Lady C took to Instagram to plead for her help and showed CCTV footage of the moment the robber strolled up to the front door of her Castle Goring home to steal the Christmas presents.
The socialite lives a peaceful existence at her huge property near Worthing, West Sussex but that serenity was shattered after the theft.
“We’ve had somebody come to the castle and brazenly steal Misha’s Christmas present, or one of his Christmas presents, to Dima,” Lady C began in the video.
Misha and Dima are Lady C’s sons, whom she adopted from Russia in 1993.

In the CCTV footage, a man wearing a hoodie and carrying a torch can be seen brazenly walking up to her front door and snatching the packages.
“We have CCTV footage of the thief and I am going to post it. And I am also offering a reward to anybody who turns him in,” Lady C continued in the video.
“I will personally pay them £500 if they provide me with his name, his address or contact details so I can get in touch with him because I am not even wasting my time with the police because they’re a dead loss.”
Lady C then threatened “I will “undertake a private prosecution if the police, when I turn the thief over to them, decide they’re not going to act.”
She added: “We have extensive CCTV footage of him inspecting this stuff and stealing this stuff. I’m just going to be posting a teensy weensy bit.”
Lady C’s followers flocked to the comments section to share their shock at the theft and to send her well wishes.
“I’m so sorry that has happened to you! We came to your wonderful castle in the summer and I had the privilege of meeting you. I am angry that people can stoop to such appalling things as stealing. I hope they are punished when found!” wrote one person.
Another added: “He clearly has no idea who he’s dealing with! Lady C will wipe the floor with him.”
And a third commented: “This is horrible!I hope you can find him soon!The most important thing is that you and your family are safe.”
TOUGH TIME
It’s been a rough few months for Lady C who was rushed to hospital in October following a nasty fall at the Soho Hotel where she shattered her hip and pelvis.

Lady C, 76, who was in I’m A Celebrity in 2015, was in the building’s basement to attend a film screening when she fell.
She faces a six-month wait before she can hope to walk again and plans to sue the owners of posh Soho Hotel in London.
Talking of her trip, she exclusively told us: “I had acclimatised myself to the room — I am a cautious person — but the room is designed to look like it is all on the same level.
“Where I fell was a radically different level. It was like falling into an abyss.
“It wasn’t like tripping down a step, which is five to seven inches, it was more like a 12 to 18 inch drop
“They (the hotel) have put style before safety.
“There was no lighting, no member of staff with a torch to indicate there was a plunge.
“I’m in bad shape now. The pain is excruciating.”
