My 2025 Hobonichi Haul and Thoughts

[@vesper7750]

5:20 I laughed so hard when you ended that beautiful quote with "that quote is quite anxiety inducing". 😂❤ I plan to use this notebook as a mini gratitude journal because the little "today" on each page reminds me to be grateful of the present moment. I'm not a big gratitude journaller (sorry I'm inventing words here) but I do find that if I'm having a tough time it can help to write down a few sentences to remind myself of all the things I love in life.

I got an A5 Cousin, a Denali pencil board, and a snow globe weeks. Thanks for you kind words about lack of money.

So enjoyed your unboxing video! You truly made me “laugh out loud” several times. 😂 Great haul and thanks for showing us different notebooks in the A6 covers. Very helpful!! BUT, you made me start another HOBO Wish List! 🩵

I’m new to the hobonichi community and your video is my favorite so far ❤ 😊

[@Yes.ButAlsoNo]

That’s so sweet of you, thank you so much 💕

[@nehela1]

I enjoyed your unboxing so much! Well done, and you are so funny. Haha The quotes are really anxiety inducing. 😂

Lovely haul. Wishing you lots of fun with your baby old and covers for 2025. I also bought the Yumi Kitagishi Travel cover and the Keiko Shibata cat A6 notebook to use together. Thank you for putting the Avec and notebook in one cover, I was wondering lambing to do the same. Tip for the free pen in the butterfly closure (if you want to) I slide the pen UP from the bottom, pop the clip out and then back down, it feels backwards but is easier than sliding the pen down from the top with the too wide rubber grip. Best wishes Varsha.

thank you for the tip! I'll try that next time

[@Fclwilson]

Thanks for sharing. I had to open my Cousin too.

[@tortagialla]

Love how you are setting up the covers already… nice haul!!! 😍

[@leialohah]

Aloha…that was definitely a box full of happiness…mahalo for sharing your joy with us…

[@missfl0werstar]

This is such a ... sweet video! There's no better way to describe it. Me too, I've watched countless hauls this year but yours really made me smile. Loved the way you shared your thoughts. Thank you very much for this.

[@Yes.ButAlsoNo]

Thank you for your kind words 💕 I'm happy to hear you enjoyed it!

[@raevelry]

I clicked on this video because I got curious with your name - and the intro got me immediately hooked! Haha. Watching all the way to the end!!!

[@klpl1737]

I’ve watched so many hauls now and yours is by far my favorite. I love your chaotic nature 😂😂

[@Yes.ButAlsoNo]

lol thank you so much!

[@bernieskuuipo308]

I smell everything too! Survival instinct is strong 😂 love your haul! Thank you for describing textures as that’s a big part of my experience with the stationary and accessories 😊 enjoy the next years journey. Look forward to Your next video share ❤

[@mattresswick5627]

lol. i had no idea the two loops went together like that!

[@dawnyWestScotland]

Cute cat cover, I’m loving Hobonichi! ✂️☀️

[@jjaks]

I love your channel name

[@dbgoldbach9947]

You used all your luck on getting that notebook 😂😂 that’s something I would say!! Great items you selected!

[@lisaanne2525]

Nice haul! It all looks good together.

[@pennycandyys]

I’ve been thinking of getting the floating cats as well! I’ve watched several videos now and no one ordered it, so thank you for sharing your great haul Also the mountains, I definitely am having an internal struggle because I’d like to get it in A6. I’d also really like to get the Bear with the dandelions cover in the Cousin size, even though I don’t use a Cousin. Ahh, help! 😅

[@Yes.ButAlsoNo]

The struggle to choose between so many good options is so real! If you find another use for the A5, even if it’s not as a planner, then maybe you could still get that cover...

[@Min-RuGan]

I felt the same way when I got my Hobonichi order….a few moments of euphoria 😍

[@donnad5986]

I loved ur video, u are so sweet.! The bread/cat cover is adorable. I was going to order it, now seeing it, im sorry I didn’t. I just ordered from Hobonichi yesterday, I didn’t feel the need to hurry this year and order on “Sept 1, Hobonichi Day” they usually get back in stock the sell outs, so I took my time. Loved all the choices you made.! Have a Blessed Day.!!

[@Yes.ButAlsoNo]

Thank you for your kind words! ❤️ I agree, taking your time is the way to go, there's no rush to order on the first day. But I get why so many people enjoy the excitement and thrill of being part of the first day (even though it can be frustrating when the website crashes👀)

[@roseelise]

The cat cover is so cute! Such a great haul 💖 Just subscribed :)

[@dawnyWestScotland]

I got my blue box today yay! 😺💙☀️

[@Yes.ButAlsoNo]

Yay!! Have fun enjoying your goodies ✨

[@Satindollina]

You're so funny, i love how your smelled all your notebooks, i would do the same 😂

[@Yes.ButAlsoNo]

👃📖📖✨

[@kristib1731]

Really enjoyed your video!

[@yasminyaps]

Watching your video made me think that maybe I should have gotten the cats on toast cover instead of gingham. Watching all these unboxing videos makes me feel fomo even though I got everything I wanted T_T. But I love your video and choices, and you're so funny :)

[@Yes.ButAlsoNo]

I'm really happy with the Bread floating in the wind cover, it brings me so much joy! (maybe it's the color, or maybe the adorable cats riding a piece of bread). The giingham cover is really lovely too, you shouldn't feel bad! I imagine the inside is a similar shade of blue to the cats' cover. And honestly I'm starting to think I might've preferred getting the gingham over the travel journal cover...the red is starting to be too much for my eyes.

[@yasminyaps]

@Yes.ButAlsoNo thank you for your answer! You can always get th3 gingham later if you still want to :) and maybe you can use the red one for special occasions, that way the red doesn't irritate you every day. It is a very special cover ❤️

5:34 😂😂😂😂😂 agree!
