The Day-Free (both sizes) has become my absolute favorite in the Hobonichi lineup. It was hard to tear myself away from the cuteness of the A6 Original, but for me, it's worked out to be so much less wasteful, with no guilt for skipped day pages. So flexible!
13:15 that is great idea. I will try for 2025. I plan to use the notebook as a reading notes. And I hate having to carry two different notebooks around. This is perfect idea.
I got the Grey weeks cover. I have bought from your shop. Your stickers are amazing! Thanks for sharing some books l didn't know what they looked like!
Ended up buying the A5 HON with the Yamazakura (A6 HON in this vid) in English since the JP version was sold out. First time trying out a Hobonichi (and planning in general) so I'm super stoked to receive them! Gonna receive them January of next year due to overseas shipping ^^
That Hon cover is the reason I'm going back to A5 from B6 this year. My issue with the cousin was how floppy it was but I placed my order from the hobonichi store for the Hon, cover, pencil board, and closure band while I was watching your video
I've been eyeing the A5HON in the Yamazakura but told myself I wasn't going to do Hobonichi this year as I'm trying to simplify things. so am trying the Sterling/Ink planner. But I really want that HON as I actually have found over time I don't like covers in general. I never use the pockets and I don't like how the planners feel in them. It seems like the HON is a great compromise of having a fun design on the front but also it's not in a cover! I've been using the Cousin since 2019 but am finding it's too much space for me which is why Sterling/Ink B6 draws me in. Ugh . Decisions! LOL!
Awesome haul. So fun to watch what everyone is getting. I love the gingham cover with the mint inside. But I ended up getting the botanical cover A5 Hon instead. I had to get the falling star weeks and the pale green and blue just so I could get the design clear cover. Happy Planning!
I love everything you got and I see your Gingham cover it's look good , So I going to buy Gingham on a6 cover for next order Thank you so sharing. Happy Hobo 2024!!!
I never wanted an Avec. I don't like the idea of separating a year into two parts, but your idea of using it with the notebook on the cover... simply brilliant!🤩 Now you left me with serious doubts about which one to buy... Cousin or Avec? 🤔🤔🤔🤔
Lovely haul!! Can you describe cover of the a6 Hon? Is it fabric or smooth? I know you said it's like the Weeks, so is it that kind of fabric like the Weeks?
Great unboxing! Excited to see how your experience with the Hon goes. I got an a5 cousin, a6 techo, the a6 bordeaux taut leather cover, the weeks night sparkler, the little gifts a6 file folders and the Aurora duty a6 pencil board. Are you planning on selling any of the freebie pens? I’d love to buy one. I’m so sad I didn’t order directly from hobo but I wasn’t going to hit the amount for free shipping.
Do not put the sticky pocket in the back cover if you're going to use a cover. It'll be covered up. Put it on the inside right. I enjoyed your unboxing.
Jealous of your cute onigiri bag! My daughter uses an A6 dayfree for her work schedule and any work related notes in the back. I'm surprising her with the botanical cover and pencil board this year. The note on the flap says "Happy nothing special day"
@@MandyLynnPlans I hope this doesn’t come across as dogpiling here but I speak Japanese and tbh your pronunciation of HON sounds fine to me :) ’hawn’ would sound more like HAN to my ears, which I’d correct someone for! (*technically* HON doesn’t have the full rounded ”oh-oo” that ”hone” does- its more of a hearty santa ”hohoho” with an N at the end, if that makes sense- but I guess it depends on how you pronounce ”hawn,”too? written pronunciation guides are always a bit dicey…) Linguistics aside, love your video! I’ve been so tempted to go with the botanical A5 HON for next year…I find I’ve been missing the sturdy hardcover of my pre-Hobonichi Leuttchterm, so I’ve been trying to scope it out to see how it compares. I love the detail you showed on it here!

Yes!! So glad it’s working well for you!
The girl math: if I get one more thing, it’s free.😂 I’m here for it haha!
It’s true!! 😂
13:15 that is great idea. I will try for 2025. I plan to use the notebook as a reading notes. And I hate having to carry two different notebooks around. This is perfect idea.
Glad it was helpful!

Thankfully you still have time to decide!!

Great choice!!
Love your choices. I ordered a full year a5 this year. I’m questioning that choice as I’ve only had aveks.
Thanks! I hope it works well for you!
I am sad they removed the flip animation from the day-free. That made me chuckle.
Yes, me too!!
TFS 📚 I’ve enjoyed your stickers this year 😊
Yay!! Thanks so much!

Do you use a lot of stickers or washi tape? I LOVE the fresh new start after 6 months!
Love it!💕
Thank you!!
Nice haul! I got the a5 hon as well
Enjoy it!!
Lovely haul!! Can you describe cover of the a6 Hon? Is it fabric or smooth? I know you said it's like the Weeks, so is it that kind of fabric like the Weeks?
It's not a smooth fabric, it is textured. It has a small x pattern all over it.
@@MandyLynnPlans thanks!
The hidden message is “Happy nothing special day”
Thanks!! I forgot!

Just sent a message (I hope you meant through the chat feature lol )

Good point!
Oh boy i am likely the accessories
Thanks!

The note on the flap says "Happy nothing special day"
That is awesome! She will love it! And yes!! That’s it, thanks for the reminder! ☺️
Wow amazing haul. 😍😍 Avec in Japanese language. Isn't it? Or available in English language?
Just Japanese, unfortunately!
lovely video!! 🥰 gentle reminder, that the HON is pronounced "hawn" (and not "hone"). happy planning!
Good to know, thanks!

Is the a5 Hon a full year?
Yes!
Apperantly you cant bulk up the HONs as they are hard cover
Yes, I wouldn't want to do a kit every week for sure! Just the occasional sticker usage and washi tape here & there!
