I think the concept of the playing cards is fine for a VIP gift, but the presentation they went for just in a cardboard box left a lot to be desired. A beautiful leather or canvas hard box so they could be used as a decor would have been amazing. I definitely see how not receiving a more personal gift like previous years would be disappointing.
Totally get where you are coming from. I think if LV skipped the playing cards it would have seemed better. Your family did awesome and thoughtful, I think the mandala coloring book is a brilliant idea so you can also spend time having fun with your daughter. My Dad sends a check and my Mom just asks me what she can help pay for of what I’ve been wanting, then she buys skin care items and such so we are similar in family gifts. 😊
As a mama‘s girl myself, I love the idea of you colouring with your daughter ❤ she will appreciate all the time you got to spend together once she is out of the house
Thank you for sharing your amazing collection throughout the year and for your appreciation and knowledge. It's truly a labour of love! I can imagine you being the curator of your own museum in years to come, showcasing design and fashion changes throughout the decades via luxury handbags. I must tell you that I was "forced" to binge watch a couple of series of Real Housewives with my sister over Christmas and was surprised how many handbags I recognised because of you! My sister was asking how I recognised them, and needless to say she's halfway through binge watching your videos and making a list for her birthday 😊. And you have way better bags than the real housewives of Beverley Hills and Salt Lake City! So cheers Meredith, the hardest working gal on YT. Looking forward to the 2025 collections! X
Meredith you spend a lot of money and time with LVMH, you deserve the Christmas parties and the best free gifts. They should be flying you out to Paris. ❤
You would never be ungrateful at all lovely Meridith. I've said it before, and I will say it again, you are beautiful inside and out. You are very thoughtful and giving. Also, very humble and always honest with your perspective on things. These are things I admire about you. The LV decorations are amazing. Just gorgeous. Wishing you Meredith, Mr. Lux and your 2 beautiful little Lux's a very Happy New Year and hoping all your dreams come true in 2025. Have an amazing Disney cruise. Much love. Jenni. XX 💞🥂🛳🎉🎊
Don’t take it personal Meredith. I can tell you from an inside perspective the luxury brands are unfortunately majorly cutting back on VIP gifts (at least in 2024). It has nothing to do with your spending. Yet, the carousel ornaments are stunning! But I do absolutely get your point with the inconsistency which is right.
Happy new year, Meredith💗 Totally relate to the struggle of never finding stuff with my name on it🙋🏼♀️ The LV luggage tag stamps are so pretty! But I agree with the other comments, the gifts fell a little flat. And how weird of V. putting your full name on the bag? Who would wear that?🤨
The gifts are blah. You spent a LOT at Vuitton! I made those metal things with kits that Barnes and Noble sells. I made a carousel and another nonmemortable item. I am disappointed for you.
Meredith how sweet is the Mommy and Me color by numbers 😍🎨! I love the David Yurman NYC skyline Christmas ornament 🎄👌! Love the special LV luggage tags super classy 🤩👌!! I might be the minority here but the playing cards are great & I would use them instead of displaying them so I can understand why they would not be your style 😉! Happy New Year 2025 🥂
I agree the gifts were low level with of the LV ornaments and Fendi. The cards and the bag is a big …..WHY. But that just goes to show these brands don’t care about anything other than the bottom line. These are not real relationships they are built on spending. People forget money is not that impressive other things come along with it.
Hi Meredith fr a marketing view point the LV gifts does seem a tad inconsistent. I worked @ a Cr Union & the marketing dept. came out with a slogan “it’s not about the money” non sensical imho (what the Cr Union we’re going to sell knock kneed penguins, do penguins have knees)⁉️ I believe the economy has a lot to do with the lack of thought put into 2024’s Christmas gifts by the large luxe houses. Everything comes down to money/spend ratio, no matter the industry. Wishing everyone a happy, healthy & fabulous 2025. Enjoy yr colouring book time with Miss Luxe. 😘💐
I agree with the playing cards from LV being underwhelming when compared to what they have given before. There was not much thought into them. The ornaments however are stunning and much more special and unique than those in the advent calendar.
Your makeup is so pretty. I have noticed a difference in your look lately. I know you had the sleeve but are you using Ozempic now? I would love to see an updated video on your weight loss journey.
I did an update not long ago. Maybe 6 weeks ago. I had underlying health issues that have now been resolve and that allowed the sleeve to go back to doing its job.
I think LVMH (with the recent business dynamics), they have a much lower promotional budget for VIP gifts in 2024. If the Murakami relaunches do well in 2025, the gifts at the end of 2025 will be MUCH better :)
I know what you mean about the change in the gifts. My friend is part of the Mecca Insiders where they complete feedback and surveys every week for Mecca which ends up taking hours of her time after doing it for a year, they were gifted cheap Mecca Max products compared to more prestige brands and items n previous years, I think it's quite poor considering they inundate Influencers thousands of dollars of products every month.
Maybe their gifts are linked to their profitability as a company for the year as opposed to individual spending, their net profit fell by 14% in the first half of the year, they’ll be fine incase anybody is worried about Mr Arnault 😂 😂
Don't feel bad about the presents from LV. They should be better with the money you spend. They could have at least given you the 6. The bag from that shoe company, I have no words. Bin it . I can't believe they put your full name on it. Disgusting . Happy New Year
Playing cards were def a weird gift. Totally understand your viewpoint. You do not sound greedy at all. You had very valid points. Their ornaments were gorgeous.
What if you dont celebrate Christmas? Are you in such a small minority that the companies just dont make adjustments? I realize that these are hypothetical questions....
Is that necessary? Who says that to a person? Some people are so rude! I'm sure if you had content on your channel you would have alot of turned off people...
With the homelessness and hunger all over the world, don't you feel even a little entitled with the luxury items. Don't you care about your fellow humans and pets. I don't see that in you at all. Shame on you.
Because you know me so well and are well versed in what I do, who I am and what I give? You also clearly think it’s the responsibility of people who work hard and do well for themselves to automatically give it away to someone less fortunate. Who decides the thresholds for who is a have and who is a have not? You? I’m certain that’s why I pay an astronomical amount of taxes. PS, my dogs and the animals on my property wanted me to let you know they’re just fine!
Ok this is a handbag and fashion TH-cam channel. So thats what we talk about here. Not homelessness and strays. How do you know she doesn't donate thousands to the homeless people and pets? You don't. You know what happens when you assume things!! Don't be that person...
So when we talk about the quality of the brand and how it's not as good as it used to be, is that being ungrateful? Bc if so, I've went all over social media being "ungrateful"....nice try...next time "please don't sound so bossy"

Those ornaments are beautiful!
Thank you for sharing your gifts Meredith. Happy New Year to you and your family. 🎉🎉 ❤
Thank you for sharing I love your honesty and openness 💖💖
The ornaments are beautiful ✨✨✨
Wow, the three Vuitton Christmas decorations are gorgeous indeed !

Chanel gave a snow globe this Christmas. Lv needs to give out snow globes. You spent a lot of money.😂
As a mama‘s girl myself, I love the idea of you colouring with your daughter ❤ she will appreciate all the time you got to spend together once she is out of the house
I have a lot of VIP gifts from Chanel but never got a vip gift from LV and trust me i been shopping with them for over 30 years
Love The Ornaments From The Luxury Houses !! That's A Wonderful Idea For Each Year ❤️
The Christmas Ornament’s are beautiful. I’m a huge fanatic when it comes to my Christmas tree 🌲 each year has a theme.. 😊😊😊

Those metal LV ornaments are AMAZING!
Meredith you spend a lot of money and time with LVMH, you deserve the Christmas parties and the best free gifts. They should be flying you out to Paris. ❤
Everything is really nice thank you for showing them 🙂 😊
Lovely gifts 🎁, congrats on getting them 😊💕
They gave you a bag with your last name on it?🤦♀️ Who would carry that?😂 The ornaments from both houses are beautiful.
Wierd that they put any last name and odd brown colour too! Lovely LV metal ornaments!
If it’s a common last name, someone may pick it up!
Give the brown bag to your daughter?
Same on a few things - nothing with my name on - Vivaia being pushy - colouring in! The carousel decorations are GORGEOUS! ✨️
Playing cards are actually a thing and a collectors item
The LV tree decorations are stunning, enjoy 💜
I love your earrings! A jewelry or ear curation video would be awesome ❤
You would never be ungrateful at all lovely Meridith. I've said it before, and I will say it again, you are beautiful inside and out. You are very thoughtful and giving.

This Irish tourist lived at coogee!
Happy new year, Meredith💗 Totally relate to the struggle of never finding stuff with my name on it🙋🏼♀️ The LV luggage tag stamps are so pretty! But I agree with the other comments, the gifts fell a little flat. And how weird of V. putting your full name on the bag? Who would wear that?🤨
Love the Fendi earrings!
David and I don’t do gifts either. And I totally agree about the consistency thing.
so wonderful. so happy for you
Love your candor it's refreshing 😅
I could never find my name growing up either so l like monogramed / personalised stuff too 🎉
Fair call on the playing cards...tacky ....but the decorations...wowzers!!!
The gifts are blah. You spent a LOT at Vuitton! I made those metal things with kits that Barnes and Noble sells. I made a carousel and another nonmemortable item. I am disappointed for you.
Stunning 🤩 LV Carrousel 🎠 ornaments Dear Meredith! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🎄🎄🎄
Thanks for sharing! Happy New year 🎆
Well first...who would give you a bag w your first AND LAST name on it? Those ornaments from LV are beautiful!!! I love the carousel anyway!!!
Hi I got the bigger set of 6 , I feel the same as you !
Ooh the Christmas decorations are gorgeous x strange to not have individual gift though x
Happy and healthy new year
Meredith how sweet is the Mommy and Me color by numbers 😍🎨! I love the David Yurman NYC skyline Christmas ornament 🎄👌! Love the special LV luggage tags super classy 🤩👌!! I might be the minority here but the playing cards are great & I would use them instead of displaying them so I can understand why they would not be your style 😉! Happy New Year 2025 🥂
Can you share what the “thresholds” are to be invited to these events and to be considered VIP?
I agree the gifts were low level with of the LV ornaments and Fendi. The cards and the bag is a big …..WHY. But that just goes to show these brands don’t care about anything other than the bottom line. These are not real relationships they are built on spending. People forget money is not that impressive other things come along with it.
Thank you for sharing honestly
Can’t wait to see your luxury Christmas tree for 2025. You’ll have so much to put on that tree 😍

Beautiful ornaments, I love them. Playing cards, not so sure, but OK. Lol. I see your confusion. ❤
I wouldn’t want playing cards from Louis Vuitton.😊
I agree with the playing cards from LV being underwhelming when compared to what they have given before. There was not much thought into them. The ornaments however are stunning and much more special and unique than those in the advent calendar.

@@livingluxwithmeredith Oh Great! I will go check it out. ❤️ Happy New Year 🎊
there are tons of Meredith's in the US. Popular name here.
lol I’d be annoyed too with the Vuitton gifts 😂
LV probably didn’t give better VIP gifts given their overall sales were down in 2024 maybe 🤔
I think LVMH (with the recent business dynamics), they have a much lower promotional budget for VIP gifts in 2024. If the Murakami relaunches do well in 2025, the gifts at the end of 2025 will be MUCH better :)
You dont sound ungrateful...omg do they have any idea how much u spend? But anyway hope you had a lovely holiday and advance happynew year👋🏼

Love the LV decorations- where is the snail??!!!
I was thinking the same thing. The snail 😅
Don't feel bad about the presents from LV. They should be better with the money you spend. They could have at least given you the 6. The bag from that shoe company, I have no words. Bin it . I can't believe they put your full name on it. Disgusting . Happy New Year
Playing cards were def a weird gift. Totally understand your viewpoint. You do not sound greedy at all. You had very valid points. Their ornaments were gorgeous.
it's simple ,LV doesn't want to spend so much money on you anymore!
LV is following suit like the others. Raise the prices and cheapen the quality…
What if you dont celebrate Christmas? Are you in such a small minority that the companies just dont make adjustments? I realize that these are hypothetical questions....
This is a first influencer video where I’m immediately turned off by the person.
Not an influencer and this isn’t an airport, no need to make announcements.
Is that necessary? Who says that to a person? Some people are so rude! I'm sure if you had content on your channel you would have alot of turned off people...
With the homelessness and hunger all over the world, don't you feel even a little entitled with the luxury items. Don't you care about your fellow humans and pets. I don't see that in you at all. Shame on you.

Please don’t sound ungrateful
I’m not ungrateful, I am pointing out the inconsistency in the gift giving and the falling quality. This does not make me ungrateful.
Meredith is never ungrateful. She is just pointing out the obvious!!!
So when we talk about the quality of the brand and how it's not as good as it used to be, is that being ungrateful? Bc if so, I've went all over social media being "ungrateful"....nice try...next time "please don't sound so bossy"
