Hobonichi 2024 Haul Unboxing

[@shoooe77]

You don’t have to explain to anyone how you spend your money,you worked for it so enjoy all that you have. Thank you for sharing 🥰

[@LittleCocoStudio]

Thank you for your kind words, and for watching! 🥰 I’m so excited to break into them! 📖📚

[@christineloy]

Love this haul! You don't need to reason out why you are treating yourself. These beautiful items brings you joy and that's all it counts!

[@LittleCocoStudio]

Thank you so much for your kind words! Hobonichi did a wonderful job collaborating with artists on these covers and they do bring me joy! 🥰

[@earthologyhut]

I felt so connected to your video, it felt like looking into my box when I first saw the tweed cover - still waiting on mine but I got A5. It is our money and so long as we are not putting ourselves into financial difficulties it is up to each of us to follow what brings us joy and moves us forward to a better day. I have subscribed to you as we are very similar in personality and it’s wonderful to meet a like-minded person. Looking forward to supporting you. I will be spraying my tweed with fabric protection spray - you can buy it is shoe shops. I don’t trust myself without a cover on cover which won’t fit on tweed. Best wishes for 2024, Varsha

[@LittleCocoStudio]

Hi Varsha, thank you so much for your kind words and for subscribing. I’m so excited for your A5 Twinkle Tweed! I hope you love it! ✨I keep staring at mine, feeling excitement to start using it. I may not wait until 2024. :) I picked up some cover spray, so I’m going to try using that tomorrow instead of using the cover. I’m grateful that you’re here 🥰💗

[@tortagialla]

Love how thoughtful you are with your haul and how sometimes we love the designs and the accessories and usable items make more sense than a cover! Thanks for sharing!

[@LittleCocoStudio]

Thank you so much for watching and commenting! I agree that some designs make more sense as covers! I had an instant positive reaction to the little gifts illustrations, so I am excited that I still get to enjoy them even if it’s not through the cover! 🎁

[@ChanelthePomston]

❤ Twinkle Tweed. I haven't seen anyone unbox it, yours is the first. Ive been waiting to see it before i get mine (making a 2nd order). Yes, they are expensive & like you i wanted to make sure id make great use out of it. Its stunning. Thank you for sharing 🎉

[@LittleCocoStudio]

It’s so pretty and soft! I thought maybe they twinkle thread might make it a bit rough, but it’s lovely. If you do decide to get it, I hope you love it! 🥰✨

[@whodunnie]

First haul that I see with the same cover as mine (twinkle tweed). It is so pretty, I can't wait to receive mine, it's arriving on Monday ❤

[@LittleCocoStudio]

Yay!!! I hope you love it when you receive it on Monday! 😍✨

[@pensandpears]

What a beautiful selection! I hope it brings your heart joy :) thanks for sharing!!

[@LittleCocoStudio]

Thank you so much! They do, and I’m so excited to start using everything! 🥰✨🐼

[@randomhodgepodge8902]

Oooh ahhhh, the Twinkle Tweed, so lovely!:)

[@LittleCocoStudio]

It’s so pretty!! ✨I’m excited to use it - I may not be able to wait until next year 🤣

[@SprinkleGoodThings]

I really resonated with your reflection on intentionally using every product you purchase. This is a struggle for me this year and I keep going back and forth on what other products I plan to get and whether or not it is something I will use.

[@LittleCocoStudio]

Thank you so much for watching and commenting :) It was a huge struggle for me, too. They did such a great job with their release those year 🥹😭 I found mapping out a purpose for each book on something like miro helped me to narrow things down. 😅

[@amycampbell2264]

Love this video! Soooo fun!

[@Fclwilson]

Thanks for the product info. I like decorating my planners too. As a serious-minded person, I need to do something lighthearted each day. Doing a little decoration each day is great self care.

[@LittleCocoStudio]

Thank you so much for watching and commenting! I am a recovering perfectionist who also tends to be too serious. I agree that doing a little deco (or writing with a cute pen + ink!) is a wonderful form of self-care 🥰

[@rebeccakemmery2916]

Both covers are lovely. The tweed in particular is stunning.

[@LittleCocoStudio]

Thank you! I think so, too. I tried to force myself to choose - do I went something I can take to client meetings or do I want something that fills me with joy even though most of the marketing photos showcased children using it. I was only going to get the tweed, but my inner child really didn’t want to give up the pandas 🤣

[@nattycozy1]

You just gave me the idea that I could buy those little folders and slip the larger one into the CoC over a black cover :D

[@LittleCocoStudio]

That is an amazing idea! 😍🎁

[@Easypeasypumpkin]

Loved this haul, just an idea for 2025, would it be worth using a spring start weeks for a gardening planner? not sure where youre located but for here in the UK it aligns perfectly for sew/grow/harvast planning with the seasons :)

[@LittleCocoStudio]

🤯 that is a brilliant suggestion! If anything changes for my 2024 plans, I might consider adding it to my line up. Thank you! 💗

[@TheJournalingType]

What a great haul! The panda design is so pretty, they are a very cute and interesting animals, so adorable! haha I like seeing how people use their planners/journals, thank you for sharing!

[@LittleCocoStudio]

Thank you so much for watching! I agree - pandas are so cute 🥹 I watched a few videos of them playing with tires, so this series of covers really spoke to me. 🛞🐼

[@emisbagdog8603]

Thank you for sharing your haul 🥰 It's so hard to pick just ONE from Hobonichi...❣ I already have 1 cousin size cover but I ended up purchasing 2 new covers this year 😹 AND I still want another ones which I do not necessarily need 💦 but makes me happy..😍

[@LittleCocoStudio]

It was SO HARD! I went back and forth for days and mapped it all out on a miro board 😅😂 What did you end up picking? And which ones are you also wanting? 😍

[@emisbagdog8603]

@@LittleCocoStudio Currently, I am using a cousin size Choucho from Mina, and I purchased the Tokyo metronome and the purple cover from Colors for 2024, both in cousin size 😍 I'm also wanting the ones from Simple Covers in both black and blue 😜 and also Liberty Fabrics in both Weeks and HON 💦 OMG, I can't decide...💞😂They all make me happy🌼

[@LittleCocoStudio]

@@emisbagdog8603 All wonderful choices! And the covers all look so good together, too. 🥹 I was tempted by the Liberty Fabrics one, and the purple cover is so pretty. Also love the metronome! 🙃🫠

[@amycampbell2264]

Omg I take notes all the time too! I can’t just read a book. Nope I take notes!

[@LittleCocoStudio]

Haha me too! I’m always, always taking notes and dedicating specific notebooks for certain topics. I guess it’s a habit I never quite broke out it from my elementary school days! And now that I’m older, I appreciate how much more enjoyable it is with smooth paper and a few fountain pens 🥹🥰

You dont have to apologize for how you spend your own money. Enjoy your haul!

[@LittleCocoStudio]

Thank you so much for being here and commenting. I’m definitely enjoying it! 😍🤩

[@lelp_]

I wish they did the weekly supplement in an A5 size so I could buy it with the day-free (the name is day-free, why are the weeklies out too 😩)

[@LittleCocoStudio]

Whoa…. 🤯 That is a great point - I wish they did this, too!

[@shelbseroo]

Hello fellow Canadian hobonichi lover 🇨🇦🍁. Try Scotchguard on your tweed cover to help protect it :)

[@LittleCocoStudio]

Hello!! 👋🍁 Thanks for the reminder - I need to look into scotch guard! Do you think it would also work on the other fabric covers?

[@mrcat3493]

Nice haul. that many planners would be stressful to manage for me. I use a Weeks and a Cousin. The cousin is calendar and journaling, the Weeks is dedicated to tracking one specific thing.

[@LittleCocoStudio]

Thanks for stopping by and watching! I used to see other folks talking about using so many planners and felt overwhelmed, too! I can understand how managing this many books might be stressful for others. For me, I realized that I want the separation between work/school/life/top is of special interest… but I haven’t always felt that way - and I may want to simplify again in future years! 😅

[@fannyku614]

You have such inspirational stationeries and hope your stories are just as fantastic! I like to record my projects big and more but I was too practical. I wrote on A11 sheets and file each topics in colourful folders stored in alphabetical order in a filing box. I couldn’t get out of my white collar worker mode. I enjoy watching your unboxing show❤

[@LittleCocoStudio]

Thank you so much for watching 🥰 I used to use file folders at work as well - it’s a good system! I like how you can compartmentalize topics and focus on one at a time! 🗂️

[@michellealdrich]

I got the A6 panda cover also 😊 The weekly supplement is a GEM and I enjoyed using for 2-years 📚 TFS

[@LittleCocoStudio]

Yay!!! I’m happy to see another panda cover lover! 🐼 Are you using the weekly supplement for scheduling? If so, I’d love to hear what is working / not working for you! I’m very hopeful it will work in future years - I can’t wait to try it next year! 😍

[@pinkpatx]

I love that Starry Night Weeks!! Really tempted to buy one, except that I already have more than enough planners. 😅

[@LittleCocoStudio]

It is so pretty. I’ve packed it away until next year, and I’m already getting so excited about opening it up and using it! Having more than enough planners is a “problem” I know and understand well. 😅 What is your current line up for 2024? ☺️

[@pinkpatx]

@@LittleCocoStudio I've used the Hobonichi Techo A6 for the past two years. For next year, I'm going to use a Midori MD notebook diary in A6 and cover it with my Hobonichi cover that I bought from two years ago that I still like (it's the Time Traveling Bird one). I've also ordered a Midori MD+ Stand Diary, because it has Gantt chart pages that I think are great for longer-term projects. 🙂

[@LittleCocoStudio]

@@pinkpatx that sounds like a great set up! Great point about using Gantt chart pages for longer-term projects. I may see if I can try creating something like that in my notes pages. 🤔

[@pennycandyys]

Thanks for sharing your haul with us! I really wanted the tweed, I am curious to how it feels in your fingers, like is it rough or anything like that?

[@LittleCocoStudio]

I found it was really pleasant to hold! I would describe it as smooth and firm, without being overly soft. I liked that it was a pretty tight weave, so I wouldn’t feel as worried about it snagging on something since I will likely be taking it out with me. I’ve seen some people talk about spraying their fabric covers with scotch guard, so I may try that as well. I’m trying to think of what might be comparable in texture … I’ll respond again if I can think of something!

[@pennycandyys]

@@LittleCocoStudio That's awesome, thank you! Regardless, I do think it's a beautiful cover!

[@tewlott]

🖤🎁✨What a nice haul! Love all the covers you picked and books, and that you picked what brought you joy! I think that’s the key to continuing the practice of planning and journaling, is enjoying it : ) I appreciate the thought you put into it and sharing! ✨I’m debating just using a clear middle cover for my cousin since the only cover that being me joy is one of the more expensive ones lol Deco stuff is honestly such an investment i have a huge hoard of supplies that i can continue to use so i try to look at it that way if i add anything like that : )

[@LittleCocoStudio]

Thank you so much for watching and commenting! I like the idea of going minimal with the cover as well. Maybe one will speak to you in the spring launch! I agree that it is key to enjoying the practice. I found myself dreading the set up when I was using a bullet journal, despite slowly trying to simplify my approach over time. I also felt like time was passing by too quickly, so I love that the one day a page approach gives me an opportunity to appreciate each day. Totally agree about reusing deco stuff! I have so much to work through, AND I save all of those little pieces of paper that come with orders. 😅

[@AngieSpeaksNow]

Hey, we don't judge in PLanner Community :) We are all enablers

[@LittleCocoStudio]

Thank you for saying this! 😌 What are you thinking about using in 2024? 🤗

[@AngieSpeaksNow]

@@LittleCocoStudio I have Cousin Avec, Original Avec, and Cherry Red Mega Weeks. I also have covers: Liberty Fabrics Hollyhocks, Sunrise Blue both in A6, and Mother: Boing for A5. I bought covers for them too. This October 1, I'm struggling with either A6 Hon One Piece or just the Original One Piece. OnePiece Accessories maybe and then some Drawer Pouches. Oh, I also have Sterling Ink Common Planner, Full Year in A5.

[@amycampbell2264]

Haha we are!

[@maddutchess5312]

All communities should stop apologizing for making their purchases or what appears to be excessive. You made your money, you get to choose how you spend it. If other people want it and can't afford it, they shouldn't make you feel bad for working hard and getting what you want. If they want to get it, they can stop just watching the videos and go earn money to get it. Empathy for others is one thing, but you shouldn't have to apologize for the trolls who are making you feel bad, by telling you that you made them feel bad. Consumerism keeps the economy strong. Sharing your purchases and how you are utilizing them helps others decide what they want to do. If they have excess, they can chose to recycle, repurpose, resell, or donate. You made a beautiful selection. Keep making the decisions that work for you. Others can make their choices based on what works for them. If they want more - they should go get it or work to get it. I'm not saying just buy it all or who cares about the waste, but the consumerism guilt is becoming excessive in pretty much all the industries and channels I'm watching. You're not a terrible person if you buy things that you can get by without. All that said, your haul is beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

[@LittleCocoStudio]

Thank you for your kind words and encouragement! I’m still feeling so excited about the things I chose, and I hope that means I’ll be able to be as consistent in using them as I was this year. And, as you mentioned, if something changes, I can always pass it along. :)

[@amycampbell2264]

What are u in school for?

I am completing a master’s degree in counseling psychology. I’m aiming to finish my coursework this December, and begin my practicum placement in January!

[@donnad5986]

I enjoyed your video, except you don’t need to keep trying to justify what you spent.! Everyone who is watching these videos, we understand and we All wait for a year for the new books/covers etc. to come out, and most of us do overspend. Some people are great. They budget all year long because they know they’re going to spend extra money. Some people splurge because we all work hard for what we have and we actually do use these books to help us in our lives. So please don’t feel the need to justify anything. We are all worth it.!! I do love all your choices. Enjoy.!! 💖💖

[@LittleCocoStudio]

Thank you so much for watching, and for your kind words! You are right about this amazing community. Everyone is so supportive and genuinely excited by their books, planners, covers, and accessories! 😍 I would love to hear about your choices as well for next year! I hope you love them! 🥰
