The new Hobonichi Stappo (and some other goodies)

Kinda lost my chill with this one. The new Hobonichi Stappo looks super cute and practical. This is the new release for Hobonichi 2023 season :)
(sorry for the typo .. hobonichi* not hobonishi.. my bad)

“I’m new to watercolor”, then shows a masterpiece😂. Is there anything at which you don’t excel? You rock. Thank you for the review. The Stappo is adorable.

[@yuxizhou7046]

hahahahahahaha I like your comment, feeling the same way - "wat you tell me you're new???"

[@pensandpears]

hahaha, i should have kept flipping through the book.. there were some questionable pieces in there that were more.. "abstract" in nature lol but dang, thank you for the encouragement!! you're so sweet!!

[@SharenaRoda]

I think i hear a “watercolour sketchbook tour” video coming? Also you have schmincke paints … you know more than your letting on! Gorgeous first painting! Also since your in montreal there are some “local” (Ontario) stores that sell those photo albums of you end up needing more and dont want to pay for japan shipping.

[@pensandpears]

@@SharenaRoda Yes I'd love to know about all the local places! where are your faves? and you're soo sweet! I need to finish a sketchbook first, they're currently a little "hodge podge" but hoping I have more time to paint soon :) thank you for the encouragement!!

[@CurlyDeee]

I’ve been waiting for someone to review this, it’s so cute! Thanks for posting the review!

[@pensandpears]

Thank you!!

[@fagerdam]

It’s so small! When I first saw the pictures I imagined it to be twice the size 😄 Very cute though, I like the canvas version you have!

[@pensandpears]

Thank you Helena! I agree, I couldn't get a sense of the size from the pictures

[@aubreyholt279]

Thank you for giving a good look at it! I am so excited to get mine in the mail, its such a good size for so many things :)

[@pensandpears]

Thanks Aubrey! I really agree! What are you planning on using yours for?

[@yureliplans]

So cute! I think all add it to my wishlist for next year 🤩

[@pensandpears]

I don't think you'll regret it :)!

[@mollyrobbins1515]

Great review. Mine is on the way. I got it for stationery supplies, but seeing yours with art supplies makes me think I need to order a second one.

[@pensandpears]

hahaha sorry about that! hearing about how people are planning to use their Stappos is making me want another one too.. but I'm clinging to whatever remaining ounces of self-discipline and self-restraint I have to avoid another order lol

[@jessplansandwrites]

I‘ve got the same design and I love mine, too! Love how you use yours! 💙

[@pensandpears]

so nice! what are you using yours for?

[@jessplansandwrites]

@@pensandpears I'm currently using it to store scissors, papers/stickers, correction and glue tape, a glue stick, my metal paperclips and my journal. 😊

[@pensandpears]

@@jessplansandwrites sounds super useful!

[@MaikeOatley]

Oh that’s so much smaller than it appeared on the website-in a good way! It really is super cute!

[@pensandpears]

I really agree, I couldn't get a sense of the size at all from the website and I'm pleasantly surprised by how cute and compact it is

[@tiffanyk8922]

Thank you for your review of the Stappo!

[@pensandpears]

Thank you Tiffany!

[@a.o9656]

I bought the exact same strappo as you! I'm still not sure what I'll use it for. I originally wanted it to sit on my desk and hold my watercolours too. But now I'm worried I'll stain it if it's sitting on my desk. So I've neatly put it back on its plastic bag lolll

[@pensandpears]

lol I hope you get to pull it out and use it! The inside is a nice dark colour so any stains wouldn't show, and to be honest, i looove when watercolour supplies look well used.. it looks like it has some stories to tell :)

[@a.o9656]

I do lov3 watercolours looking well uses but not my storage stuff hahaha. I love my paint palettes full of gross colours mixed together too but not my storage stuff hahahahah

[@a.o9656]

And nope. It's still in the plastic bag protected hahaha. I'm one of those. I hate it but working on changing

[@WestleyWelinskivitch]

This is actually larger than I expected, based on some comments I've seen. I ordered three of them -- this one, the plaid, and liberty. Can't wait for them to arrive!

[@pensandpears]

Yeah I realize its similar in size to the medium delfonics, its just alittle more "open" than the delfonics utility pouch. how are you liking them? Im so curious what you're planning to use your three stappos for :)!?

[@natiplans]

please create a comparison of all three if you are able to.

[@maggiedrouillard4272]

Thanks for the review! So cute! In my cart but thought it was bigger- wanted to keep my planner supplies or OLW in it…

[@pensandpears]

Hi Maggie! What were you planning on keeping in it? it actually packs a punch and can fit a pretty good amount considering its size. I would be happy to try and test it out for you :)

[@laitae]

It's cute:) I'm thinking I could use it as a cosmetics bag for when I travel, thesizeseems good for that.

[@pensandpears]

Honestly, I think it would be perfect to hold make up brushes and palettes and things! Such a great idea :)!

[@CharMeezy21]

I got mine this past week and I absolutely love it and how sturdy it is

[@pensandpears]

I was so surprised but the quality of the material too! I really love it :)

[@LiviaTavNaether]

I cant wait to receive my order. I waited until October just because of this product :)

[@a.o9656]

Same!!!! And then I missed the bunny weeks =(

[@LiviaTavNaether]

@@a.o9656 I am sorry about that! I also missed some nice products because of this long period. No wonder people always place their orders right away! 😣

[@LiviaTavNaether]

@@a.o9656 I don’t know if it helps but they do have this bunny weeks on Amazon Japan 😊

[@a.o9656]

Ooo I'll check it out. I was going to buy more items from hobonichi official site when the bunny returns. Shipping to aud Is SO EXPENSIVE

[@LiviaTavNaether]

@@a.o9656 Yes, it must be really expensive. I have heard that a lot of time! I hope it will be worthy ☺️

[@fridaalmaraz6381]

I got mine in the tiger pattern today and I love it!

[@pensandpears]

I love to bow and tie fabric and the tigers are so cute!

[@dulcie808]

I just received my Stappo today, not sure why I bought it but it was too cute to pass up. I'm sure I'll find a use for it soon. So many pockets!

[@pensandpears]

Hi Dulcie! curious what you ended using your Stappo for?? :)

[@dulcie808]

@@pensandpears nothing yet, it’s still sitting on top of my printer 😳

[@pensandpears]

I think my watercolour supplies look nice and cozy in the Stappo, but I'm curious what you would use the Hobonichi Stappo for?

[@Okisikoskwew]

Love the box!!!

[@pamelabatchelor9204]

I really appreciate your review Im seriously wanting one of these. The Liberty Fabrics one is on sale so its calling me Will the A5 Cousin fit in the back with its cover on??

[@pensandpears]

Thanks Pamela! I tried it now, and it looks like the back pocket would be too tight for the A5 cousin (with or without a cover) unless you wanted to store it vertically (although it's still a little tight).

[@actuallyphoenix]

It's amazing how much space there is in such a small thing! Then again, I shouldn't be surprised: I just got a drawer pouch Ané, and it fits just so many things inside, it's ridiculous.

[@pensandpears]

I know I was so surprised at how much I can fit and carry in this thing and it still feels compact :) What are you using your drawer pouch ané for?

[@actuallyphoenix]

@@pensandpears I use it to carry my Weeks (which fits perfectly), a fountain pen and ruler for planning on the go, my passport, some cards, bus tickets, chapstick, teeny tiny hand lotion, emery board, earbuds, emergency painkillers. It keeps all my stuff together, it's so much better than having it all over my backpack.

[@pensandpears]

@@actuallyphoenix oh wow, that sounds like you have everything you need organized in there

[@actuallyphoenix]

@@pensandpears If I didn't need snacks and a water bottle, it would be my whole bag! And it's not much larger than a Weeks.

[@pensandpears]

@@actuallyphoenix honestly, that's pretty impressive

[@Okisikoskwew]

Now I need a Stappo, and all the cute things you have inside it! The watercolour sets, where did you get them ?!

[@Stormbrise]

Thanks for the thorough review of this pouch. Love, love the pouch and your video. However I noticed the exposed Velcro on the front pockets. I guess I could put some decorative patches on this. I find the tiny hairs and such that get into the Velcro so annoying. I do not judge you for all your watercolor tins! I wish I had that in my life but right now I am so busy with finishing my thesis. I think these pouches would be great for my nieces who are artists!

[@pensandpears]

Thank you so much :)! Great point! I think the length of some of my paint brushes was making it hard for me to align the velcro on the left side, I think without them, it should align up just fine. But I definitely know what you mean.. they can really be a magnet for fluff and stuff. Best of luck on your thesis! I've definitely but my watercolour aside for the past year cause of my school work as well. Really hoping that having my art supplies easily accessible with help nudge me into painting more

[@scribblesandinkstains]

This was fun!

[@pensandpears]

Thank you so much!

[@littlestarplans]

Ooooo!! This is so cute. Just wonderful, what paint brushes brand do you purchased from? :)

[@pensandpears]

Hi!! I've used a range of brushes from daVinci and Escoda to dollar store ones when I'm in a pinch. to be honest my fave ones are a pack of travel brushes I got on amazon, the free mini travel brush you get with the Winsor&Newton Cotman palette, and a mop brush I got from Jackson's art. Are you into watercolour too?? what kind of brushes do you have?

[@Yohualli]

Thank you for your video. I’ve been tempted to buy the Stappo, but the only thing that’s stopping me is the fact that I just bought a zipper cover for my Hobo Cousin and a large drawer pouch. Do you think the Stappo could fit my planner with the zipper cover? The cover is just too pretty to sacrifice it for a bag 😅

[@pensandpears]

Hi! I think it might be able to fit in the large main pocket but it'll be a little snug. It felt a little tight with the hobonichi cousin without a cover on it. Maybe you can use the stappo to organize and store your additional stationary supplies? but I guess the large drawer pouch works perfectly for that too :)!

[@Amy75652]

Thanks for the review! I was just looking at the Stappo on the Hobonichi store site and I came straight over to KZbin to see if anyone had made a video on it. I see a purchase in my near future! It’s adorable, and looks very useful. How have you found it after using it for just a little while? Are you still happy with your purchase? Thanks! ❤

[@pensandpears]

Hi Amy! I don't regret the purchase at all, its been so nice to have my art supplies have a portable home and can be on display, and it's small enough that it doesn't take up much room on your desk. What are you hoping to use yours for if you decide to get it?

[@Amy75652]

@@pensandpears Hi there! Well, I’ve ordered one, in canvas like yours. I will either use it for journaling supplies, or art supplies, or a bit of both, I think. I’m really looking forward to it! I procrastinated a bit about which one to get as I really like the Liberty one, but that appears to be covered in cotton lawn, which is a thin, delicate fabric. Obviously it’ll still be sturdy but I wonder if the Liberty fabric it’s covered in might wear more easily. Maybe one day I’ll get that as well but I can’t afford it right now and I want to see how much I use it.

Hi Talisha! The main site to buy hobonichi products is here: www.1101.com/store/techo/en/lineup/ for smaller order though, it might be good to go with a reseller like jetpens.com so you can avoid heavy shipping and custom charges. I hope that's helpful. What were you hoping to get? :)
