What a fun video! I’m definitely use your code if I decide to get it. :)

I love this company but honestly I think I would have been very disappointed with this advent calendar if I’d bought it as a gift for myself. I only liked the pencil case/ pouch and the notebook. The to do list pad was ok and so was the ruler and stickers😢, but other than that I would not have been happy. Thanks for sharing with us though, you made the video fun anyway lol.

Your new journaling style looks so fun! I've also been doing more scrapbooking and collaging, especially the past few months. It's satisfying to collect and use stuff from outside, aka the scraps and "junk" 😄

Hey does anyone know how this compares to the canon selphy 1500 for prints?

Really inspiring ❤

i love seeing the evolution of your journaling style! i’m excited to see how you’ll continue to use your journals. one of my goals for 2025 is to journal w/ less “structure” and really try to be more creative & free with my style :)

Thanks for sharing your experience and thoughts. What a cool meetup, I wish these kinds of events would happen in more places - the community aspect is so fun! I come from the scrapbooking world so I have a very mixed style if you can even call it that - in my journaling and memory keeping practice. I think lately there’s a trend of amazing penmanship and very text heavy journal pages - especially what I see on socials - so I forget there are a million ways to ‘journal’ and no wrong way at all! We should be free to do what we want because ultimately it is also the process that gives me so much joy, not just the end result.

fun vidio, but can I make a suggestions. You fidget with the products so much when you talk about them, it's hard to get a good look at them because they are constantly moving.

What is the cover with the band you using on A^ (Not the clear cover from Midori)???

Hi, thank you for showing your covers and explaining so much about Hobonichi. I am going to join the family with getting some beautiful covers. I love all of your covers are they all A5 size? Maria

Stuff not needed just coveted.😂 Spend spend spend...🤦🏻‍♀️

I placed an order for the Wonderland 222 cover for the HON at the end of September after watching your video. They wanted to make sure I was ordering the correct cover since I didn’t order their planner. I had to watch your video again to make sure I wasn’t losing my mind. 😅 Hopefully I get it soon. Very helpful video. Thanks

Oh my goodness!!! I remember you vividly from Stationery Fest!!!! I had no idea you were on TH-cam! 😍 You were so incredibly kind and helpful to me at Helen’s booth! I appreciate you so much and I’m so excited to be a subscriber!! ❤

Enjoyed this video very much! That’s so exciting about your Japan trip, very excited to see footage from it ! ❤

Wow, I really like your video. Are you interested in cooperating with us? Our product is a water cup

I’d have to pair down if I was going on a plane, but my travel journal bag is a giant Guess purse 😂 so not a lot to me! I need my STUFF ❤

I wish I had known about the stappo before I bought the delfonics pouch. I hate that the delfonics pouch doesn’t stand up and just flops around everywhere. 😭

Hello! I’m really enjoying your channel! I’m in Japan right now & going to many places this coming week that you visited in your videos …I am a 45 minute train ride from Tokyo….are there any stationery stores you wanted to visit but weren’t able to? If so, which ones and where are they located? Are there any items you wished you had purchased but for whatever reason did not? Which items?

I’m in love with the brown leather cover. Got it in A6 and was planning to use it with my black gingham HON with a clear cover but it’s a very snug fit. Mine doesn’t slide in easily like yours. 🥲

Have a wonderful, wonderful trip!! Can’t wait to see what goodies you buy while you are there!!!❤❤❤

I love the pen case that says pens, pencils, and secret things! Have fun on your trip!!

Hi Rachel!!! I love your videos been binge watching watching all of them!! I’m so happy for you to go to Japan!!! So jelly!!! Pleas be safe and have fun and make lots more videos so I can continue binge watching!!! ❤❤❤❤

Thank you Raquel! ❤ You’ve certainly been busy with your work, jetting here & there! Take good care of yourself! 😊

Yaaaas TN TOKYO! I have the same one!!! ❤❤❤

What a relaxing video omg, instantly subscribed.

Do any of these Japanese stationary shops ship internationally? I don’t hear anyone talking about it, and the western stores I’ve seen that supply some of the items mark them up by a good 40-50%.

Thanks for sharing. You have a nice collection. I got an A5 Cousin, a Denali pencil board, and the snow globe Weeks.

Raquel everything is so awesome!!! I really enjoyed your video and that Toool box is chef kiss ❤❤❤

What is it with experience coffee and papers. 🤔

So lovely! Thanks for bringing us along on your journey. I wonder if Hobonichi will ever do a shop or something in Europe? Pretty please! And loved your talk through of the yumi cover and why you bought it. I love the designs inside too, what a cool feature for a cover. And totally enjoyed seeing all the stationery hauls... what a dream! I am very much into using the pouches for stationery... I think there are a lot of makeup pouch type things, but they totally work for stationery to organize items. And BTW Longchamp has ring agendas, so it's like stationery adjacent :) LOL

I see a rockypaperscissorsco video, I like 👍

It was so nice meeting you! Hope to see you again in SoCal! <333

Such a great haul! 🤩 I loved your choice and reason for your cover this year and I’m excited to see how your collection grows 💕 manifesting I make it out to NYC so we can have a proper journal date ✨ missing you from sunny SoCal!

I agree it is special, and although I do not have it, I can imagine it feels great to hold. I am also grateful you specified the size in your description. I always have trouble choosing the right size. I can’t believe I still have that problem

I met you at the LA Pop-up event! Thank you for inviting us to partake in the food too 😄 After seeing your A5 and simmering on it for a looong while, I decided to size up from an A6 to an A5 for next year.

Very thorough haul! Thanks for sharing! I definitely added a few spots I didn’t have on my list already! We are headed to Japan this week for the first time!

I love your insight on Hobonichi! Yes! I wish the book came in English!!

love the lightening but maybe get a warmer light for the vibes ahahah

Going to Japan on my honeymoon in 4 weeks time and this has made me SO excited for all of the stationery shops (even more so than I already was)! I'd love to know how much you spent on your haul 😱

Coming back here because I just realized I never posted my comment?? 😂 Anyway, I love this haul! The stickers are so adorable and I love how everything is so on theme!

Loved your haul and the English guidebook! 😍

I wanted to get the taut cover, but how will you keep it closed since it has no butterfly stopper or TN band? If you put a band around it, it will wear and patina a line around it. Curious what you think for keeping it closed?

I would love the English guidebook. I got the new Hon with the night sky scene, the cousin, the pink and yellow cover, and the transparent cover with the dogs 🐕 with the floppy ears.

I think the Orange Hollyhocks is one of the best Liberty patterns they’ve ever produced 🤗 Enjoyed recognizing your voice (!!) at the Hobo Preview Party in Brooklyn ✨ Happy Hobonichi season 📚

i’m really conflicted on whether i want a cousin or the avec.. is it hard to write in the cousin after a while? that’s a concern of mine 😅

I LOVE the floral cover you picked. I'm totally kicking myself for overlooking that one. So pretty! Love seeing how fluffed up your a5 is getting. I got SOOOO many things. The designs this year totally got me. Everything from Hiroko Kubota this year totally tugged at my heartstrings. And also SUSHI! Totally did a haul video too and I have been watching tons of them too ha ha.

I would love to have the guide in English! Loved that you shared it with us! It was super beautiful! I would love to have one and save it in my journal!!❤❤❤

Gorgeous leather cover in brown. Amazing purchase.

Hello! For 2025 I picked an aka tweeded style Brauberg planner, cuz Hobonichi is hella expensive for me and won't be probably delivering into my area even 😅

I am recently retired and I do miss using the Jibun Techo.!! I was self employed and after many years in Hobonichi, I switched my work planner to the Jibun Techo and LOVED it so much. I loved the clean look, the paper and yes the book lays flat as well. Some years I used the Biz, other years I used the regular one like ur using.! I debated on getting the B6 slim mini for next year just because I miss my Jibun techo.! Loved ur video, scary setting ur Teddy Blake on the railing like that, lol. I actually sucked in my breath.! Thankful it did not fall.! I wish I had a bigger town near me to journal in a coffee shop.! I live on a dirt road in Small (out of town) Rural Pa. Where everyday I feed the deer, birds, squirrels and yes, raccoons and bear show up too.! Love every minute of it, however once in a while, a coffee shop journaling session would be nice.!
