the beautiful things you shared us... it was so fun! Lol Dan the runner... "but we've only been here 15 minutes Daniel." Haha

[@sarahknight118]

Loved everything about this!!! Makes me want to drag my husband around London now 🤣

[@Helene2367]

That was funny, especially the glasses store. Loved it

[@Marykguise]

Lol. Poor Dan, but he did good in the end!! I’m glad you were there Stephanie as I think he needed some prodding!!!

[@mamapeck8094]

I love the Liberty’s building and content of course! I’ve spent many hours wandering around

[@darbyking-maillot4105]

This was hilarious and so enjoyable to see all of the beautiful things

[@anitamoolman168]

I thoroughly enjoyed Hamlets. I bought a remote controlled car for my grandson who wanted to crawl. He did eventually by following the car

[@lindalagarce8996]

Lol, I just can’t expresss anything else! Lol typical man, but the rewards will be great of his suffering to shop for the perfect gifts! Lol hugs and love from Texas!

[@sandiebell1676]

So many beautiful items to buy! Thanks for taking us shopping💝

[@cynthialuna5786]

Stephanie you look beautiful in the dark sun glasses. I hope you bought them. Enjoyed the episode, thanks. Take care and God bless you both.

[@TheChateauDiaries]

I didn’t get any sunglasses 😎

[@EmilyBoltz]

Ray-Ban Dan looked good in those blue light specials!

[@Randy8923]

Love the shopps and decorations! Fun video Stephanie and Dan. You both are hysterical. Enjoyed. Love to all ❤

[@karenbrunton6529]

Not used to Dashing Dan in the posh clothes! Could get used to that as an alter-ego. Of course Annelise's excellent haircut makes the look. And the new Ray-Bans. Stephanie, your running narration kept me smiling the whole time. 😁

[@joliec998]

Omg, hysterical clips of Steph in different shades while waiting for Dan! 😎🥸🤓. One of your best vlogs!

[@TheChateauDiaries]

Yay! Thank you!

[@TheFiown]

Many years ago I told my partner that I had never had a teddybear so he bought me a large growler Steiff at Hamleys as a syrprise, I love that bear. I used to go to the Libert sales in January and buy some striped 'cornish ware' for my kitchen, I miss those days.

[@shirleyleichliter4487]

Dan is like let's get it done shops we're nice the choir was really special tell Dan the presents need to be wrapped 😉

[@cliffhorman6846]

I can only say due to textiles wallpaper and home wares and being so quirky... Liberty is my cocaine lol... And the history is also fascinating.. Loved it. Dan is so goofy and funny!

[@jomeyer13]

i love book stores as well as what we saw

[@cliffhorman6846]

[@lorihamlin3604]

My friend took my 8 year daughter Christmas shopping to buy mommy a present. When asked what her mom liked to do for fun she said her mom liked to cook and study, which was apparently all she ever saw me doing. At least I looked like I was having fun! I got a cookbook.

[@jomeyer13]

it is good she thought you did it for fun cause you appeared happy. You do it probably for or cause of love which makes you happy. That is a gift that she sees you so positive and full of love.

Poor Dan. Steph someone once told me men are hunters, they go straight for the kill. Women however are the foragers, and spend as much time as possible doing just that which is the kind of shopping Dan hates! Great vlog.

[@deborahgodley6980]

Just seeing this video from last Christmas.Dan is like The Grinch! He's a great counterpoint to you. Good team. Always loved Liberty when I was living in England .Degree in History of Art and was able to study Pre-Raphaelites and William Morris Arts and Crafts movement. Morris did so many fabric designs for Liberty.Used to spend a lot of time in Victoria and Albert Museum too.Glad some things don't change!
