Thank you for sharing. This is great idea.

Thank you for sharing this is tremendously helpful as I'm struggling because of loving more than one cover. Needed to find a way to use them or one more effectively😊

I was disappointed that my fine Twsbi Eco writing looks thicker in the 2025 weeks compared to 2024. It showed me the difference. Luckily as my weeks is my EDC I use the Hobonichi pens. I use fountain pen in my A6 original. Not tested that you but think I will off the back of this. Thanks for doing this. 💛

I cood not find the channel you talk abut whit the pocket book

I got mini samples of the new paper with some of my books last year so I think Hobonichi prepared us the best they could - baring an actual issue with the 5 years. I actually thought the ghosting got more obvious in the 2024 cousin (compared to 2023), so maybe I am just used to it by now and tbh I like ghosting. I hope people with issues get them resolved

Thats... really unfortunate ): Ill need to check mine now too!

A new manufacturer of course means there would be changes. It’s probably hard to explain all the specifics but I think paper manufacturing is very complicated! But I totally get people being shocked by differences but at the same time they have announced the paper change for years 😅 of course there will be combinations of ink pen nib etc that might cause trouble as always - similar to rubber stamping and inks - it can changes over time within the book when you stamp with different inks. All very interesting and stationery nerdy - but I hope the information just helps folks make the right decision for themselves!

Hobonichi should just do a planner with Kokuyo Mio Paper

Why are you called Lethbridge Paper? I live in Lethbridge so just wondering lol.

I cant do the whole pre-order stuff, i just use a blank nanami paper notebook anyways, but even if i did use a printed planner, i couldnt deal with the whole pre-order and wait for months thing, oliblock used to do that too and, even though i love their clips, i cant handle waiting for pre-order stuff, im too impatient, i want it now and if i cant have it now im just not buying it, lol, so i guess i save myself the disappointment of ending up not using stuff by refusing to participate in pre-orders 😂

Where did you get the month view stickers from like the airplane etc?

Greit video and a simple method is the easiest to stick to. Shop around when it comes to reviewing insurance policies as it’s a great way to save money. Start a pension early - as soon as you start working because if you don’t have that sum of money available to you in your salary, you won’t miss it. If you have children or are planning for them, my previous boss put away €50 per month per child from the time the children were born and he was able to pay for them to study at uni. I suppose the secret with saving is to put away a little and often is that it becomes a habit. Tracking your spending is a great way to see where the money is going. With a debit card it’s so easy to tap away and not realise where the money is going. There is a lot to be said about withdrawing a certain amount of cash per month or week as that way it’s easier to control where it’s going.

Love this. Simple but effective.

Taking this video as a sign I need to start budgeting again after planner season 😂

Love that drawer pouch!!! You're right, the orange inside is actually really great with it!!!!! I do prefer the ane` layout of the pouches but yeah, thats worth getting!!! ❤

Oh my gooosh my absolute #1 Dream!!! ❤❤❤

Nice haul. I'm not a traveller's journal person at all, but I still like seeing how you will set up your EDC. Just out of curiosity, how do you plan on using the cross body? It looks nice and the color is gorgeous, but it seams like a pickpocket's dream, for not having any zippers. The second bag is lovely as well and looks really sterdy.

I just bought my first Travelers Company brand traveler's notebook! Got it in passport size.

Thanks for taking the time to record this video - lots of really useful suggestions!

Really useful. Thank you.

My mom bought one kislux and she loves it. It had been there for over 10 years when she went out with it.

I love the idea of these but i had one from 2022 and they have significantly faded in my journal which is a shame. The sprocket was a win for me and worth that added investment.

Hi, i use the Poooli and Paperang which i assume is similar to yours. I also use the sprocket for photos. I have used them for about 2.5 years and as yet when i flip thru my planners they have not yet faded completely, but am aware this may happen. Interested to see your next video ×

great review I was just thinking of purchasing one of these thanks!

I would like to see the clear sticker paper.

No, sorry, the thermal printing will fade in a year or 2. It will be a blank white little piece of paper

*raises hand* Yeah, I got sucked in by Paddington this year - got the A5 cover, the stickers, the letter-writing set, the sticky notes, and the pencil board. Plus my friend let me have the Jetstream that she got with her Cousin order, so I have a perfectly matched pen as well.

No store layout of viewing of Hoboniche Store?

I’m coming away from the weeks/hobo for this year. I am going to be using a Papertess Design weekly notebook. I saw one back in March and liked how it looked. If I can’t get along with it I will switch back to the weeks in spring. I am still using the 5 year journal but I am quite far behind. So I am thinking of getting a new one.

I haven’t seen that drawer pouch either. Must be an old design!

The drawer pouch is the cutest, what an amazing find!

Omg i didnt think you would film and post the same day!! 🎉

You were the reason I bought a Weeks Mega this year as my first Hobonichi, I even bought your typewriter tabs. Thank you because after hopping around just to try out other styles, the Weeks Mega is definitely my planner peace. Soo jealous you got to go to Japan for your haul!

Hi! I would love to know which Hobonichi groups on facebook you think are good. I’m currently in two, one is uk based(like me), the other is all USA from what I can tell, so not that relevant to me. Any suggestions? Thx

Virginie Circle

OMG, this reminds me of my "quotebook" in high school, in which i recorded for YEARS all the silly things and puns and stuff my teachers and class mates said. Some were extremely funny and I enjoyed reading them later on too. I wonder now where that book's gotten to... But I might pick up the habit again, especially as my youngest starts talking.🤭 Great idea, thanks!

This ist very helpful! Thank you! 😍

My Daughter had a sketch book she didn't want anyone to see. I thought she might be drawing stuff she thought was taboo. I did get to flip through it and the pictures were basically fine. No naughty, no drawings of horrific things. I think we had a discussion and she asked :"well if you had a journal would you want me to read it?". It was like seeing things a new way. Her drawings were just as intimate as writings. I could not interpret what made it that way but they were. It would be like if I wrote a journal in another language like Klingon where most people would not know what it says even if they could speak Klingon. I never looked at her journals but sometimes she would show me things. I learned something interesting and it was a new perception for me.

The little Midori calendar looks perfect. Is it the 48 page one cause it looks smaller then that. The link doesn't work for me.

more please

This is such a good idea. I love quotes and have collected them for years but just scribbled in the back of diaries and note books. This is very creative ❤

As a teacher this would be the perfect planner. Definitely going to purchase. Great video!

I don’t journal at all, but I could do this, and I have a lot of washi and stickers going to waste that I could use up.

I love this! I've been looking for something to do when I've no journal entries to write, but want to play and be creative. I've also got a lovely standard TN with lovely inserts I don't use. Thank you. I'd love a video of you doing a page from blank please.

Love this idea! 😍💖 Going to test it myself

This is such a good idea. The pages you have so far look very lovely

Yep, bought a Hibino for 2024 and totally wasted it

That little Midori calendar insert fits so nice in your passport TN 😍 I love that TN size so it's really helpful to see all your picks for your trip. Thanks so much for sharing - and have an amazinggg holiday!
