It’s finally here! This video is a bit long with minimal editing, so you can share the excitement of unboxing everything with me. I hope all your Hobonichi dreams come true too!
5:20 I laughed so hard when you ended that beautiful quote with "that quote is quite anxiety inducing". 😂❤ I plan to use this notebook as a mini gratitude journal because the little "today" on each page reminds me to be grateful of the present moment. I'm not a big gratitude journaller (sorry I'm inventing words here) but I do find that if I'm having a tough time it can help to write down a few sentences to remind myself of all the things I love in life.
I just love your commentary & presenting style. It’s totally up my street. I wish this was the first hobonichi video I ever watched you have covered so many things I’ve wondered about. You also made me smile and laugh a lot - my face had a workout. Off to watch more🤓 Also your ending comment was beautiful. I finally received my first hobonichi today 5feb. I got the A5 Yumi Kitagishi cover & pencil board, the little tape thing like you got & the who is outside cats notebook. I was on the website at 3am on Saturday morning with a basket that gave free shipping & I had a word with myself. First I took out things that were gifts for others, then the things I wasn’t 100% about. There is still £122 left in the basket as I decided to buy in uk even tho things more expensive by item. I am so proud of myself & it was a lesson as to how easy it is to get carried away. That said in the weeks preceding the feb launch I did go bit crazy only low double digits buying stickers, pens & stuff that I discovered watching videos😂
So enjoyed your unboxing video! You truly made me “laugh out loud” several times. 😂 Great haul and thanks for showing us different notebooks in the A6 covers. Very helpful!! BUT, you made me start another HOBO Wish List! 🩵
I smell everything too! Survival instinct is strong 😂 love your haul! Thank you for describing textures as that’s a big part of my experience with the stationary and accessories 😊 enjoy the next years journey. Look forward to Your next video share ❤
This is such a ... sweet video! There's no better way to describe it. Me too, I've watched countless hauls this year but yours really made me smile. Loved the way you shared your thoughts. Thank you very much for this.
Lovely haul. Wishing you lots of fun with your baby old and covers for 2025. I also bought the Yumi Kitagishi Travel cover and the Keiko Shibata cat A6 notebook to use together. Thank you for putting the Avec and notebook in one cover, I was wondering lambing to do the same. Tip for the free pen in the butterfly closure (if you want to) I slide the pen UP from the bottom, pop the clip out and then back down, it feels backwards but is easier than sliding the pen down from the top with the too wide rubber grip. Best wishes Varsha.
I loved ur video, u are so sweet.! The bread/cat cover is adorable. I was going to order it, now seeing it, im sorry I didn’t. I just ordered from Hobonichi yesterday, I didn’t feel the need to hurry this year and order on “Sept 1, Hobonichi Day” they usually get back in stock the sell outs, so I took my time. Loved all the choices you made.! Have a Blessed Day.!!
Thank you for your kind words! ❤️ I agree, taking your time is the way to go, there's no rush to order on the first day. But I get why so many people enjoy the excitement and thrill of being part of the first day (even though it can be frustrating when the website crashes👀)
I’ve been thinking of getting the floating cats as well! I’ve watched several videos now and no one ordered it, so thank you for sharing your great haul Also the mountains, I definitely am having an internal struggle because I’d like to get it in A6. I’d also really like to get the Bear with the dandelions cover in the Cousin size, even though I don’t use a Cousin. Ahh, help! 😅
The struggle to choose between so many good options is so real! If you find another use for the A5, even if it’s not as a planner, then maybe you could still get that cover...
Watching your video made me think that maybe I should have gotten the cats on toast cover instead of gingham. Watching all these unboxing videos makes me feel fomo even though I got everything I wanted T_T. But I love your video and choices, and you're so funny :)
I'm really happy with the Bread floating in the wind cover, it brings me so much joy! (maybe it's the color, or maybe the adorable cats riding a piece of bread). The giingham cover is really lovely too, you shouldn't feel bad! I imagine the inside is a similar shade of blue to the cats' cover. And honestly I'm starting to think I might've preferred getting the gingham over the travel journal cover...the red is starting to be too much for my eyes.
@Yes.ButAlsoNo thank you for your answer! You can always get th3 gingham later if you still want to :) and maybe you can use the red one for special occasions, that way the red doesn't irritate you every day. It is a very special cover ❤️

I got an A5 Cousin, a Denali pencil board, and a snow globe weeks. Thanks for you kind words about lack of money.
I enjoyed your unboxing so much! Well done, and you are so funny. Haha The quotes are really anxiety inducing. 😂
