Unboxing My 2025 Hobonichi Haul
Переглядів 2,1 тис.День тому
Unboxing and chatting about what I ordered this year from the 2025 Hobonichi release! I didn’t buy too many Hobonichi items this year as I’m trying not to overpurchase and to keep a minimal journal lineup (fingers crossed). The Hobonichi covers I did pick this year were quite pricey, so keeping it to just three also made sense. Thankfully, I did save a bit by ordering directly through the Hobon...

    Highly enjoyed this!!! You two are so fun and such a dynamic pair and goes to show how fun stationery besties are! I love how you did a comparison in the 5Y with both a 5Y journaling and a chunky a6 bc I always wondered if you could use the 5Y covers for an a6! Super helpful review!! Everything looks so gorgeous together, loved your picks! Ahhhh we need more of these please! 💚💚💚

      It just seemed like an odd move by Hobonichi, especially after the chaos of release day. If they wanted to raise prices anyway, they should've announced it beforehand and then implemented it. ☹️ With the increase, I can't justify another order at Hobonichi now if I wanted to. And I'm sure those who missed out the first time won't want to either.

    Beautiful items! Ness’ bike cover is sooooo cute- haven’t seen anyone on YT show that one. (Sorry about Hobonichi’s response. I received the same surprising response from them about the yellow A6 fish scale crest cover that I purchased. It does not bend and stay closed like their other covers, therefore making it unusable.)

    Thank you for sharing all the information you knew about the Leonardo Golden Abalone. I was at this year's DC Pen show too and I actually bought the Rose Gold version of that pen (because it was beautiful) But when I went home to research the exact name of the pen I realized that the metal hardware on my pen was different from the ones I was seeing online. But thanks to you, now that I know it was a pen show exclusive that makes it even more special to me. So cool. I got mine in the extra fine and it was my first Leonardo Pen as well. I mostly went to the test the table to get a feel for the pens, but when I saw the golden abalone in rose gold, I just knew I wanted it. All the pens you got were beautiful.

    • @pleinpages
      @pleinpages 20 днів тому

      Amazing! I'm so glad you got one too. It really took me forever to decide between the rose gold and the gunmetal, both are so beautiful. ☺️ I actually messaged one of the Leonardo reps who I follow on Instagram, and she is the one who told me about the pen being a show exclusive. I was wrapped up in all the beautiful pen options I realized I never asked about it at the show and like you, couldn't figure out more about the pen online. But I'm glad I found out about it later and glad it was helpful to you too! ☺️ Hope you enjoy your pen!

    I don't usually like Hobonichi's own covers. The plastic look is not my thing and the cartoony art style rubs me the wrong way. There are only two official Hobonichi covers that I've liked. The first one is the liberty fabric you have. If I was in a need of a wallet I would be googling does it exist in an A6, because that would be the perfect wallet size for me. (un)fortunately I do have a good wallet so no need to spend money on that. The second one is the Tragen. The moment I saw it I was obsessed with it. I just planner hopped last week from a weeks to an Hobonichi A6 Hon and the need/want to get a Tragen for it was so strong. Luckily I came to my senses and only bought the A6 Hon. I've given my self permission that If stick with the Hon and want to use it for next year I can buy the cover. Hopefully by then there are more colours. A teal one would be a dream. Thank you so much for sharing your haul. For how popular these seem to be I've not seen many UA-cam videos about them. I hope you give some updates on how you have liked using it later on. And as another pet owner I would love to know how much of an annoyance it is with a shedding animal.
