Hi again my dear! You made me laugh so much when you tried the Vegemite. Caleb’s reaction was too funny! 😂 You can also spread some butter 1st before spreading just a very very thin layer of Vegemite to stop it from tasting so salty. Some stir it in their porridge but I personally just have the slightest bit on toast and sometimes with avocado too. So glad you loved the presents. I know u don’t have a single coloured rodeo so of course had to find you an all pink one as it’s one of your fave colors 💕.Other than luxury, I also wanted to give you an Australian 🇦🇺 experience including sharing some of my fave Australian designer & local fashion brands! Of course had to include some of our Aussie treats! Thank you again for your gorgeous presents, I loved them! ❤️ I hope one day soon we can meet in person. How much fun would that be? Shopping and eating vlog!! Happy belated birthday again darling! The best gift of all is our friendship! Xo 😘

No shade, but before I even finished watching both videos, I already knew that Charis would give the better gifts! She’s been so incredibly generous and thoughtful with her viewers and it came as no surprise that she’d share that same generosity and thoughtfulness with Mel.

Charis you did a great job with Mel's gift. That's what a swap at $1000 should look like. ❤️

Happy Birthday to both of you! You both are sweet…and even more important, knowing you’re friend is also a believer makes it that much more better.

Love the gifts you picked for your friend , can tell you are a very thoughtful and generous person !

Charis you really came out on top in this gift swap. Your gifts were so thoughtful and so so generous. WOW. Was quite disappointed with Mel’s gift she got you. She definitely came in way below budget and the gifts looked really cheap. No other way to sugar coat that! If you do it again next year, hope she ups her game and reciprocates. Mel spends a tonne on herself in hauls but seems to stinge back on gifting to others. So embarrassing. Anyway Happy birthday Charis! Love your videos

This is so fun to watch!! Enjoyed watching yours and Mel's unboxing, brings me so much happiness to see your friendship! Friendship goals! x

I preferred your gifts to Mel! You did a great job with gift selection!

It's heartwarming to see how much friendship means to you as your thoughtful and generous gift to Mel is straight from the heart. You're a lovely person and act wholeheartedly as this is what friendship is all about. Thanks for sharing.

Charis, I just watched Mel’s video and I really loved everything you picked for your friend. You have great taste!

Happy belated birthday Charis! This is a great and fun idea to swap bday gift with a wonderful friend. I loved watching both of your channel. You sent Mel the most amazing and thoughtful gifts. You know her well. Thanks for sharing this video!

After watching Mel's video. I get what people are saying when they say Mel could've done better. I feel like alot of what she got for you is what she'd like but not what suits you..esp the dress but its nice that you both gifted items from your country! Though Mel did say Charis seemed to have gone over budget but Mel prob went under budget lol Charis is such a sweetheart and so generous! I can see the embarrassment in Mel's face after opening Charis gifts lol I dont think anyone can top Charis in gift giving.

This is so sweet, and I love that she packed the box with tissue in your favorite colors! Of course there was a Rodeo charm ☺️ omg vegemite…. I tried it once when I was much younger, it’s a taste I’ll never forget! 😆😆

I saw Mel’s video. It was so incredible and thoughtful your beautifully curated notebook to describe each gift and what it meant. Belated Happy Birthday to you Charis🎂🎊🎁

The best gift swap is international ones. No one to swap when both parties can easily get in same location So nice! ❤️

Just finished watching Mel. What a brilliant idea to do this. Omg, love everything she sent to you💕

Charis, so sweet to watch! Your reaction to your thoughtfully wrapped gifts is priceless.keep that little girl inside of you. Love you and Mel. HAPPY birthday Ladies, xoxo

I think Charis you gave.a.more well thought gifts to Mel. I.loved how you guys became friends. Hope you both enjoy each others blogs and from friendships. Happy 🎉 💐🎂🎶

You two are seriously my two favorite KZfaqrs. Such a sweet idea to gift each other. Maybe, for your next video, you guys could try each other’s treats/snacks/ food you send to each other. Korean vs. Aussie!

This was so SWEET. OMG Two of my most FAVORITE Luxury KZfaqrs. Love the gifts and the Idea so much. This was so PERFECT for the two of you right now. I can not wait for the two of you to meet each other in person. HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the both of you...Many Blessing. 😘💕🏵🌾🏵

I watched Mel vlogs because of your vids. Happy bday again💙

Mel is so thoughtful and generous! Very touching to see this special unboxing. HBD to you both girls!

Love this video! Such a great idea and so much fun to watch! Loved all your picks for Mel too! 💕🥳🥰🎈🎁🎊 and Caleb at the end was priceless!! 😂 thanks for the laughs! 😭😆

You two are like sisters already ! Love the dress and the snack box 🤤

Omg ! This is a such a brilliant fun idea!!!! Sooooooo amazing! ❤️❤️❤️🎉happy birthday again!

🥰🥰🥰my two favourite KZfaqr 🥰🥰🥰

I also Love Mel. Those gifts were so thoughtful. Just love the 2 of you are Friends. That was so much fun. I'm glad that put a smile on your face , since you shared you were home sick...We Love You.

How Sweet! A gift for each letter of your name and everything wrapped in beautiful pink. ❤ The Vegemite taste test was hilarious.

You are an amazing person, you gave her some really lovely gifts. Bless you.

Hi charis, miloves Mel brought me here ❣️ nice to meet u!

You got some nice gifts from Mel, she put a lot of thought into matching up the letters with the gifts. And you sent Mel some very awesome items I wish I could get stuff like that for my birthday. Yeah I think you both did a great job.

Omgosh I busted up when I saw Caleb’s reaction to the Vegamite. I did the same when I tried it for the first time. Happy birthday to both you and Mel.

I laughed so hard when you asked “What is this?” for the jar of Vegemite. 🤣 When I first came to Australia I didn’t know what it was either. I didn’t like it at all but when I finally tried a very thin layer on fresh bread with butter, I loved it! 🥰 Mel is so thoughtful. Beautiful video Charis!

My goodness I laughs so hard with the taste test 😊 you ladies are so funny and I’m so excited too” watching opening the gifts , Happy Birthday once again Ms CHARIS and many more Birthdays ahead 💐

With vegemite I’ve always thought of it as kinda of a Australian 된장. I suggest toasted bread and light layer of butter and light layer of vegemite (some people add a slice of cheese)😁 great video and loved the gift exchange hehe

Caleb’s reaction is the best! Hahaha

I love the gifts you sent her. This is such a fun gift exchange

Awww you guys are such wonderful friends it brought tears to my eyes

you two are so cute💕 enjoyed watching your video and witnessed your friendship with Mel❤ so sweet! thanks for sharing 😍

Caleb’s face was so cute! He was trying to be polite but he hated it haha

Happy Birthday Charis💕💕🎂🎁Love to see the gift exchange. So good to see how you’s put so much thought in each other’s gifts❤️🎈

Awe that is so cute the way she packaged everything 💗 and share things from Australia 🇦🇺 such a great idea 😊

Hi Charis. How much fun! You & Mel were destined to be friends because you are both so similar ! Happy Birthday to the sweetest person on line ! Caleb was soo funny to watch- he had the same reaction that you did! Can’t wait for your shopping with Mel video sometime. Hope it will be Soon 🎂🎂🎂🇨🇦

Giving a thoughtful gift that means something to someone is highlighting the importance of your special relationship and that's what you did Charis to your bday surprise gift to Mel. Very well thought and generous especially giving her the limited card holder. Kudos to you. But when I saw Mel's 1st present to you, a vintage pre-loved (although a Camilla dress), a little bit disappointing 😞. Something from Chanel would be lovely for a 1st unboxing bcoz LVloverCC is your name 😀. But then again it's presents 🎁. Happiest of birthday Charis 🎂 🥳

Charice you really outdo yourself for the gifts for MEL 💞

Wow! What a thoughtful gifts from Mel. You’re so blessed.

You two are my favourite KZfaqrs about lux. Love to see you two becomes friends. I feel like I am watching two friends swapping presents now. Both of you have very thoughtful gifts for each other, Love Love Love.

You are both my favourite KZfaqrs love both your styles, personalities and your love and care towards your family! Would love love love a shopping vlog when you meet up that would be absolutely amazing!! 😘❤️

Vegemite can use in cooking, savoury mix with porridge. For toast just a thin spread is great. You can goggle and check the goodness of eating vegemite. Both of you so lovely and thoughtful especially you all have not met in person!

Omg the reactions to the vegemite was hilarious 😂 it is definitely an acquired taste but honestly is so nice when your feeling sick and all you want is that on toast but need some butter underneath. So nice to see a friendship blossom over social media and I hope you two get together soon. Happy birthday again lovely xx🎉💗

I think that first dress will be stunning on you.

Beautiful gifts but even more beautiful friendship! ❤️

I just saw Mel's video. You're too kind Charis 😭😭 That's why God gave you a perfect life ❤❤ I don't hate Mel , but disappointed with her gift . Especially the slap one 😑 Happy birthday lovely Charis ❤

Wowww! Mel is very creative in gifts presentation and all the presents she sents are very NICE💚❤💚❤💚❤

Oh Charis Happy birthday it is so fun to watch this video and I am from Melbourne! Love love love your expression and Caleb's expression when trying the vegemite

I think mentioning about how grand the gift should be is a bit offensive at the end of the day it’s a thoughtful ideal. However to be honest, Mel, Charis hardly wear anything this busy or this material 😂😂. Remember she bought a red asymmetrical warp dress years ago she never wear it after that video 🤪. The “preloved” 1st gift is abit of “I dunno how to react”. Maybe a white jeans with a cardigan will make this top up for a few shots of pictures. She is elegance, that is more of your own dress Mel. I guess a custom make lindiess Pom Pom would make her appreciates more than the Rodeo 😂 also for her liking. with these gift I think Mel you don’t watch her video that often , otherwise the dress won’t be a gift ideal

Love Love Love this video ❤️, it is so fun to do gifts exchanging. So glad to see the lovely friendship between Mel and You. I am a sucker for Tim Tam, it is my long time favourite, used to get it from Australia during working trips since eons. So grateful that it is easily available in Singapore’s Supermarkets. Vegemite should be applied lightly on toast, as for me, best to go with porridge or rice. I was going :”NOoooo”, when I saw how thickly you spread on the toast. 🤣😂. Great and fun video! 👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

That reaction video of the spread is the best part of all:) you guys are so sweet to each other. God bless your friendship.

That's sweet! would like to see u try on that dress! 😉

Charis did a great job unpacking a load of 'cr_p' lol. Saw your gifts to Mel, and they were impeccably tasteful. : ) Caleb is precious, so cute and adorable.

🙋🏼‍♀️Hi Charis, such fun with this video, Mel is great! Vegemite only needs a very thin layer spread out, your reaction was hilarious🤣lovely sweet gifts❤️

Yesss ‘ im a follower of Miss MeL too’ and i love the Both of you💗💗💗💗💗

Your friendship is so adorable! I think Mel used up most of her quota on the Rodeo, so overall it may seem less exciting comparatively. However, all the items are still very thoughtful. The box you prepared for Mel is so amazing, did you cheat a little and go over the budget? Haha. Anyhow, love you both! Can’t wait to see your shopping blog together one day.

The swap was so fun!!! Love to see it. Happy birthday Charis!

It's so funny when seeing you and your loved little son tasting the brown sauce,hahaha ha... Love seeing you and Mel's Channel for years and nice to know your best friends.

I love Vegemite!!!! It’s sooo good to eat with plain porridge or even made into soup with hot water too!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩

So sweet of both of you... Love the gifts Mel sent you... Esp the sweets 😋 And loved your gifts too which you sent to Mel... ❤❤

I loved this how fun! I was thinking TimTam and Violet Crumble in the beginning since it’s from Australia! I love them and reminds my of my childhood days. Now I have to see Mel’s.💕

Awwwww I LOVE watching Melbourn!!!!" Shes my other favorite to watch Alllllll the time....and Also i Love the gifts u gave her too. The lippy lippy......love both of you guys videos...😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀🍁🌻

Very thoughtfull of you Mel. Love both of you..you guys are just the sweetesr

So happy to see a collab video. Subscribed to yall long ago alr😘😘😘

This is so precious 🤍 I love seeing such a wholesome friendship 🥰🥰🥰

That was one of the sweetest way to give presents😍

I like Vegemite in white porridge. Mix a teaspoon and transform a bowl of plain porridge into a tasty one. So yummy to add fried fish meat into it too!

Love veggie mite!!!! Try it with butter and apply thin layer !!! Its made from yeast extract

Such a fun idea. I love everything she sent you

after watching here. i watched mel YT. my G you are so generous charis i knew & expected it you'll be giving more. mel is so lucky to swap gift. although she little stingy over her gift for you hehe. i dont like the dress she gave you. sure youll not wear it.

🤣🤣🤣 The vegemite taste test. It's nice with buttered toast and a hint of vegemite. I sometimes top it with cheese then give it a couple of minutes under the grill. Adore you both, Charis and Mel 🙏🙏🙏

How we eat Vegemite is to spread a layer of butter on the toast first then followed by a thin layer of vegemite. 😊

I really enjoyed your and Mel's unboxing video. You two are my favourite youtuber❤

Fabulous, so thoughtful, Happy Birthday 🎂🎉🎉🥰😘

I love Tim Tams and Violet Crumble. They are my favorites. Lucky you. Happy belated birthday.

I love all your gifts for Mel and you went definitely over budget LOL However friendship is what all matters.

I love love love Mel & Charis😍😍😍

watch both of the videos! both so thoughtful, very warm 😊😊

Your gifts were so thoughtful and you were very generous with Mel. I don't think the same for her gifts though.

Exciting and fun friendship gift giving..Saw Mel's gifts from you they are so gorgeous.❤ Both my fav youtubers🥰🥰by the way I'm from NZ and we know Vegemite so well too I'm smiling while you put so much in your toast ☺

That colourful dress is so gorgeous!!!!

Caleb’s face looks funny and adorable! Happy birthday Caris💐

The fact that you actually took the third peace instead of the first of Tim Tams had my OCD go through the roof! LOL. Loved the pink rodeo!! Perfect for your bag!

Hanna, Vegemit is such an Australian thing. We have something very similar here in New Zealand called Marmite. I normally spread a thin layer on toast and add avocado slide, you can try it. It’s very nice.

I just watch Mel's video this is so cool, cant wait for you to see each other. I love both of you ❤️

Happy that both of us same birthday begin of October. This year due to pandemic lost my job but still having a small celebration with bf. Happy for you received so much wishes and lovely gifts.

Love this idea, it's brilliant! Beautiful gifts. Great video as always.

Hi Charis!!! This is so fun. I can’t wait to watch Mels video 😂😂😂 calebs face when he tasted that toast😂😂😂

Ahhhhhh so fun seeing yours and Mel present exchange video!!
