Hi! The fountain pens I used in this video are Benu fountain pens. The blue/white pen is the Goldspot exclusive "Ice and Snow" pen. The purple/blue pen is the Benu Grand Scepter. Benu makes fabulous sparkly pens and I love them all!

Oh no! The funny thing is, I deeply regret not getting the One Piece Hon! Hobonichi has a way of offering too many cute options - there are always a few things I wish I had gotten, too. The good thing is, there is always the next release to look forward to! I hope your Hon is bringing a ton of joy 💙

@@inkandstarstuff i'm loving it so far, i can't read the japanese but the cute pics really make me want to use it. i'm hoping to stop by the hobonichi store in tokyo next time i'm in japan and maybe they'll still have some of the accessories from the last release.

Ooh! A trip to the Hobonichi store is definitely in order! I hope they have everything you're looking for (and more!)

Ooh! This is an excellent idea! I would love a way to store washi in this cover. I've seen the King Jim Kitta washi folders before - something like that would be great, but with longer strips. I will need to test this out. Thank you for the suggestion, and thanks for watching 💙✨️

Thank you so much! I will happily do a pen-focused video, and I'm more than happy to show these gorgeous Benu pens in detail. Love this idea! 🤩

Thank you so much for watching! 💛✨️

It is stunning in person and incredibly luscious to write with! I'm having a lot of fun with this ink 💜✨️ Have you had a chance to test it out?

Yes! I love it, too. I like that it both divides the notebook into even sections, and that it gives a feeling of accomplishment when a section is completed 😊

Thank you! I'm excited to use them all! ✨

Thank you so much! And thanks for watching 💛✨

Not a controversial opinion at all - the back of the Tokyo Metronome cover is very sweet, and I adore the two animal characters sitting at the piano. It is such a lovely, whimsical design. Thank you for watching! 💛✨

Aww, thank you! I have massive respect for audio book narrators, so this is a huge compliment! And ooh! I'm so happy to hear you'll be using your Hobonichi as a writing notebook. They are lovely to write in and they're a great tool in which to compile ideas. I plan to share more writing notebook tips in future videos 😊. Do you write your drafts by hand, or will your journal be for idea gathering only?

⁠​⁠@@inkandstarstuffI plan on just gathering ideas only but maybe I should switch to long band drafting…I get sucked into the black hole of RUclips when I’m on my computer! 😂

@@InkwellandOak I also get sucked into the black hole of the internet when I write on my computer (RUclips sometimes, but mostly when I have the urgent need to look something up right away and it can't wait... but it really CAN wait haha)! I like having my notebook as a place to write when I'm stuck, or when I need to unplug completely 😂

I'm sorry to hear you haven't been feeling well! I hope you feel better soon, and hope your unboxing brings lots of joy! Which designs did you choose this year?

Oh no! I'm sorry to hear your order is so delayed! It is very strange, and I hope they send it to you much sooner. The covers you chose are wonderful - I didn't get the Hon version but I wish I had! The pattern is so cool 💙

Did you order the little gifts cover too? There's a note that it won ship until December, they may be holding whole order to ship all at once

I ordered One Piece stuff and got that same December email. I also ordered the little gifts cover, so I think that is the reason. Kind of bummed.

@@carolinasandoval3817 I was bummed too, but I've decided to view it as an extra Christmas gift !

Thank you so much! And thanks for watching 💛✨️

Thank you so much! Ooh, I love your idea of using your A6 as a spiritual journal! The design of the cover on cover and the dark background of the Hobonichi cover is so lovely together, and is very much like the night sky. So perfect! 💛✨️

YES! It is SO CUTE! I immediately fell in love with the color and design, and was so happy to see that it is even more stunning in person! Can't wait to have this A5 on my desk all year - it will create instant joy whenever I look at it! Please let me know if you do get the purple Luffy cover - I'd love to hear how you like it!

Thank you! I do plan to keep using the A6 dog cover without the plastic cover-on-cover. I tested it out and it does fit (snugly) but I love the feel of the fabric so much on its own and would prefer to use the A6 without the COC! I will probably use the protective cover when I take the A6 journal on extended trips - I am too prone to spilling things and don't want to ruin the beautiful fabric!

Thank you so much! I hope your order arrives soon - all the Hobonichi designs are stunning in person! Which items are you most excited about this year? 💛

@@inkandstarstuff My order should arrive on Tuesday 🤞🏼 I waited for the October release because I wanted some One Piece items. We got a few of the same things 😃 Luckily they restocked the "Dog" cover in October. I was able to order one and am looking forward seeing it the most. I will probably only put a COC if I need to travel with it like you mentioned in your other video! Thank you for sharing your hauls!

@@geralyng Oh, yay! Excited for your order to arrive! The dog cover is one of my absolute favorites - I hope you love yours, too!

Oh yay! So happy to hear you adore your One Piece planners and boards! They are so delightful! Which planners did you choose?

Hi! I am in the US in the Pacific Northwest. I placed the order at 11AM Japan time on Oct 1 and qualified for "free shipping" for $250+ orders. My order arrived here on Oct 4 - so quickly! I'm thrilled (and pleasantly surprised) with how fast it arrived :)

@@inkandstarstuff Awesome! I placed my orders through a retailer here in the Philippines so that means she'll most likely receive them within the week as well, if she managed to place the orders on day 1. Really excited for the One Piece HON too

Oooh! I hope your order arrives soon! The One Piece HON design is stunning. I love this year's design so much! 😍

Thank you so much for watching! 💛✨

😊@@inkandstarstuff

Yes! I was also surprised at how quickly this order arrived. The logbook is GORGEOUS! I debated getting the A5 instead - it is such a luscious cover! I hope yours brings lots of joy 💛 The A6 Hon was on my wish list, too - the design is so lovey. Can't wait for your haul to arrive! 💛✨

Thank you so much! I adore all the new covers from Hobonichi this year. So excited to use these One Piece covers!💛✨

Thank you! 💛✨

Aww, thank you so much! 💛✨️

Thank you so much! The mosaic one is gorgeous in person - those colors really do come alive against the paper. And yes, my friend is very dear to me. I appreciate her so much!💛

Thank you so much! And a massive thank-you for subscribing! I will be posting more Hobonichi videos soon 💛✨

Thank you so much for watching, and an extra big thank-you for subscribing! I'll be posting more Hobonichi videos soon, including how I set up my notebooks and my favorite pens and inks to use on Tomoe River paper :)

Yes! The Aurora Duty was one of my favorite new designs for last year, and I promptly sought out the notepad and the weeks in the 2023 lineup. When I saw they were using the Aurora Duty art for pouches, I couldn't resist! They are so sweet. I hope you get one of the Aurora Duty pouches, too! They definitely bring joy :)

Oh, this is such a huge compliment! Thank you! 💛✨️

Thank you! I adore the dog cover - it caught my eye immediately, and I'm so happy with the quality and feel of this cover. Which is your favorite new cover release this year?

@@inkandstarstuff I can imagine, I read that that quality of the textile is really great. I must say I love Hiroko Kubota’s art and all things with animals too! I would say this Weeks of hers is the most beautiful design of 2024! 😊

@@LiviaTavNaether Yes! I adore the new art design for this year's weeks! The sparkles, the cat, and fox totally captured my heart. I'm so excited to use it! I really hope they bring the same design back next year as a pencil board, a cover, or a drawer case. It is just too cute!

@@inkandstarstuff yes, it is jut too lovely! The fox and the cat are just adorable. It is a joy to look at it! I wish you lot of good plans to write in it! ☺️

Thank you so much! I can't wait to start using everything. Do you have a favorite Hobonichi journal/cover that you use?

Thank you so much! I love using the A5 as a letter-writing case. It is easy to transport, and the little pockets are perfect for holding stickers and such to put on the envelopes. This way I'm not searching for stamps, etc! And I'm looking forward to loading up the Stappo bag - it seems like the perfect size to carry around :)

There are so many great things to choose from! It is hard to narrow it down, for sure. Which items do you have your eye on? Everything I've gotten from Hobonichi has been top-quality. I'm always excited to see their new releases!

@@inkandstarstuff well, now I’m adding the aurora stuff into the mix 😆😩

The Aurora design is absolutely charming! I adore the colors and the sweet little polar bears, too :)

The drawer pouches are wonderful! I was so excited when I saw them on the website. There were so many gorgeous options, and I fell in love with this design immediately! I'm contemplating getting more because I know I will fill these ones up pretty quickly. Which designs did you choose?

Thank you for watching! It was fun to unbox everything :)
