Cute Hobonichi Weeks Setup 2025
Let’s set up my planner for 2025, which is this gorgeous Harvest Plaid Hobonichi Weeks.
When I move into a planner, I like to decorate certain pages to start making this notebook feel like my own, sprinkle in some cuteness,add some color, and in general make it feel cozy and inviting :)
What planner are you using in 2025? Have you set it up yet?

I love your style of journaling so much! Your cats are adorable and I cannot wait to use them in my journal! Thanks for your generous content. Your flip throughs are my favorites!
Super cute and cosy setup! I’ll be using a hobonichi weeks for the first time next year and I’m really looking forward to trying it. Loved finding your account as I plan on using it in a similar way 😊thank you for sharing
Omg I adore this!!!
Always love watching your videos. This weeks cover is so “cottagecore” and matches perfectly with your adorable cat stickers. I almost went with the Harvest plaid too, but decided on the Paddington Weeks. With my back pages, I usually don’t section them out, I just use the next page, but perhaps I will this year! I am using my weeks notebook this year to keep track of my life with our first baby on maternity leave. Exciting!
I’m obsessed with the cat stickers! I’m going to to join, but need to figure out a way to print them first.
I had a hobonichi weeks before 2019. I felt confined after a while, so I switched to my standard sized TN. This year I'm trying the weeks again in a Navy plain cover. I love seeing your work! Happy Thanksgiving!
So pretty!! Can I please ask what sticker paper you got for the erin printables? Xx
Thank you Stephanie! That is the Clear Matte sticker paper from onlinelabels.com :)
OMG. I just found you, haven't even finished the video and already subbed and joined the cat club! Your printables are soooo cute! Now back to the video!
Oh hi and welcome and thank you so much for subscribing! I hope you'll have lots of fun with all the cats :)
I have a weird obsession with trying all types of photo papers and find the best ones for my projects and this video is amazing ❤ I really want to try some red river papers in the future.
Haha that's a fun obsession though! What's been your favorite photo paper so far? I've had only good experiences with the Red River Papers and I appreciate that they have printer profiles for all their papers.
I have been buying old paper packs from goodwill since people never use them it’s a fun way to try a bunch cheap. My favorite is some vintage office max matte paper😂but I want to try red river matte and looking for a nice card stock that doesn’t have a lot of texture.
Nothing beats a Hobo Weeks, I agree!!
I agree :)
been searching for a vegan TN cover for so long! thanks for this video! maybe I will make one myself someday if i cant find one at last
If you do end up making one, let me know how that goes for you! I hope you'll enjoy making it!
I love your comfort page. That vintage card is so adorable! A month or so ago I saw a video from someone I don't normally watch, so I don't remember who she is, but she flipped through her Hobonichi Weeks from previous years. She laughed about how she decided one year her word of the year was "Potato". Another year it was "Moist" with something else, but I can't remember what. Something else similarly fun! Previously my words of the year have been things like "Simplify", "Calm", "Peace", but for 2025, I decided - why not - I'm going with "Coffee"! I like coffee, I have coffee scrapbook paper to use for my Weeks cover, I have coffee stickers, my most used Tombows are #942 and #992 (with #761), so I'm just going to embrace the coffee theme! Am I organized? I won an award at my company outing for most organized! (Out of 120 employees!) 🤣 2025 will be ny 6th year in a Weeks. I use the notes section bullet journal style, but also track things like online orders, who won the NASCAR race each week, why nail color I had done at the salon, movies watched, PTO days, and a few other things. I'm definitely in a good rhythm with my Weeks! Have a great week Maike!
Thanks so much for watching Kathy and for your kind and fun comment! I love that someone had "potato" and "moist" as their words of the year! Hey, whatever brings joy and meaning to your life, I'm hear for it! And I think it's great that you're going with coffee and that it is already giving you creative ideas for your Hobonichi Weeks!
Adorable!!
Thank you :)
I love these cats so much 😻
Aw thank you so much :)
We need a cat collage club sticker release book🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Oh that would be neat! A home for all the kitties :)
I love your cat stickers. You’re so talented. I tend to be messy with a focus to be more organized, lol. I have Christmas shopping almost done. I have a small family. Just my boys, mom, dad, brother, sister in law and nephews family. I am using a weeks and a6 for planning, I have a separate b6 journal. My b6 is my synchronicity journal. I write about my spiritual journey there.
Thank you so much Stacey for your kind words, really appreciate it! Oh a synchronicity journal, that sounds intriguing! If you feel comfortable sharing, I'd love to hear more about that.
I would love to be a member, but can you only pay wit a creditcard? I don't have one, so is Paypal an option too?
Hi! I’m so glad thank you like the cats. Unfortunately my website host only accepts credit cards for subscriptions. However, I do have some folks pay via PayPal and I send them the collage sheets via email. I‘d. Be happy to include you. If you’re interested, send me an email or a DM on Instagram (both is in the description box).
@ thanks Maike! I sent you a dm on Instagram. ❤️
Well this turned out so stinking cute! I am in love with all of your stickers!
Aw thank you so much! That's so sweet of you :)
"Friendly" is the perfect word for your book! I love it so much- so cute and cozy feeling. That "contact" card is very charming. 🧡
Thank you so much :) I'm glad that it comes across as friendly to you too! It's amazing what an impact a couple of stickers can have to the feeling and connection of a book
So nice to hang out with you and watch! I’m new to planning - I know, scandalous - and I already feel it helps me getting more structured and organized. I don’t NEED a planner, but now I’m starting to incorporate it into my life and it makes more and more sense and I find more and more uses! Since I wasn’t sure about the whole thing I didn’t wanna spend the big bucks, but found a very affordable one on Amazon ( planning to film a video on it), so far great for me, but if the whole year goes well I’ll have to switch to Hobonichi for 2026. I use fountain pens and they even work in my cheap planner, it’s great paper, no bleed. Your cat stickers are absolutely adorable!
I'm so glad to hear you liked hanging out together! It sounds like you're taking a very sustainable approach to planning, which is helpful I think, since you weren't sure you needed one in the first place. It's easy to get too complicated to quickly and become turned off by planning completely. And good for you to have found a cheap option that even takes fountain pens! That's neat!
@ 🥰😘
17:45 loving this!! Definitely not in a Christmas mood lol more so a winter cozy candles and warm drinks mood 😅
That's a good and cozy mood to be in :)
those kitties are so adorable
Thank you so much :)
ugh hobonichi is the definition of exquisite taste!
Yes, I agree! Some of their choices are so subtle, yet have such an impact on the overall quality of their designs.
New subscriber here and I’ve been enjoying your videos so much 😊 I have the little Tools to live by-scissors and they are so pretty and cute! But I only use them on the road for small quick tasks. I recently got the “Tonic Studios Tim Holtz Mini-Snips 5 inch” scissors for cutting out stickers sheets I’m making - and I’m super happy with them! Very comfortable in the hand and very precise 👌 Thanks for sharing this lovely video 🥰
So glad to hear that you've been enjoying my videos :) That's very encouraging! I ended up getting the Tonic Studios Tim Holtz scissors and like them quite a bit! Maybe I also should take more breaks when I do cutting sessions :D
Love your outtake on minimising mildliner colours! I often get overwhelmed with having too many options, so I'm rethinking my collection right now ahahaha thank you for the video!!
It's so easy to get excited by variety and starting a "collection", I think.
Thank you so much for sharing your journals. Love your cat illustrations, wish I could order different merchandise, like cards, notebooks, mugs, buttons, bags etc with them:)
Thank you so much for your kind comment! Oh yes, those would be fun to create! I'll see what I can create next year :)
Loved journaling with this in the background
I'm so glad to hear that :) Thanks for journaling with me!
Vielen Dank für das tolle Video mit ausführlichen Informationen….🍀 und der sehr angenehmen ruhigen Stimme..😃
Freut mich, dass dir das Video gefallen hat! Ich bin immer ganz froh, wenn jemand ein ausfuehrliches Video dreht, gerade bei Sachen, die etwas teuerer sind.
I love your cat stickers, they are so CUTE! Btw the adhesive that I use is the Tombow permanent adhesive. It’s like a pen corrector but instead is glue and is powerfully hehe you just need a tiny bit and it works wonders.
Thank you so much for your kind words! Oh like a glue runner? That sounds interesting...probably less messy than glue stick :)
I love this videoo!! yu won a new subscriber
Aw, thank you so much!
Oooh your stickers are gorgeous!! I love your Weeks content!! ♥️
Aw thank you so much! That's so sweet of you.
Loved this video! I got really excited when I saw there was a new video of yours online!! 😍
Aw, thanks! I am so glad you enjoyed this video! I have been really enjoying watching and listening to relaxing JWM videos, but then when you film them yourself, it's easy to question wether or not it's relaxing or boring :D So thank you for your kind feedback.
I loved this video! I pretty much wear the same all black outfit every day and just change my shoes/boots and chunky necklaces.
Thank you so much, that's encouraging to hear :) I think having a go-to outfit and changing out the accessories and shoes is a very efficient way to get dressed. That probably makes packing for trips super simple as well.
so cute n cozy. enjoyed watching yer pages Maike<3
Thanks so much Suzi :) That's sweet of you to say!
This was great to just relax with, I did some planning myself and was so calm and content while listening to you and checking in on your gorgeous drawings every now and then 🤗
Oh that's so great! Makes me so happy to know that you enjoyed the video and got some planning done. Thank you so much for your kind comment!
thank you for todays video and for your channel in general. you’ve created such a whimsical, inspiring little space that i know i can always return to. also, i love the ‘drawing the washi tape’ idea.
Aw, thank you so much! I'm really touched by your kind comment! I'm glad my channel feels like a positive and safe space to you.
Loved this! I really enjoy the cute fashion drawings and their style. I’ve picked up some Moleskines based on Seaweed Kisses’ theories and will run some experiments hahaha
So glad you enjoyed the video! I have been so tempted myself to order a Moleskine. I'd be curious to hear what you find out!
I put a cello tape around my tombow, right around the pen where the colour number is. That way the tape protects the number from rubbing off and I can still see it through the tape. 😊
That's a great tip! I'm gonna do that with the ones that are still legible. Thank you for sharing!
Hey!! What thin sticker paper did you use for your photo collage on march 14th? ( 11:11 in the video)
That is the Clear Matte sticker paper from OnlineLabels. They have it for both inkjet and laser printers. Hope this helps!
I really enjoyed this video and also 'palettendrek' will stay with me for a long time, such a good word!
So glad you enjoyed the video! I must say that though I had fun filming this, afterwards I felt a little unsure... I guess there is a fine line between "relaxing" and "boring", hehe. Really appreciate your feedback!
Really enjoyed today’s video. I found it calming and so interesting. Yes, I would like more videos with this kind of creative content. I found it real and down-to-earth.
Oh thank you! So glad to hear you enjoyed this! That's really encouraging to hear. I'll definitely film more, as I enjoyed the process as well :)
Lovely to have some relaxing journal time - I agree! I am not used to drawing with an audience, and even recording it gives me the nerves, lol! I also think it's hard to have a good setup to record the right angle, so thank you for taking the time and effort to do this! I think your characters are so cute - also they are looking at each other! It's amazing how adding a bit of color really makes the illustrations pop too! Also an interesting topic to consider personal style. I have tried many times to document outfits and do some wardrobe overhauls, but still end up being a bit all over the place currently. I also work from home or just doing school runs, so rarely dress up... I find myself too lazy to think about it on a day to day basis, so then it just becomes basic like jeans and a sweater.
So glad you enjoyed this video, Linda! I would definitely consider myself a "line person" in that I really enjoy line art, both the making as well as the look of it. But every time I decide to add a bit of color, I like how much more alive it all looks :) Personal style is fascinating to me. But I try to not stress about it or see it as a must. Most days I am content with a sweater and jeans :)
@ I have realized that sometimes it’s hard to even objectively think about if I truly like something or am I being influenced and judging with someone else’s eyes - in outfits like what someone my age ‘should’ look like or in art or other parts of life too. Interesting to think about 🤔 because of course our preferences have been formed by our environment and experiences… hmmm what is authenticity!?!?
Ah yes, that is indeed really tricky. And I think we can be influenced to like something or buy something, but the opposite is true as well in that we can be influenced to stop liking something. I guess that is similiar to what you brought up in regards to dressing "age-appropriate". And I agree that that applies not only to fashion, but all kinds of things... even journaling.
