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 ๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’–

If you would like to see more of our life at the chateau, please go to our main 'Chateau Diaries' channel:

    Nothing like a gift opening to cheer me up.
  • @julieallen5655
    Lovely gifts! Please can you update us regarding who received donations since November last year? Would be lovely to know who benefited ๐Ÿ˜Š
  • @ottarsdatter
    Aha, we should have twigged the beautiful lady from her profile alone. It's Princess Anne's commemorative wedding cameo! Yay for Google Lens!

    The round piece in the manicure set is for removing ear wax. It works so much better and is better for your ears than using a cotton swab. You put it into your ear canal and twist, and the wax attaches to the sort of screw part and it pulls it all out in one go. Where as when you use a cotton swab it actually pushes the wax further down into the ear canal which can compact the wax and block your ear canal. Phillip was correct about the instrument with the little V shaped end. It is for trimming your cuticles and the little bits of skin around the cuticle. All of the gifts were so very lovely. I would literally be on top of the world if I received such beautiful things. I cannot even imagine opening a box and receiving all of those amazing gifts. I loved every one of them. You are all so incredibly blessed!
  • WOW!! I want to be on Ziggy & Jay's gift list!!!! Each one of those gifts is amazing!
  • Mark 26 minutes: my mother (born in 1927) always referred to that "open work" as "faggoting." Wonderful generosity of gifts, and a pleasure to watch such thoughtfulness always received with enthusiasm and delight:)

    The Wedgwood's Jasper wares are: Princess Anne vintage 1970's Pale blue pin dish; the stern looking gentleman looking to the right is John Wesley; and the little one could be a copy of the 1980's 250th anniversary of Wedgwood.
  • @user-es9mb8wi3m
    The two of you will have the most beautiful and well kept nails in France! Lovely gifts.

    Philip, it's so good of you to want a dog and holt your travels for the next 13 - 15 years. They provide so much love and loyalty it's only fitting that owners commit to the same love and constant care they truly deserve. Kudos to you. Hugs and stay well.
  • @piahyer8023
    Love how you set the stage for the most mundane situations and make them come to life Stephanie: "So this will be me, in bed, in winter - please imagine the sexy shoulders - with a good book". Your energy brightens my days!
  • @zanbudd
    The coffee table book to rule all other coffee table books! Food for the imagination at your elevenses tea time โ˜•๏ธ
  • @cathysmiley6798
    I will miss Chรขteau Unwrapped, because iโ€™ve learned about so many different books, products, that I wouldnโ€™t have known about otherwise.
  • Which charities have been supported this year? You haven't listed this since last November and I'm sure your supporters would like to know.
  • @ProfNic1
    Eggselent episode. Love the Pun-tastical Philip in action! ๐Ÿ˜‚โค๐Ÿ‘
  • @thoml1846
    Stephanie I looked up the table cloth and its 50 pounds, They have a whole collection of beautiful items
  • The gifts from Jay were incredible and so personal. The joy that Stephanie shares with each parcel is contagious and makes me smile. Phillip is filled with knowledge and ideas for each gift which is admirable and not forgetting his puns which are heartwarming. Ziggy was so cute with his collection of ties. I think the two of you would be amazing doggy parents.โค๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ•
  • @sharongaines3043
    Beautiful gifts but I think mummy has a long memory and Philip might need to run. ๐Ÿ˜
