Hobonichi 2025 lineup reveal - what I think and what I want!

It's been about 4 days since the lineup was revealed and I KNOW you've been looking it over multiple times a day like I have. As a Hobonichi Stan, I know it can sometimes help inform your decisions to hear another person's perspective on all of the items now available to us-plus it's just fun to geek out over it with someone else! So here are my thoughts. I hope something is of interest to you in these 39 minutes.....feel free to watch the video on 1.25x or 1.5x speed. Heh.
Timestamps coming soon

LMAOOOO THEY REALLY DID!!! Like, EXACTLY!! Brilliant connection omg. If I watched it as a kid that would’ve been enough to make me go for one of them but I had no interest in Barney then or now🙂‍↔️

I'm so excited to see someone finally posted about the lineup!! It's been the first thing I check every morning 😂

[@papelesdeelib]

It makes me so happy to hear I’m serving the content you’ve been wanting🫡 especially bc I feared this video would be redundant among all the others who will be/have done the same thing hehe

[@EmilyPoet-q1e]

@@papelesdeelib maybe so but I don't follow all those others 😆 I'm excited to see your unboxing once you do order!

[@VeganOrganizer]

Great discussion! Thanks so much for sharing. I feel exactly the same as you about the everlasting envelopes - I have no idea what I would do with them, but I WANT THEM! 😂😂 PS I have the mini banana hammer and I absolutely love it!! Highly recommended. It's so hilariously adorable and it's also an excellent paperweight for stamping etc. I'm also going to put my whole month's fun budget into my HOBO order. As you said, that's what it's for!

[@papelesdeelib]

OMG I’m so honored to have you in my comments!!! I first came across your videos looking for Levenger Circa content and you were maybe my first exposure to Hobonichi!! This is so so cool, thanks for leaving a comment🥹 I just know those envelopes will come in handy somehow, and since they’re “everlasting” we got time to figure it out😌 I’m glad the mini banana hammer has brought you joy, I passed up on it the first time bc I thought it was a little expensive and could end up just collecting dust on my desk. But every time I see it show up as a beautiful desk decoration on someone’s desk in a YT video I yearn for it! Here’s to using a whole month’s fun money budget on Hobonichi and having no regrets about it🤩

[@VeganOrganizer]

@@papelesdeelib Oh wow! It makes me so happy to hear that 🥰 Thanks for letting me know!! I've just discovered your channel and am really enjoying it! Haha good point about the forever envelopes - we have time to figure out a use 🤣

I love your tour of the new Hobonichi 2025 lineup. I’ve seen a lot of videos where they take you through the collection at one of the pop-up exhibits but it’s so helpful hearing your thoughts about whether or not you’d buy it and why. I’m so encouraged to pick up some of the items on my wishlist as well and look forward to following you to see what you end up ordering and how you’ll use them next year! I’m tempted to buy the Hobonichi 5-Year gift set to journal about my son. (I kept an A6 Hobonichi for him between 8-19mo and I loved it.) I’d love to learn more about how it has worked for you and your daughter. Thanks so much for your great video! ❤

[@salweststudio]

Oh no I'm being influenced 🫣 your choices are so cute!!!

[@arian5801]

yay you posted about the lineup! i had this huge list to begin with, but I ended up with a single Weeks book without a cover and a set of sticky notes and one new fountain pen from jetpens to match. i'm proud of myself for being restrained :)

[@papelesdeelib]

Honestly that’s a tremendous feat and I aspire😩 I do love that Weeks can easily hold up without a cover. May I ask what sticky notes you bought? I realized recently I need more cute/functional stickies among my desk supplies!!

[@arian5801]

@@papelesdeelib i think i'm going to go for the Beverly Marumi Sticky Note - Petite! I use sticky notes to put recurring chores on (take out trash, refill meds, etc.) so i don't freak out if i don't get to it one day and I can just restick it on another page for the future!

[@hollyc4624]

Fruit Stripe gum! And the hippie shirt is like those beachy shirts that people wear with long sleeves and that thick fabric and then paired with a rope bracelet! 😊

[@papelesdeelib]

Wow you helped me with TWO points in the video, I appreciate you much😭 I just looked up Fruit Stripe and that was indeed what I was thinking of, but I guess I remembered it a bit differently cuz I thought it was super multi-colored, but looks like the packets had 3 colors at most lol. And you sound very familiar with that beachy vibe😆

[@hollyc4624]

@@papelesdeelib😂 Happy to help. I remember seeing or wearing those shirts as a teenager. Always at the beach or over a sunburn in the evenings. That is the only situation that I associate with that fabric. And maybe going to college in the Southeast US close to beaches…😊

[@Stormbrise]

I am trying to figure out what to get. I am going for two HÖNs this year, because I like the hard cover, an A6 and a5. One weeks, depending on what is available when I wake up, I have a top 3 to choose from. Covers, this is where I can go a little berserk and I am trying to rain myself in. I may go for the plastic wallets for the HÖNS and weeks, they’re not Faux leather. So they will not flake. I am on the line also about the POTRs A5. I think I will just wish list it for my birthday and or Christmas. I am trying to really rain in my FOMO. Maybe I should make a vision board thing on it and see what everything costs before adding all of it to my cart and just hitting buy. This is a Native American and autistic point of view on leather. Just so you know the animal skins, that the animal is dying anyway for the meet, the hooves, etc. As a Native American, I would rather see the skin used, then burned. I give thanks to the animal that once was protected by this skin, when I buy. I would rather have real leather than some plastic fake leather that flakes all over the place, and these microplastics end up in our water and food supplies.

[@amyelr]

I absolutely need the A5 rainbow HON, to the point where I am molding the way I'll use it around that format to make it work. And yes you are so right - Fruit Stripe gum! Haha.

[@melissa_dominic]

Love to see your choices!! I'm torn on the crescent moon A6 hon or the A6 cover by the same artist + A6 Avec! My partner really wants the weeks Mother one (even tho we def have not played mother - the cute little brown scenes are so so cute!).

[@papelesdeelib]

Yaaass that’s Hiroko Kubota!! I would buy everything Hobonichi releases with them if I could, their art is always so dreamy. Can’t go wrong with either choice, though I love that covers can be used for years to come so that may be something to consider¨̮ And I feel you on liking the Mother cover despite not being familiar with the game, that pixel art is just so beautiful! I haven’t played either but I got the Mother Weeks last year bc I couldn’t pass it up and I have 0 regrets😌

I have heard in one of the videos that Yumi Kitagishi's Travel Journal cover background is navy.
