Shops mentioned: VDS (Van Der Spek): vdsshop.com/shop/c/codex-planners/pt:standard/codex-standard-mega/231/ kolourcafe: www.etsy.com/listing/1303301172/ Sweet Freckled Designs: sweetfreckleddesigns.com/collections/planners ...
😂 6:16 Your comment about dating your husband for 7 years before you got married made me laugh. I haven't had any problems with my Hobonichi Techos. I shared a livestream where I tested them and compared them to the previous year's Techos.
Ooh, I'll have to watch later. I think some people have said it might be dependent on the type/brand of fountain pen ink. I'm glad your Techos are doing well! ☺️
Fabulous run down! Love your energy & morbid humor 🎉 The paper on the Cousin 2025 is worse than the Jibun standard paper -_-
Hehe, thank you so much! 🥰 2025 is clearly not the year for Hobonichi TRP 😭
lol the video that popped up was perfect 😆
I'm so glad you noticed, haha!! ✨iconic✨
I don't use Hobonichi products, but all I can say is there are tons of smaller planner creators out there that have beautiful TRP planners and seem to be unaffected by these quality issues. If I were you, I'd support these other companies, because they absolutely stand by their products and do their best to make things right. With all the issues this year, sounds like Hobonichi has gotten too big too fast.
Yes, I'm actually getting the CreffectivePaper A6 Daily Planner for that reason, and it also has TRP 😊 I did hear through the grapevines that the smaller shops that offer TRP planners are also affected by "bad batches" of TRP. If that's true, I hope it doesn't impact their business too greatly. In any case, I can always whip out my gel pens, haha 😆
@@ngocngocnotes Yeah, I have been using Aura Estelle, and am still waiting on my 2025 planner. Fingers crossed that it's okay!
Little Björn Stationary has posted a couple videos of her 2025 Papertess Designs books having bleedthrough issues. I haven’t done any research on the exact specs of TRP that they use in comparison to Hobonichi though.
@ngocngocnotes I got a Sterling Ink for this year, which is also TRP. However, I have also seen that these smaller shops are having similar quality issues. I haven't tested my paper myself, but I am hoping that my planner is not affected. I will be using it regardless. I just won't be using certain supplies if the paper is from a bad batch.
I just watched her video today. Super informative! So unfortunate that her PaperTess Designs planners are affected 🥲 I hope they're able to resolve this debacle next year
I tested my 2025 Hobonichi A5 Graph Notebook, and it works fine. With Fountain pen (though, i use EF) it was okay, then Tombow Fude - tried doing 3 strokes overlapping and seemed to hold up fine too. Tried to use a wet brush pen with 3 strokes too and seem to be good... maybe I got lucky with mine. I think for the other techos, they might be checking the waters still, since i think not all are bad... since i think its not just isolated case for Hobinichi... i saw someone tested out other planners that use TMR S for 2025 and they did perform badly too.
Yes, I've heard through the grapevines that the TRP from smaller shops are affected as well! Which is unfortunate and I hope it doesn't impact their business too much. I also exclusively use EF nibs and that tend to work well across the board, haha. Glad to hear that your Graph Notebook is holding up well! 🙌
My 5 year paper is not even *close* to the three weeks, 2 A6 day frees, A5 cousin, and multiple graph notebooks, etc. I have. I tested all of them like a crazy person because I was curious. the 5-year techo paper is a *completely* different texture. It feels like writing on newspaper. It’s soooo weird.
Those are all 2025 items, by the way. I only use fountain pens and they did fine in all the Hobonichi techos except the 5 year. 🤷🏻♀️
Oh, wow!! I didn’t realize they would have a different “blend” of TRP for the 5-year! Newspaper is an apt description to convey the ick you must’ve felt writing on that paper 🤢 This is so crazy! I wonder if it also has to do with inks. Like, maybe certain inks are better. In any case, TRP is just gaslighting us all for shits & giggles lol 🫠
Its a good thing I started my five year in 2024 and not 2025 like i originally wanted so I dont have to deal w that
@@ngocngocnotes the dont have a different blend. Thr coating applied to the TRP batch that they used for the 5 year diaries got botched. Hobonichi is only at fault for not quality testing the paper before even getting them into books, but ultimately its Sanzen that sent out the bad shipment in the first place as QC starts with them.
Ooooh, thanks for letting me know! I wonder how they're going to resolve this satisfactorily for the 5-year users since a replacement with the same issue isn't really a solution... I hope this whole debacle gets figured out by 2026 😮💨
oh nooo! cause of your video I tested my week 2025 and it bleed like crazy! (With a Fountain pen I use very often in the Hobos) Thats SO SAD!
PS: even my mildliner bleed through. I am kind of shocked
Oh, no!! That’s terrible - I’m so sorry 😭 Do the papers feel different to the touch? Do your pens feel different when writing in them? I think I’m gonna stick to my gel pens most of the time now when writing in my Hobonichi 🥲
@@ngocngocnotes thank you! it feels slick but while writing the paper sucks the ink in imidiately. I wrote Hobonichi an email. 💜
@@PinkLeoley I hope they provide a satisfactory resolution for you! This is such a...mess all around 🥲
@@ngocngocnotes thank you!
Came here for your one liners and you did not disappoint 😂😂😂
Hehe, thank you, Emma 🫶 Disappointments are reserved for my Asian-immigrant parents only 🙂↕️
I meaaaan... If we don't change our planner plan at least once before the new year begin, can we really call ourselves planner girls? 🤔😂 Or maybe I'm just trying to excuse my own change of plans 😂 Back onto the Hobonichi "drama", I was considering buying a five year techo, but their statement plus the quality of recent TRP definitely made me change my mind. Instead I'll be using the Midori 5 years Diary, at least the MD paper never disappoint 😊
Ahahaha, so true! You're not "baptised" as a true planner girl until you flip-flop on your own planner plans 😆 I would loooove to see Midori flood the market with their MD paper, my gosh 🤩
@@ngocngocnotes Maybe it's MD Paper time to shine? 🥰 I also decided to replace my Hon for the MD Diary 1day 1page and I'm happy to say it fits in the Café au Lait Hobonichi cover. It's a tight fit tho, I'll have to watch my planner weight and won't be able to feed it too much ephemera. Gotta take care of our "babies" diet haha! 😂
Oh no, not a planner diet! 🤣 So glad to hear that chonky baby fits in the Cafe Au Lait cover! It’s definitely the it-girl of cover for 2025 haha
I tested my 2024 and 2025 weeks. My fountain pen strokes are thicker in the 2025 weeks. I did not notice any worrying bleeding through. A Pentel Brush sign pen did bleed through a little. It's still nowhere near as awful as Moleskine paper though! Sticking with Hobonichi here.
Oh gosh, I hear the Moleskin debacle is a whole other beast! I'm glad to hear that your Weeks is working for you! Fingers crossed we hear more good news for 2026 🤞
The 2024 weeks had old stock TRP and not TRP sanzen. So it’s not strange at all that there are some differences.
I saw this announcement and I thought it meant they knew something is up with the 5-years, I mean, I assume they know the batches of papers being created to make their techos. Each techo has an individual serial number too, so I'm assuming they are tracking something?! I think either way - if you are having paper issues you should contact hobonichi directly. They usually have good customer service, although I suspect now they are being inundated with requests. I think ghosting is completely normal for these techos given the thin paper and there always have been some issues with super juicy inks, but it shouldn't be feathering or bleeding though. BTW, someone told me that the hobonichi paper is 47gsm but the same thickness as the 52gsm tomoe river paper - so it means there is more air pockets in the paper and that is why it can react differently ... I dunno, I'm not a paper expert but it does make sense! Personally, I tested my a6 techo and weeks and both are fine in terms of what I expect for sanzen paper. My midori hibino also uses tomoe river sanzen paper and works as expected - so I guess I lucked out!
Someone brought up the serial number but the form doesn't ask for it 🤔 It certainly would make it easier for them to track things. I've never known the Hobonichi TRP was 47gsm until days ago! I just thought it felt different because it's Hobononichi, ahaha. And you're right, the air pockets thing would definitely make sense! I already knew I was meh about TRP Sanzen and would put up with it without much issue. And if anything, I can always use my gel pens, haha. I hope they get this resolved by next year!
@@ngocngocnotes It’s obviously and unfortunate situation because the paper had to change but it’s not an easy thing to do - each year I think it will change as they work on their formula!
Or until someone “breaks” a machine to be the same as Machine #7! Apparently that was the magic machine that made old TRP haha
@@ngocngocnotes lol they are working on it probably 😅
🤣🤣🤣
Same here with the creffective paper planner 😵💫 tho probably not going to join the mass order, unfortunately 😭
It kinda came out of the left field, tbh! Almost like the owner of CreffectivePaper made a last minute decision or something lol. I think it might’ve gotten more interest if it was announced earlier. But there’s always next year ✨
I think the 5 yr was a smart choice since it’s a long term notebook..people will have to keep it forever the entire 5 yrs and less ppl buy it so more fiscally possible to replace…I am curious to see if the replacements will be actually better
This makes a lot of sense! I wonder if they would allow people to just get a full refund. Bc I would imagine this may turn off some people and not get a replacement in worrying that it’ll just be the same “bad batch.” I’m also imagining some poor Hobonichi intern manually fielding emails about the regular Techos lol 🥴
@@ngocngocnotesI think it was written in the text that they are addressing the 5-year techo due to the fact that it is for long term use! So, that's the main the reason, as I see it...
@@iliana.m Oh, you're right! I totally glossed over that. That's a good point, given that those with the 5-year diaries will have to keep it for the next 5 years (ideally), whereas those with the Techos will more likely get a new one and hopefully they would've addressed this issue by then!
Please watch in HD/4K and in 2x speed for ~squirrely~ Ngoc 🐿
Squirrely Ngoc is the best Ngoc ngl 😉 My 5yr just got shipped today so I'll have to do some testing when it arrives. Hopefully it won't be too bad or I'll have to return it I think
Awww thank you so much, Mae 🥰 Wishing you good vibes & good paper for your 5-year haha 🍀🤞
So those kitta stickers at 10:25 ARE full stickers, theyre only stuck on that one side for packaging related reasons. Once you peel them off the little book you can then spend like two whole minuets trying to peel off the backing and its a complete sticker, the whole thing is sticky. The sticker is even preetty strong for washi tape.
Oh, gosh, yes! Thank you for letting me know - I feel a bit silly not realizing that, haha. I've properly redeemed myself in my second unboxing video, hehe.
I too don’t like the ballpoint ink that comes in the freebie pen. I replace the refills with the Pilot Hi-Tech-C .4 gel refills I get from JetPens. The refill is LHSRF-8C4. Comes in Black, red, blue or blue-black.
Oh, my gosh! I didn't know that the Pilot Hi-Tech-C refills fit in the freebie pen!! You're literally blowing my mind... This changes everything... 🤯
Im just curious about the planner in your intro
It’s the PaperTess Designs Weekly Planner ✨
just watched all 3 of your haul videos and wanted to say that you have great taste and your sense of humour is amazing!! thanks for sharing! 💛
Awww you are so kinda - thank you so much for watching! 🥰✨
I love the idea of leaving memories for future you ❤
That’s a much more elegant and succinct way of saying what I was trying to convey 🥹 Thank you for watching 🫶✨
How did you know I was picking my nose!!! 😮😂❤
Maybe because I was, too ahahahahaha 😆😆😆
I love love LOVE your videos! They are the highlight of my day/week/month! Can't wait for more! Thank you! 😀👏
Aww thank you so much for leaving such a sweet comment! 🥹🫶✨ This definitely helped motivate me to make more videos from now (hopefully) 😆
What’s the book you have inside these?
It’s linked in the description 😊
@@ngocngocnotes thanks!!
Shell Cordovan is made from horse butt. It’s WAY different and more expensive than patent leather. Gorgeous covers
Learned something new!
Does this scratch easily?
@@kerritotty1844 I did not find it to scratch easily from light daily usage. However, I did not use it for very long 😊
You are soo hilarious 😍 I work in Mental Health and have had a long stressful day, with my own health challenges, I did not feel like laughing or smiling, but this video has just made my whole year. I’m not a stand-up-comedy follower, but if you decide to start a channel with your own material - you can count on me to follow! - definitely something else you could as a side-huddle - successfully 🎉 I really appreciate you sharing the “butt cover” I call it the denim cover but(t) I prefer your name for it. I just missed out on the last denim cover - I looove denim - 👖👖 always have, so I really want to get this cover too, I can’t decide if I want A6 or A5 as I used both size books for different things - I don’t want to get the same cover in two sizes. I had the same dilemma with The Tone of Illuminated Flowers cover and went with A6. Your Search and collect cover is lovely too - I too am not a bee 🐝 person - really appreciate them and all they do for us …. I’m scared of everything - yep! I’m THAT person - jumping at my own shadows!! 🙄 anyway I know someone suggested putting the who pen in the loop… I would so totally put several fountain pens in one loop. I have the A5 Laurent Garigue Twinkle Tweed (I think only the A6 is available this year), I leave it open with several fountain pens clipped into the loops as well as a couple of Sailor and Tombow brush pens hanging on for dear life!! Your Fountain pen collection (thank you for sharing some of them) is mouthwatering 🤤 (slurp, slurp - excuse my drooling). Love your interior decorating skills on the Cafe au Lait & the Butt covers too - I will definitely bling mine with patches and gem stone stickers when I get mine 🤤☕️🎊🫶🏽 Some fantastic buys thanks so much for sharing. This is the end of my long love letter to you. Looking forward to your next video. Varsha, London.
Thank you so much for watching & for your lovely comment, Varsha 🥹🫶✨ I’m really glad my video was able to cheer up your day! Whichever size you decide, the denim cover would be such a cool addition to your collection 🙌
3:06 I heard your surprise in Vietnamese from a mile away 😂 also Ngọc is such a beautiful name ❤
Ahahaha you must’ve had your Vietnamese ears on 😆😆😆 And thank you so much 🫶 - my dad named me after my mom, so I love my name all the more 🥰
I went with the recommended 2x speed and its was hilarious- I have no idea what you said most of the time but you sound like a minion so that’s all I needed to hear 🤣
Always been my dream to be a Minion 🥹
Your fountain pen looks absolutely perfect with the hon and that brown interior
They were made for each other 🥹☕️🤎
Oh such cute items you have. I’m new to Hobonichi and so excited to get my 2025 order yesterday 😸💙☀️✂️
Thank you so much for watching! And welcome to the Hobonichi bandwagon 🙌🎉
@@ngocngocnotes 😺thank you!
Thumbnail made me laugh 😂 ur a little unhinged and I love it
Ahahahahahah, I feel so seen 🥹🫶 Gonna put that on my resume from now on 😂
We're HON twins, almost! I have the Ivory Slash in A5. I haven't seen many of our kind on YT so nice to meet another Ivory Slash girlie 😅 Love the name Butt Cover, it's perfect!
Omg yay!! I love how simple & classy the Ivory Slash looks. I already have a vision of how I’ll be decorating the front with stickers, hehe. The butt cover was a booty-ful find 😆💙
"I am going continue spending because I can" is my new life motto 😂
Hahaha same!! I love it! 😂
Shop ‘til I drop 😆 Gotta do my part to contribute to the economy 💸💸💸
Could the pen loop on the first cover you showed be so big because it is meant to fit the entire pen body? (like put the pen body through the loop and not just clip the pen onto it) Love your videos, thanks for showing all you hobonichi purchases! <3
This would make more sense than 2 pens together ahahahah! 😆😆 Thank you so much for watching! 🫶✨
Highly highly enjoyed this 😂😂😂
Ehehehe I’m glad to hear that! 🫶✨
I think the butt cover is pretty cool!
And booty-ful! 🤭🫶
Love you and your channel! Followed you on IG as well!! <3
Aah, thank you so much! 🥹🫶 I hope you enjoyed the video ✨
Rip lord Bridgerton 😂
His sacrifice brought us a juicy boob scene 🙏
I’m here to say I feel personally victimized by the lack of cooties on the unopened drawer pouch. Was hoping to see the fork inside so I can imagine the full versatility of the pouch. 🤧
I’ll go find a mini fork, lick it, and pack it in for you 🥹🫶✨
I liked and subscribed while I picked my nose
We love a multi-tasking queen 👑 Also not me snorting out boogers while laughing at this comment 🤧
Please watch in HD/4K and in 2x speed. I sound really funny😆 The 'Search & Collect' cover is $58 on the Hobonichi website. Idk where I got $32 from, probably in my hopes & dreams 🙈
I always do!
Thank you for watching! 🥰
So brave and also hilarious commentary ❤I really like how the end result came out
I’m glad you enjoyed it 🤭
Haha manure
💩✨
I know the pen this year is getting a lot of hate but I think it's cute and vibrant and it does look like Paddington. The blue aletonne is what i grabbed for my through the purple night weeks. Its a bit too large though 🤷
I love the cat cover too. I got it for a5 last year❤
Yes!! I can’t believe not more people pointed that out - how the pen is literally Paddington color haha. Hopefully it’ll start filling out nicely once your Weeks start fluffing up~ The cat cover was an unexpectedly good decision 😆
I love your voice and personality ❤ the cafe au lait cover is so gorgeous but I know I dont do well with zipper covers. 😢
Thank you so much for watching! ☺️🫶 Tbh, I'm not a huge fan of zip covers either. But the aesthetics of this cover were too good, haha! I'll probably be rotating this amongst my other covers, but I am happy to have it in my collection ✨
i love that you journaled in your hobonichi. itll be nice to look back at a few spreads while in 2025 :)
Now I just gotta make sure to keep up with it 😆 Thank you so much for watching, Kimi 🥰🫶✨
the cafe au lait is gorg. NU WILL FALL. also 2x speed did not disappoint but the video finished too quickly
Ahahahaha even after 28mins of my yapping, she has not fallen 🤣 You’re more than welcome to watch it ~again~ for a longer watching experience 🤭
2x kills me hahaha The real q is did this tempt YOU?? Ngoc is the one that failed here (as I sweat profusely)
Nu literally woke up and chose violence omg
😢😮
🥴🥴
I think you can peel off the back of the Kitta stickers, so it sticks all the way 😊
Omg this is literally mind-blowing information!!!!
Ok so I had to subscribe. I love the way your brain thinks. I laughed out loud when you mentioned the blue Alettone cover was Paddington’s raincoat - I totally could visualise this as I would think that too. I went for the Yumi Kitagishi as the Paddington sold out quickly and I thought about the A6 Paddington but decided to go cute with Yumi’s full range except the post-it tabs - sounds silly that I spent so much and wanted to save a few ££ on the posits!! Looking forward to checking out the rest of your videos and wishing you endless fun with your beautiful Hobonichi items 🎊🫶🏽🙌🏾🎉
Thank you so much for watching this video as well, Varsha! 🫶 The Yumi Kitagishi covers are beautiful as well! Something about her art tickles a nostalgic part of my brain, haha. I hope you'll get plenty of use out of your Hobonichi goodies as well ✨
This was such a great video. You are so insane - the best people are!! I absolutely adored this video, it was so much fun to watch…. Off to watch your previous videos for more unboxing fun.. I’m sure. I put in one order… for myself, but just like last year I am fighting with myself to put in another (not at fisticuffs yet!). I fluff up my notebooks so I don’t know if mine would still fit after adding collage elements, stickers and I too love fountain pens… literally sitting her drooling over your gold vanishing point - such a beautiful combo with the cafe cover - now I want both but I love my pens like my babies so I couldn’t see myself getting cross with the zipper for scraping my “Precious” (pen). Varsha, London 🤣🙏🏽🫶🏽🙌🏾
Agreed, entertained for sure! Question, since that zip cover is leather, does it smell like leather, at least inside?
Hahaha, thank you so much for watching and I'm so glad you were entertained! 😆🫶 I definitely think you might end up fighting with the zip cover as your journal grow if you tend to include a lot of ephemera. But at least when it's still "flat," it can sit in the pretty Cafe Au Lait cover 🤭
The interior of my Cafe Au Lait cover smells more plastic-y than leather 🤔 I wonder if it's because the exterior fabric overwhelms the interior leather smell, or if maybe the hot weather transferred the smell of the plastic bag to the cover. In any case, I don't notice any smell it during normal usage. And I'm sure it'll fade with time 😊
I loooooove your voice and this demonstration 😂. Thank you for showing Cafe au Lait!
Aww thank you sooo much for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed it 🥰
