My 2023 Hobonichi Order Unboxing

[@halimanakoa9005]

I look forward to your Hobonichi haul & yearly planner lineup every year. Thank you for posting!

[@AmyGrahamTheBadassValkyrie]

Awww thank you so much! I am slowly coming back around to being able to film again!

[@audreydagenais]

Thanks for this unboxing! I've ordered on the 20th and I can't wait to receive my order! I'll be using a cousin for every day planning and a weeks mega for health and fitness.

[@chereyes26]

Thank you for doing a true unboxing!! I love that you hid the items and show them one by one. Most unboxings I’ve seen lately unbox everything so you end of seeing all of it, then they go through the items again. Love being surprised! :)

[@barbm2375]

Yes!! The videos where everything is visible in the thumbnail, I skip entirely. Great timesaver 😉

[@AmyGrahamTheBadassValkyrie]

I always like to have it be a surprise. I find it so much more fun!!!

[@Rime_Di_Michelangelo]

19:06 Wonderful idea combo-ing the lime green Weeks with the constellation cover!

[@AmyGrahamTheBadassValkyrie]

I truly love how it turned out!!!

[@Judymoe]

I just adore your Serenity cover. Browncoats forever.

[@AmyGrahamTheBadassValkyrie]

Big Damn Heroes!!!

[@knottyneedle]

I have the English Cousin (as usual) and a mega weeks. I got the Japanese woodblock cover from the spring as my cover for 2023. This is my 6th year of having them. I have not purchased the Techo for the second year.

[@Rime_Di_Michelangelo]

9:24 word. Same. My mind just doesn't work with Sunday start weeks.

[@AmyGrahamTheBadassValkyrie]

Yes, I don't think I could ever go back now lol

[@PollyCarpenter]

So nice to have this video Amy. I think you’re going to love the Cousin. One book is powerful. Great that your work life is going well. Sending ❤️

[@AmyGrahamTheBadassValkyrie]

Thank you Polly. I have missed it so much, but I am excited to start back up again, especially now with the new planners. I never thought I would go to the full cousin but since the Avec wasn't available in English, I decided to try it. I think it will be very fun to compare, around the June/July split :P I hope you are doing well my friend!

[@michellealdrich]

I love how your Weeks trio looks together 📚 My order has shipped 💫 TFS Amy!

[@AmyGrahamTheBadassValkyrie]

I actually did too, I am so happy with all the bright colors.

[@All.things.grandish]

Sooo glad to see a video from you! (I was getting a little concerned :)). I love the 365 day weeks, especially the story behind it. I'm getting the Sneaker Weeks again this year for a main planner but now I'm also getting the 365 to use as my health book. I'm looking forward to the bullet journal video.

[@AmyGrahamTheBadassValkyrie]

Thanks Andi! I have been feeling much better and starting to settle into a routine for work, so things are definitely letting up. We were just in triage mode for quite awhile figuring out how things were going to work going forward. I also sort of planned in my head that once I got my Hobonichi order, it would be the welcome back to planning video I wanted to do...and it was :)

[@janicebaer4636]

So happy to see your video!! I love all your happy weeks!! Thanks for posting!

[@AmyGrahamTheBadassValkyrie]

Thanks Janice!!! So happy to be able to make one again! I am super excited for all of them too...I am really looking forward to setting them all up!

[@Stormbrise]

The Aurora Duty is what it is called, and it is being restocked. I believe I saw it on Amazon US. I will be buying it but I live in Denmark. Else I would mail it on to you with shipping costs. I love the green, I call it an early spring tree leaves unfolding green. Maybe I should consider the 365 Days for my reading/audio book planner. I am finding I want to jot down notes on what I am reading or listening to. I am releasing an order for shipping today. I have to do this so I can spread out my payments.

[@AmyGrahamTheBadassValkyrie]

Yes that's it!!! Thank you. I am so happy with what I picked out that given the chance, I don't think I would buy the Aurora Duty, at least for now. I found I went a little overboard last year and ended up not really using either of the Weeks I got for memory keeping or quotes, so I decided I would downsize this year and see if I actually missed that aspect or not. Plus I can add memories into the Green weeks as needed. So it will do double duty. We will see :)

[@marieee505]

I was wondering where you were! Glad you’re enjoying your work again. Love your haul

[@AmyGrahamTheBadassValkyrie]

Yes, sadly something had to give while I was recovering from covid and work was going like gangbusters but I think I'm finally getting the hang of everything so here's hoping!!!

[@Rime_Di_Michelangelo]

These unboxing videos are giving me all sorts of insights and inspirations. Perhaps one Cousin instead of the Avec version might work for me too? I don't really fill all the pages... MMmmm

[@AmyGrahamTheBadassValkyrie]

I think it definitely is the right solution for me this year. We shall see how it goes, but I am looking forward to the experience.

[@CanyonHolgate]

Great unboxing! Where did you get your A5 cover with the Firefly ship on it? I need that in my life!!!

[@AmyGrahamTheBadassValkyrie]

It is from Falcon Travelers. You can order it when there is a Fandom sale. I requested having Serenity on the front cover. She has it set up so it can also go across the entire piece of leather (back and front) so when you order be sure to specify if you want the ship on just the front. You can find her at falcontravelers.com and there is a facebook group, just search Falcon Travelers and you can find it!

[@CanyonHolgate]

@@AmyGrahamTheBadassValkyrie thank you! I found her site & have already been browsing the site. Do you remember what color leather you ordered for your Serenity?

[@caelointheclouds]

Such a great unboxing! I orderd an A5 in English (Sunday start) I did it for aesthetics. Lol. An Techo A6 and a weekly sneaker in blue. I think I made the order around midnight September 1 and I still haven’t gotten anything yet lol! I love those pens and I love the color actually. It kind of reminds me of chocolate chips and blueberries. Have a great night!

[@AmyGrahamTheBadassValkyrie]

That is a PERFECT description of the pen!!! And I never got an email so definitely check your order status. It was a complete surprise today when I checked!

[@rebeccacross2471]

Just received my Cousin, will be ordering my Weeks. I almost missed the time too, Utah sleep~in is real!

[@AmyGrahamTheBadassValkyrie]

YES it is!!! :) I am super excited for everything I have planned so here's hoping it all works out the way I want it to!

[@megancampbell3914]

have you found any wall calendars with a Monday start?

[@AmyGrahamTheBadassValkyrie]

I have found a couple on Amazon, but I have gone for the blank whiteboard calendars for my home office so I can just make it what I want. Its more work, but I'd rather write it all in, than have to deal with screwing up my days because I am no longer used to Sunday Starts lol.

[@raealdridge8200]

I’m using the Weeks for the first time this year. I’m a little nervous because it’s so small, but I also love that part. Did the Soumkine planner work out for you?

[@AmyGrahamTheBadassValkyrie]

It didn't work as well as the original but it did work. But they aren't doing that version any longer, so I decided to use the Weeks as I knew it would work and I have been trialing it over the past month to see how well I liked it. And I think its going to be a great solution since next year I won't have space for a 2nd A5 book since I am using the full cousin instead of the Avec. It was a win/win solution.
