In 'Cadeaux at the Chateau', all of the inhabitants of the Chateau de Lalande gather together to open beautiful gifts that people have sent from all over the world. All of the monetisation from these videos will be donated to a different charity each month. YouTube earnings fluctuate wildly each month, as ad revenue changes throughout the year.

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:

  • Wouldn’t it be wonderful to have a collaboration between Tilda Fabrics and Chateau de La Lande for the Chateau shop! I would love to buy a table cloth, cushion and napkins! Loved the library embosser and the Chateau stickers too 🌸 Thank you to all the gift senders, it’s joyful to watch Stephanie unwrap your thoughtful gifts 💕
  • Tilda Fabrics, your La Lande inspired patterns are stunningly beautiful!!
  • The gifts were so wonderful! Not sure if it's been said, but I would watch a vlog of the La Landers playing/acting out the Murder Mystery game! Maybe an idea for Halloween?
  • Stephanie, I discovered you on your first Lockdown video. I have been hooked from then. Having grown up in an abusive home I had brought abuse into my adult life. When I found healing I was able to let go. I was still struggling with being happy. Watching you taught me. Happiness is a CHOICE. Waking up grateful started my change. Before long I realized I AM HAPPY AND I LOVE LIFE. So THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING SUCH A POSITIVE INFLUENCE ON ME PERSONALLY. Sending you and ALL at LaLande Love and appreciation for ALL YOU DO🙏💜🤍❤️🙏
  • If someone made sets of placemats and table runners with the fabric, they’d be a big seller in your new gift shop.
  • @hardamber
    Well done Tone Finnanger! I loved the fabrics so much I’m at your website shopping before I even finished watching Unwrapped! I’m in love with your fabrics! ❤️
  • Love that Gerry is back for a visit! He loves to paint and is so good at it. I see a painting project happening with Stephanie. A Patron hinted that Percy had a Visa issue that was solved, so perhaps Isabelle and Percy are arriving soon. 😘😘😘😘
  • So lovely to see Gerry and Davy back at the chateau. Have a lovely week all ❤️x
  • I don't know Carole (although it's a great name lol) but I think she and I would be best of friends based on her humour. I loved the note Philip got and laughed so hard at Bernard the Badger making an appearance. The fabrics are stunning and will fit into the Chateau in just about any room or for any purpose. Yet again I am in awe of the generosity and thoughtfulness of those who send you gifts. I guess your amazingness spreads out into the world and finds its way back to you.
  • My all time favorite fabric designer sent her fabric to the chateau! I bought into a Tilda club just so I could get this line. When I saw it it made me think of Stephanie. I hope that they discover all the plushy animals that Is part of the Tilda line. Something right up Philips alley! How I’d love to help out with the dress making and quilted projects that will come from this gift from Tone Finnanger. What a rabbit hole your are about to discover Stephanie!
  • Wow! The fabric! The book plates and embossing set! What a day!!
  • I would love to see those stickers in your gift shop. And it would be so fun to have tablecloths with one background color and then napkins in a different background color in the same pattern, So many creative possibilities!!!
  • Wonderful gifts. My mother in law is an amazing quilter. Oh what I wouldn’t give to visit La Lande with her and make her make you a quilt! 😉
  • I am always amazed at the creativity and generosity of the gift givers! I love the joy and enthusiasm of the recipients as well! Thank you all for another lovely escape with you all at the Château de LaLande!
  • The fabrics from Norway were absolutely stunning. I cannot wait to see the tablecloths, cushions and maybe a dress designed by Phillip. Your "oh I love it" at the opening of each gift is delightful. Your laughter & joy is uplifting for the soul.
  • i wish Gerald would move there permanently! He does not get enough facetime and he has an AMAZING face and personality!!!
  • What a beautiful way of sticking it to the pandemic. I also found you all the day selmar arrived like a knight in shining amor❤️❤️❤️❤️💋🫶🏼🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️
  • Stunning fabrics...oh wow ...you can upholster chairs ...as well more lamp shade!
