This is the most helpful video on the 2024 release. Thank you for showing a close up of each texture. It changed my selections and I am glad I watched the video.
I love everything you got, including that beautiful moon phase planner. It’s perfect for what you will use it for. I absolutely love Hobonichi too! And that Choucho cover is so cute with that charm :) I almost ordered that last year.
I discovered Hobonichi this year. I got the Cousin in A5 and the Twinkle Shells cover. I absolutely love the look and feel of the cover and the new TRP.
Yay! 👏🏼 Congrats on your purchase! I love the works of that artist. I’m in the Tokyo Metronome A5 cover now (also by her), & will be in her 2024 Weeks next year. Welcome to the cult! I mean CLUB!! Hahaha 😉😬😅
I ordered my first A5 Cousin with the almond "Have a Nice Day" cover...with the A5 panda bear writing board! Just a few minutes ago, I ordered the A6 mint candy cover with the same statement on the front! 2 A6 day-free notebooks and the panda writing board! Pandas are so adorable! 😊
Yay!! Can’t wait for you to get yours in. Unboxing is always exciting for me with the annual release ☺️ I feel like the expanded HON selection this year went over well, so I wouldn’t be surprised at all if they start adding more accessories (like decorative CoCs) for it in the years ahead. Great idea!
What a great haul!! My personal life has been busy so I switched to day free this year so the pressure of daily pages didn’t get to me. I can’t handle blank pages and when I get behind sometimes it just snowballs and then I have huge gaps in my journal. It has worked well for me this year. But I must say that I am so tempted to get the liberty fabric HON. She is so pretty and definitely calling my name! I just don’t know if I want the A5 or to wait for November for the a6 English version. I’m thinking smaller pages may be more manageable for daily…idk. Decisions, decisions. 😅
Thank you! I have a friend who currently uses the day free & loves it. I used to use it as a work planner when I was working fulltime & it was fantastic for that purpose for me. I’ve already thought about how amazing some of the HONs would be in an English A6…Lord have mercy I might have to lock myself up somewhere on Nov 1 😂😅💀
thank you for sharing your beautiful order! I am loving how the A5 cousin HONs are looking, and the detail on the Makino illustration on the HON is just so beautiful ~ thank you so much for the close up look! I'm very close to being convinced even though I didn't initially plan on the A5 size for 2024! 😂❤ such beautiful items!
Thank you! I hope they continue offering the Makino designs annually at least another couple years. And not sure if this makes a difference, but that design is offered in A6 as well as A5. Sorry to enable if that helps, Lol
Hi doll, your new to me and I love your videos. So far, I've only picked up the weeks with the kitty on the front. I'm currently in a 2023 weeks for my wellness and a cousin for my everything. I'm putting in an order next week from 1101. Looking forward to seeing your set ups. Many Blessings, Sarah
Hi Sarah! So glad you’re here & thanks for watching! A weeks/cousin setup is such a good plan. Hope to connect again in the future to hear what you decide to add from 1101. Sooo many great choices this year to coordinate with your weeks; good luck!
I felt the same way about the floral. I got a weeks, only because I’m a fountain pen user. I usually buy my planners from dollar tree, so I was shocked by the quality upgrade.
I’m still waiting for my order but I did order the A5 botanical HON with the bot. Pencil board! Also a large yellow drawer pouch & the large Mina zip yellow design ( new) A5 cover
I just ordered the books Atomic Habits and 30 Days to Overcome Procrastination (by Corin Devaso). I want to spend the season practicing mindfulness meditation.
Ugh, it’s already February 2024 so if I buy one, there will be two months I can’t use but that cat bow tie cover is just so beautiful😭 I was just going to buy a small blank notebook and make each two page spread a weekly layout. I haven’t used a diary since highschool but I think I need one again to get me out of this rut I’m in as a result of health struggles! And I tried using my phone calendar but it just wasn’t working for me. Besides, there isn’t much that’s more satisfying to me than writing on Tomoe River Paper 😍 And at first the weekly layout will be enough because I’m going to start small with not too many tasks but now I’m thinking the A6 with daily pages might actually be better because it gives me room to grow as I get stronger and am able to take on more tasks. I think I will wait a week and if I still want it in a weeks time, then I will get one!
Hello, neighbor!! Great unboxing. What are you using all your books for in 2024? I received my order directly from Hobonichi Japan 6 days after I ordered it. I am very pleased with my items. New to me this year is the A5 Cousin Hon (pronounced like “hawn”) and the A5 Day Free. The Weeks I ordered this year is the “Take A Look”, which has the cat on it and is a hard cover. I got the same A5 Hon as you did, which is the “Cats and Me”, which uses shiny textured fabric used in neckties. I have cut the little illustrations in the pamphlets and pasted them on the interior cover page of my Weeks to give it more sassy-ness. I so love this planner company and I am so happy to have found them in 2017… all the nuances and little details. Hobonichi Jeopardy, anyone? Thanks for sharing, B! See you at insta!
Great choices Maria! I almost passed on the Cats & Me HON but so glad I didn’t! It does coordinate perfectly with the Take a Look Weeks. You’re right about ‘all the little details…’ So fun!
Great haul. What are your plans for all 3 of the HON A5? I bought the Liberty Fabrics and Tomitaro in A5 and A6 and a few weeks ☺️. Im trying to be realistic in terms of how much time ill be able to use them. For the most part one of the A5 HON will be my journal/memory keeper. I Don't want to part with my other A5 HON 😂 but i don't think i have a use for it.
Wellllll…great question! 😬😅😂 Every year I say I’m going to limit myself to 4-5 total books/notebooks for all planning & journaling, & every year I overbuy like it’s the last year I’ll ever be able to buy them 🤣 I still have another order shipping soon so haven’t made my final decisions yet. But, tentatively…I might use one Hon for business planning/tracking & another for Homeschool planning/tracking, which leaves one more undecided. Commonplace book or personal planning is always an option…but I’ve even considered drawing lines on the dailies to convert an A5 HON into a 5-year journal. I’m really still undecided at this point but will def share when I get it figured out! Hope you can find a use for your extra too. They outdid themselves with the covers this year! 🥰
@papermademedoit Thank you for your reply 🙏 I like all your ideas/plans!! Okay so not the only one...I tell myself the same thing. Then I just end up buying what ever I like then figuring it out after 😂. Worst case scenario I'll keep 1 or 2 as a back up or I'll sell it. I agree, the covers for the HON 👌. I also did a 2nd order from Hobonichi A6 Twinkle Tweed and other covers (still waiting). Then I'm waiting on Take a Note planner, I got A6 and B6. I'll stay tuned to see what you have planned 😊
@@ChanelthePomston No, you’re definitely not alone 😆 I really want to try the Take a Note one year! Have never seen one irl but they look amazing online 🥰 Good luck; I know you’ll figure it out with all your great planner choices ☺️
Have you ever heard of the crazy cat lady? Well I’m the crazy notebook lady, Lol 😆 I haven’t completed all of my decisions yet for next year, but the current thought is one for business planning/tracking & one for homeschool planning/tracking. Not sure about the third yet. There are so many ways to use a Cousin tho! Personal planner or journal, a family planner, commonplace book, faith journal…so many possibilities. I’ve paid similar pricing before for blank notebooks that included this many pages of the luxurious tomoe river paper but only had a solid color cardstock cover, so I had no qualms getting these beautifully bound books bc I loved the cover designs so much ☺️
I knew I shouldn't have clicked on this 😂What a great haul! I'm not so sure I can say no to that botanical HON-it's gorgeous. I don't need it. I don't need it. I don't need it......
@@papermademedoit At this moment it's not looking good. I have stuff in my cart, but there's no way I can get to $250. Thankfully Jet Pens is out of the HON-I'm not looking anywhere else....today
@@SuperTech59 I just got a shipping notification on the other order I referenced in the video…checked the contents & looks like I added an extra A5 Makino HON. Just sayin’…Lol
@@SuperTech59 Guilty! Hahaha. Looks like I’ll have a full set…book, cover, pencil board. It’s yours if you want any or all of it. Just shoot me a PM on Insta or email me at papermademedoitig@gmail.com 😉
Amazing haul- love it! (TH-camr tip- if your video seems a bit out of focus, regarding small details, check again after 30 minutes or so. TH-cam first uploads in a lower video quality and then to HD, but it takes a bit. 😉) Image quality looked perfect to me when I watched.
Thank you! Also appreciate the tip, had no idea 😬 I’ll have to go back & check it again. (The little botanical hobo cover icon I drew just looked beige/blank when I watched the playback, but you can actually see a sketch of the botanicals on it irl)
This is the most helpful video on the 2024 release. Thank you for showing a close up of each texture. It changed my selections and I am glad I watched the video.
Thank you! So glad it was helpful. I thought it might be beneficial for other ‘texture people’ like myself, Lol 😬
Great video! Thank you for taking the time to show close ups of the fabric, you did a wonderful job taking us through the books/fabrics.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed ☺️😬🤓

Sweet! The pandas were super cute. Also love the simplicity of the Have a Nice Day covers. Great choices!
Getting today❤. Cousin and weeks and A6 Hon I wish they had more cover options for Hon but clear would make sense.
Yay!! Can’t wait for you to get yours in. Unboxing is always exciting for me with the annual release ☺️ I feel like the expanded HON selection this year went over well, so I wouldn’t be surprised at all if they start adding more accessories (like decorative CoCs) for it in the years ahead. Great idea!
Scotchguard! Would love to hear how it works if someone tries it on the bow-and-tie or Liberty fabrics! These are beautiful.
I’m definitely considering it bc I like the texture of the fabric too much to cover it up…will keep y’all posted if I do it! Thanks for watching 😉
Great haul! Mine is quite humble. I ordered the avec with a cover and a few accessories 😊
Thank you! I used the avec for a few years in a row & am now considering it again for next year. Which cover did you choose?
@@papermademedoit I went with the Tomitaro Makino botanical cover. It's beautiful.
PVC tends to damage the glossy finishes, so I agree with you and Hobonichi, I wouldn't add a clear cover on the glossy one.
What a great haul!! My personal life has been busy so I switched to day free this year so the pressure of daily pages didn’t get to me.

Great choices! The Mina fabrics always catch my eye ♥️ Hope your order arrives soon; I know the wait can be rough Lol
I just ordered the books Atomic Habits and 30 Days to Overcome Procrastination (by Corin Devaso). I want to spend the season practicing mindfulness meditation.
That’s awesome! I’ve never heard of the Devaso book but definitely going to check it out. Thank you! 😉

No pressure but if you really like it there’s still 10+ months left in the year! You could always use the Jan pages for collections & lists. JS Lol 😉
Nice haul!! I only feel the difference in the paper when I flip through the book page by page, not to the touch or the pens so much...
Interesting! I’ll have to try that with a 2023 side-by-side to see if I can tell. Thx for the tip!
