Hobonichi 2025 Unboxing! FINALLY! Yumi Kitagishi Drawer Pouches A5/A6 Covers Keiko Shibata

Cute haul. I used a Hobonichi Weeks this year. Love the size. Hate the paper. Going with a similar size by another brand in 2025.

I don’t care how many times I see those covers, I just love them. Good point about the heat and the plastic cover on cover. Nice video! You have a very natural way on camera.

You got crispy r's 😂

Very cute haul!

Great video. I love your nail colour. I also love the colourful drawer pouches. I like the idea of seeing what’s inside.

I love the colors of your order❤❤❤! I really wanted the rainbow small drawer pouch( surprisingly- I feel like they’re the most useful size for me), but I held out ordering until they restocked a few items I really wanted and was stuck with the new prices… Even with removing the pouch, all notebooks (2), and a pencil board my order was $57 more than if I had been able to order on launch day. So depressing. I made the same type of chart you did with an area for the percent increase and it was really uneven. The whole thing was really confusing. I really hope I forget about it when I get my package. In the mean time- it’s so much fun to watch everyone open everything.

Thank you for the video! That little box is so cute lol I hope I get a small box like that😊

Those pouches are cute! 💙✂️☀️

As always ❤❤❤❤

Love this ✨ And the spreadsheet was interesting ✔️ (Thank you for not naming the retailer: as you said, Hobonichi sets the prices.) Happy Hobonichi season 📚

Thanks Sarah! I had all the same experiences and just got my order from Hobonichi a few days ago. I had a further snag with cancelling the order that I tried with a local retailer - I phoned after not hearing from them in a few days and found out that the owner was on a European vacation! I did not know about the price change, so thanks for the interesting information!

Love ur haul.! Also Loved ur spreadsheet, I ordered late so I have the updated prices unfortunately, however with the updated Hobonichi prices and adding shipping (without meeting $300 requirements), it come closer to being more equal to US price retailers if we qualify for free shipping from them. Interesting.!

awwwe you got all my favorite covers！ 🎉 i cant get them all cause i only write one journey each year😢 Do u have a recommendation between the yumikita A5 or the A5 cover with a cute pink hugging elephant？ they all too cute！！❤❤

Love to see hauls! So many lovely designs. Thanks for sharing. And glad I'm not the only one freaked out by the booklet - it's creepy!

I ordered the same artist’s covers and pencil boards. The artwork is stunning and fun to enjoy when using my planners. Great haul!

I think Hobonichi is always a little kitsch and I love that they always GO THERE. I totally don't like the orange and yellow normally, but I like it cuz Hobonichi did it and the way they did it. I am totally in love with the pamphlet this year! I love the Techo-man. It didn't occur to me that it looked creepy or scary but a lot of people seem to think so.

Lovely haul 🩷 I have the A6 cover. Where did it say not to use a coc please? I've put mine in one, but i could not see on the Hobonichi site where it said not to? Also I think the pen goes with the sushi bow tie design? Last years went well with the cats bow tie.

I didn't order anything hobonichi but I've been watching a few of my favorite content creators do their unboxings. You're the first one to show the plaid zip drawers. It definitely makes things more fun and organized. You got alot of colorful items. I was thinking to get a pencilboard or two to add more color to my TN and other notebooks. It was really interesting to see the pricing difference. No one has done that and I was defintely very curious about that. It does make a big difference.

How do you order directly from the Hobanechi company directly

Love your colorful haul! I am still patiently waiting. Delivery date is the 19th The drawer pouches and ane are sooooooo cute. And I love that you did a Hobonichi/U.S. retailer comparison. I love JetPens and order something every other month so I did not feel bad canceling my order once I was able to get my Hobonichi direct order in the next day.

Wow, thank you for the calculations! Everything looks adorable. Thank you for sharing.

Great video! I appreciate the $$ comparison sheet at the end. You are awesome 🤩

Will the weeks fit in the larger one?

Ya mine took forever to get here too.

I left the Hobonichi train over two years ago. I tried Wonderland 22, but have securely landed with Sterling Ink’s common planners and notebooks for 2023, 2024, and have already ordered for 2025.

The edging on that elephant cover is called piping and you’re right it is rare to see piping anymore on covers or other items so many times now it’s just sewn to the edge instead of having piping added

Hilarious that I too thought those things at the bottom of the notes pages were animals. So happy to see the other option of dancing girls!

I would like to see all of your purple fountain pens! Thanks for this video!

I love your unboxing video! And the pen, I think it looks fall-ish like pumpkins.

Love your video❤ I buy from a store in my country, just because I don't buy a lot. If I bought more, I would absolute go with the Hobonichi store.

Sounds like even after Hobonichi raised their prices, they were still less expensive than the retailer. Plus, you get the exclusives!

It just hit me that the girl on the elephant cover is embracing the pink elephant in the room. I don't know if a "pink elephant in the room" has the same meaning in Japan as it does in America. But, here that suggests embracing the thing that affects things but no one wants to discuss or even acknowledge. The girl on the cover is embracing/welcoming/acknowledging that thing. Am I overthinking it? 😂

Fun video, though I’m not feeling those covers at all, lol like I swear half the population of the earth is. 😂 I do love the coloured plastic pouches though, now I want them!

The Techo Mask thing reminds me of Dickens. Creepy like A Christmas Carol is creepy.

I love everything you ordered ! Great video
