i admire your calm/luck/bank account (whichever applies) - i received my a5 a few days ago, and had a lovely surprise to have to pay extra taxes. i just got the notebook (amazing paper, true), without the cover (it's going in my a5 filofax anyway), so : techo + shipping + taxes at check out + taxes on my doorstep = 70€. IN MY FACE. i wrapped everything back up very securely and hid it out of my sight, as i'm just too appalled and too scared to ruin such a precious marvel. maybe i just had bad luck, and i sincerely wish everyone else enjoy theirs. next time i'll just order some tomoe river paper on ebay (again, AMAZING PAPER), and bind my own book if i want one. sorry to be such a party pooper, as i trully enjoy your videos.
Oh that is too bad! I knew beforehand how much taxes I would have to pay for it, so it was not a horrible surprise for me. And as a filofax plus inserts usually cost me more than the whole order plus taxes and the Hobonichi is so wonderful I decided it was worth it :). I absolutely love it and don't regret spending the money at all. But I understand that it is annoying to have to pay taxes if you were not prepared for it, that sucks :(
palestblue thank you for being sweet, - as always ! :) i guess i've been luckier than you with my filofax purchases, then. i absolutely love the cover you got for your a6, it is so beautiful. anyhow, i'll keep watching your hobonichi videos in hope it will help me start using mine. so, keep them comming girl ! :)
I am always upset when I get my customs bill for a Hobonichi order, even if I'm expecting it! So I really understand your frustration. The first time was the worst; I couldn't believe how much money I had ended up spending! But I'm so addicted to Hobonichis that I've grown to accept it, even though it's very unfair. For my last order I had to pay £19 in customs charges, even though the whole Hobonichi order including shipping only cost £30! It''s institutionalised robbery. But having beautiful Hobonichis is worth it :o)
Vegan Organizer yes, definitely, the surprise factor was the worst. i'm happy though you're happilly using yours - i love the colouring idea ! and thank you, i feel a bit better now. will try and focus on finding a way to use it that doesn't feel like i would be wasting it.
Thanks, I'm glad you like the colouring project! :o) Good luck with yours - I hope you find a nice way to use it, because that will take away the trauma of the customs charge!
Lovely video Maria! I seen your doodles you are very talented your Hobonichi is just perfect, that flyer is very cute! So jealous! 😝 thanks for sharing xoxoxox
It's beautiful! I was going to purchase the Hoboniche Techo in January of this year , but unexpectedly purchased my dream Filofax instead. Next Year for sure!
PriannciaJ Which filofax did you purchase? Are you still happy with it? :) I was soooo undecided as well. But I sure am glad I decided to try the hobonichi :)
Great unboxing video, thanks! I have the same blue cover for one of my Cousins. It's a beautiful colour; enjoy! I'm looking forward to seeing how you use your Cousin and also to your comparison of the Hobonichi with other planners.
TwoOnlyChildren xoxox to be honest I have not noticed any so far... I am sorry to hear that your hobonichi order gave you a headache... the plastic maybe?
Judith Meyer Mh... I am not sure, things always change for me haha. But I guess I will, because right now I am really liking that system. I will film another "Planning Update" video soon, just have a crazy deadline @ work right now, so I don't have much time :D
Loved your unboxing! Can't wait to see you using it. I've consider buying one but I think the cousin it's 2 big for me. I would like to to receive the hobonichi flyer! It's so stinkin cute!!! Will you do a video on how to draw simple things like flowers and so? Thanks x
Marlene Raygoza It was a postcard in a german magazine called "harmony" last december. I am sorry, I am afraid there was no mention of the artist or source :(
I don't know why, but I compleatly fell inlove with your card that you put in last in your Hobo A5. (Girl with tea cup) Where can I get a hold of one of them. I can't seem to find any cute cards etc to put in my Hobo here in Sweden. :I Hugs, Daniela
Dankeschön :) Man muss sie in Japa bestellen (über die offizielle Website). Zum Preis kommt dann also leider noch Kosten für die Post Steuern. Ist es aber total wert!
Yay for the hobonichi techos!!! Your covers are so nice! It's so fitting that you received that colour tissue case too :) I will send you some tissues one of these days along with A6 writing board. I bought one but I don't think I'm going to use it :p Hope you're having a wonderful weekend, I love your videos!!
REALLY? That would be so wonderful!!! *___* Yes, I am so happy about the blue tissue shell :) it was a wonderful surprise! Thank you so much for introducing me to the hobonichi world haha I am so in love with both my cousin size and my A6 size!
This was such a nice unboxing! Having both the Techo in A6 and A6 is something I'm planning on doing next year. How would you compare the cousin to the original? Do you like it more?
Celine Wang Very cool!! I think you will love having both the A6 and A5 size! I love both very much, the A6 is the perfect daily jounaling size and the A5 is the perfect planner size for me :D I will do a comparison video in the future!
Hi palestblue I am considering getting a Hobonichi but I am unsure about which size to get. Which do you like better? I'm leaning towards the cousin because it has more space to write and draw. Is it really heavy?
snapefangirl Well... I guess it very much depends on how you would like to use it. I love the A6 as a daily journal because even on busy days I can usually squeeze in the little time it takes me to draw/write/create an A6 sized page. But for planning I definately prefer the cousin because of the bigger size and the weekly pages.The cousin is quite heavy even without the cover... I will try and find the time to do a setup and review for both the A6 and the A5 hobonichi this weekend, maybe this can help you decide?Let me know which one you end up ordering :) xoxo
hattest du Probleme mit zoll?ich überlege ob ich bestellen soll aber der mist mit zoll den ich bei ner bestellung aus japan hatte will ich nicht nochmal 😂
+cassietanii Nein, noch nie. Ich musste einmal bei einer größeren Bestellung selbst zum Zollamt, aber das war wie immer gar kein Stress und die waren da sehr nett. Sonst kann ich meist beim DHL Boten direkt bezahlen, falls Zollgebühren anfallen :D
+palestblue ich hab bis jetzt nur 1 mal überhaupt im Ausland bestellt und da gabs dann Probleme weil keine Rechnung aussen am paket war...Deswegen bin ich jetzt immer etwas am überlegen weil zollamt hier etwas weiter weg ist . aber bei dir sieht das alles so gut aus das ichs auch haben will 😂
Hi there, just stumbled upon your videos and really enjoy them. :) Funny, by just listening to your voice, I at first though you had an Asian accent. :)
Oh my goodness Maria....i just got my Hobonichi box a week ago and no flyer!!!! Aaaargh I was so looking forward to cutting those cute little characters out. I reckon the people packing must have mistakenly put mine in your box! I don't know I'm just joking -but if you can send it to me I will pay the postage as I am a bit distraught as my box feels incomplete without it.....can you help me with it? Xx
Beautiful blues!!

The hobonichi techno cousin cover is so pretty!
Thank you so much :) Yes, I absolutely love it, too!!!

Did the off gassing bother you?
I couldn't use it. Gave me the worst headache.
I never could get used to it.
TwoOnlyChildren xoxox to be honest I have not noticed any so far... I am sorry to hear that your hobonichi order gave you a headache... the plastic maybe?
Yeah. The plastic. It was very strong.
Yours is beautiful. Your organization is inspiring. I need more pretty things.
Does anyone know when 2016 is released?
Judith Meyer I believe the release is always September 1st, with shipping usually starting around the beginning of October :)
Will you be going with the two A6 sizes again? I like your video as well showing how you use the two books. More coming?
Judith Meyer Mh... I am not sure, things always change for me haha. But I guess I will, because right now I am really liking that system. I will film another "Planning Update" video soon, just have a crazy deadline @ work right now, so I don't have much time :D
Okay. Do what you need to do!
Beautiful! :) I actually did an "unboxing" too today when my MTN arrived! :-D Have an awesome weekend Maria! :)
Loved your unboxing! Can't wait to see you using it. I've consider buying one but I think the cousin it's 2 big for me. I would like to to receive the hobonichi flyer! It's so stinkin cute!!! Will you do a video on how to draw simple things like flowers and so? Thanks x
Love the setup video! So tempting to get a hobonichi but I might just wait until next year
Were did you get the Dashboard of the girl with the cup of tea?
Marlene Raygoza It was a postcard in a german magazine called "harmony" last december. I am sorry, I am afraid there was no mention of the artist or source :(
I don't know why, but I compleatly fell inlove with your card that you put in last in your Hobo A5. (Girl with tea cup) Where can I get a hold of one of them. I can't seem to find any cute cards etc to put in my Hobo here in Sweden. :I Hugs, Daniela
So much fun, and so many fab finds!
toll video :P wo kann man ein hobonichi kaufen in Deutschland? oder ein fauxbonichi...
Dankeschön :) Man muss sie in Japa bestellen (über die offizielle Website). Zum Preis kommt dann also leider noch Kosten für die Post Steuern. Ist es aber total wert!

Thank you so Much!
Does it send from Japan and if it does how long does it take to get here and u got it in March so don't u just wasted all the pages before that
+Lisa Wu Yes, it is shipped from Japan. How long shipping takes is very much dependent on where you live, I am afraid :(
love the video!! looking forward to see your hobo update :)
Ms. Cendolife Thank you so much! :)
What's the material of the cousin cover?
It is cloth :) And the pattern is stiched.
Oh no, sorry, the cousin one is nylon and the cover on cover with the fox pattern is plastic :)

Nice video like usual. I made a vidéo about my hobonichi A6 with the same cover than you. I love it.
thank you for sharing :) it make me want to buy my own so bad, but I just bought myself a midori hahah, I would love one of those flyers tho hehehe
Ah yes, there are so many temptations!! :)
Hello! I would be very interested in receiving your extra yellow flyer from Hobonichi. Thanks so much.
jaa der deutsche zoll fängt sowas immer ab, das ist so nervig -.-
