I’ve come across a few posts of people who combine Traveler’s Notebooks and Hobonichi Planners and I decided to take a crack at it.
This is one of three of my setups for 2027 and I’m loving how it‘s coming together so far!
You can see in the second pic, I sandwiched my Weeks between Traveler’s Notebooks inserts and it’s nice and snug in there with no issues (for me) so far.
Anyone else have a similar setup?
i painted a spread in my a6 to decorate with the new stickers i made! (also going back to using an old cover i love and was missing)
if you're interested in my new stickers you can find them on etsy here!: https://www.etsy.com/shop/hamotzi
photocard on the left just for size comparison, hobonichi did NOT send me an actual kpop photocard. but the photocard collector instinct is hitting HARD and now i want to sleeve these and keep them safe in a binder.
does anyone have other collab ones to share? i’m curious what others may look like (:
This was my first time ordering (and using) Hobonichi and I went through a fair share of back and forth on my decision. From whether the small grid will work for me (I stuck some sample pages in my current journal to try out) to the size A5 vs A6 to whether HON or not and ofcourse the cover. Doesn't help to not have a physical store here to check out all of this in person. Finally made up my mind and the illustrated CoC went out of stock to be restocked on 30th Sep and then on 29th, the freebies went out of stock, which really annoyed me. But somehow I still went ahead with my order on the 30th and I also had a vague intuition that if I order within Sep perhaps there might be some chance of getting the exclusive freebies still.
The order reached today, very pleasantly surprised with how painless and quick it was. And I just opened it to find the freebies inside! Yay! It is a birthday present to me from myself so that makes it even sweeter!
First thoughts, the weeks is so light and compact. And the cousin seems larger than I expected. I know sizes are mentioned upfront but its another thing to see these physically. Those stencils are also way smaller than I thought they would be but i guess they are made to work in an A6 so makes sense.
For those who use any of the large pouches but not for journalling supplies, can I know what you use them for (in any pattern of course)?
Bonus if you share your áne non-journalling supplies use too.
I need to know of other possibilities to figure out if I’m just being obsessive of this pattern (I’m this close to buy the áne and the large - if it restocks)
Just came back from a trip to Japan. Feeling soooo lucky that I found some hello kitty products at a loft in Osaka. I went to the Tobichi store in Kyoto thinking they would have more stock or things but they had absolutely zero items. I didn’t think it would be this hard to find.
Really excited to use the A6 this year for grad school notes, and I am just in love with the tanakadaisuke Starlight weeks <3
My current setup is soo cute, but it’s kind of bulky and it’s a little annoying having to pull the notebooks out of a small opening. Plus, I have to open the pen pouch in a way that pens often spill out, when usually I only want one pen.
I think this new setup is more practical and I’m excited to use the pockets to store stickers and scrap paper!
Had so much fun painting in my techo again! Just practicing, I'm not super happy with the cat silhouette that I used acrylic paint markers for. The paper handled the fountain pen ink well! I made a reel here of the process: https://youtube.com/shorts/GSpMm7vOzes?si=ptdDB225N7L5czvZ
Excited to try out the weeks! I can’t wait until next yearrrrr already
This is the Hobonichi Lucky Swallow!
This is my first haul from hobonichi ever! I bought a bunch of things because I’ve been eyeing the new releases since August.
If you want to see a detailed unboxing, I posted a TikTok. Just a heads up, it’s in Spanish since it's my native language, but you can see the quality of the materials in much more detail there. I'll leave the link in the first comment!
In short, I loved everything I got and it all feels like amazing quality. I honestly might have gone a bit overboard buying all 3 sizes for a single year, but I already have my planner lineup figured out, so I’m not too overwhelmed.
For example:
Weeks: Work and school
A6: Journaling
Cousin: Creative and scrapbooking/junk journaling
I also have a 5-year diary from another brand, and that will basically be my whole system.
I hope I can keep up with it all! Did you guys like it ?
It's all here! I'm reusing some old covers but the collection all together feels very cozy.
i use my cousin as a daily art journal, something to challenge me to be creative on a regular basis. i’ve been struggling and slacking the past few months to make stuff i like but for some reason (maybe the changing seasons, it’s finally getting cold up here) over the last week i’ve been getting back in the groove, so wanted to share!
Like it says in the title, I am buzzing about switching from my “practice weeks” to my real, genuine, beautiful Snufkin Hobonichi Weeks! I’ve had so much fun figuring out the layout for my spreads and getting the groove of daily tarot pulls, I’m just itching to get going on the real thing.
I wish I could show my spreads bc between the pens/markers and ink stamps I’ve been using, I’m actually pleasantly surprised that I have seemingly more artistic ability than I thought. Unfortunately, I fear I would dox myself if I did but maybe I’ll blur some things and post eventually bc I want feedback.
Anyone else just itching to get writing?
(don’t want to cover up the front of my actual weeks so opted for some stickers on the back)
