Thank you for the great content and the decision to not overwhelm us with sponsored products. Your curation of products is very helpful as it seems RU-vid is become more about creating content around commercial products rather than producing quality content as the primary focus. As an aside, congrats on successfully transformation of your living room as you envisioned. I went back to your September post 'A Tour Of My New Home' and the before and 'now' is impressive as your carried-forward many items but added details throughout. Well done.
I started eating on my wedding china daily after watching you and now my family loves eating on nice plates. I picked up the Villeroy and Boch Christmas plate set you recommended! Here in the US Macys has them on sale for 60% off for Black Friday!! I picked up a set to eat on during the month of December. Thank you for the recommendation. Even my husband was all for it! We are converted! 🍽💕
I grew up using the plainest of plain Villeroy & Boch tableware and have never actually looked at their website or other products. I have now and I'm in love. Thanks for the gift ideas!
The one gift I'd LOVE to give is a collection of Nicolas Fairford decoupage boxes.... you really need to consider creating some of these for your merch line. Unique, hand-made and a real treasure.
A thoughtful gift instead of one that's rushed means so much. I listen throughout the year for little hints that one might give so that I may get that later. Thank you again Nicolas.
I love this curated list. I especially like Architectural Watercolors. Bunny Mellon is an icon. A book of Slim Aarons photos would also be a great gift. 🎁
I agree, Villeroy & Boch is one of the best brands for timeless yet still unique dinnerware. I love the "Amazonia" collection. Absolutely great advices! Thank You, Nicolas.
Villeroy and Boch is my mom’s favorite. I have solid white basket weave generic dishes. I love to change out colorful accessories, napkins and chargers. I never get tired of them.
I got my V&B dinnerware many years ago. I use it every day and it's perfect for me: It looks beautiful but it also goes in the dishwasher with no problems of discoloration, breakage, crazing etc. Great gift choice Nicholas!
I adore the lifestyle we have created for ourselves and now that I have found you and enjoy watching you grow in your style and culinary skills ..so shall I "and, for that I thank you.. so excited for the holiday's and to watch you and join in the decorations in our home's..stay well Nicolas! And" thank you!
I absolutely LOVE Villeroy n Boch toy’s delight collection. I’ve been looking at it all season along with their Naïf Christmas collection. I’m getting them for Christmas presents 🎁
Hello Nicolas Wonderful gift giving ideas and I am a fan of beautiful fine bone China and using vintage dishes for dinner parties and I am also a fan of Villeroy and Boch as well I enjoyed this video
I know it’s off topic but as a painter myself I would hang that lovely painting behind the club chair and a smaller work of art over the mantle. At this time the painting is competing with the fireplace. Thank you for the nice video, love the letter cards.
In prior videos you shared how much you admired Bunny Mellon. As a fan of Bunny, I was glad to learn about the new book. Your living room looked especially nice today. Look forward to seeing next week’s video!
Nicholas - I went to Fiona Finds’ shop yesterday and met Fiona! I told her how your channel had brought me there, she is a lovely woman and her shop is delightful! I bought the duck jug as a present for my partner’s mum, and a beautiful ski boot Christmas tree decoration! Thanks for the recommendation!
Thank you for the beautiful gift ideas. Though my family and friends don't buy Christmas gifts for each other anymore I enjoyed seeing them. We buy or make gifts for rach others pets. They are our kids now.
Thank you Nick some lovely ideas and places to buy, Friday evening as I watched this just saw the red weather warning in your area I hope you are staying safe. Take good care
Per your advice I just purchased the paper lantern. Of course it was the Jefferson’s Folly! I’ve actually stood inside the structure at Monticello in Virginia, USA. I can hardly wait to receive it and to pass it along to the special friend who visited Jefferson’s home and gardens with me. Thank you so very much for the recommendation. Another gift selected and a few more to go!
The paper lanterns by Architectural Watercolors caught my eye as I have a degree in Design from the College of Architecture at Clemson University. They are charming and I appreciate you introducing them to me! Such wonderful gift ideas! Thank you Nicolas!
I love some of the ideas here, Nicholas but I think I will look up your gifted chocolate truffles in the handmade decoupage box from last year. It was truly special and has stayed in my mind ever since. My father is tricky to buy for because at 94 he says he has everything he needs. I know he would appreciate receiving a handmade gift and he is partial to dark chocolate Brazil nuts so I could maybe do a combination. Thank you for your lovely videos. I'm watching you whilst on my exercise bike!
Thank you for beautiful inspired list. This is the first time that I’ve literally wanted every item on it for myself!!! Well, I can think of many friends/family who would love any of these items as well. Thank you! You’ve also inspired me to set a pretty table every day. In Spring, I bought a secondhand set of Spode’s Jewel Heath and Rose, designed in 1926 the year of my parents births. The set is all white, With a scalloped edge and the design looks like lace, with a hand painted design in the centre of a rose and Heather. It’s lovely! You’ve inspired me to make my home #1 and to live with beauty around me. After a few years of sickness, and an untidy home, you’ve been a life changing influence for me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
I wish I was one of your friends. 🥰 What beautiful gifts you give. I adore Bunny Mellon and have her garden book. There is a lovely hour with Paul Mellon talking on utube. It is just him , not an interview. Bunny was such a shy , gentle person I have never seen an interview with her.
I love the suggestions Nicholas, very classy. I love your taste. I wish you were to me in NY and help me decorate my apartment .Greetings n hugs from the city that never sleep.❤️😘🙏🤗
What a great list! I must confess that I have a few pieces from Easter and Christmas Villeroy and Boch collections and I just can't keep them in the cabinets, they're so beautiful that I use them the whole year ☺
I've been racking my brain trying to decide on gifts again this year that weren't the usual and your list is just the thing I've been looking for! Thanks for your wonderful suggestions!
Hi Nicolas , loved your suggestions for Christmas presents . I adore Villeroy and Boch Christmas crockery and that beautiful Villeroy and Boch jar sitting on your table is just gorgeous. Looking forward to you dressing your Christmas tree 🎄 , Christmas brings out the inner child in many of us .
