A 19-year-old Oxford University student has sparked a major online debate after revealing an astonishing Christmas gift haul from her parents, which included the keys to a new house and thousands of pounds worth of designer items.
The Christmas Eve Box That Revealed a New Home
Florie Hannaby-Cummins, who has over 314,000 followers on TikTok, shared a video on Christmas Eve that has since been viewed more than 2.5 million times. In the clip, she opens her traditional Christmas Eve box with her mother to find a card bearing the words "Fabulous New Home".
She was then driven from her family home to a property fully decorated with Christmas lights. "This is my new home," the stunned student said to the camera. "I'm a home owner. I've never been inside. How is this real life? What do you mean this belongs to me? I feel like I'm dreaming." Followers quickly described the property as a "mansion".
A Luxury Haul Worth Thousands
The house was far from the only present. On Christmas Day, Florie posted her annual gift haul, showcasing a vast array of high-end items. The list included:
- An Oura Ring (£349)
- A Tiffany & Co bracelet (£1,900)
- A Louis Vuitton duffel bag (£2,050)
- A Chanel umbrella (£500)
- Miu Miu accessories totalling £790
- A DJI Osmo Pocket 3 camera (£499)
- Multiple items from Skims and Medicube
The total value of the disclosed items alone exceeds £6,000, not including the house itself. In what has become typical for the 'RichTok' trend, Florie prefaced her video with a disclaimer, stating: "I know that this is in no way a normal experience, I am so aware of how fortunate I am, how lucky I am. I do not take any of this lightly."
Mixed Reactions from a Divided Audience
The extravagant display prompted a fierce backlash from many viewers. One critic commented, "Why do people feel the need to show off what they got? The absolute opposite of the spirit of Christmas. Rich or not, entirely vulgar."
Another added, "This is an insane amount of gifts. It is absurd and not the norm... in a world where the rich are only getting richer and the poor poorer, rich kids could do with a little dose of reality."
However, the student also received support from some followers. One defender wrote, "Generational wealth has become the young rich apologising for the spending of their parents. You don't need to explain, just enjoy and show the gratitude you always show." Another said, "If I was in the position to be able to buy my kids a house I 100 percent would so why is she getting so much hate?"
The incident highlights the continuing trend of 'RichTok'—where displays of extreme wealth on social media generate both fascination and criticism—and raises questions about privilege, generosity, and social media etiquette during the festive season.
