Okay, I’m less than 2 minutes into this video and I’ve already liked it and subscribed because of your story about being scared to start your channel and now you’re describing your hated of the sun and I think you’ve just become my favourite journaling channel on RUclips.
Really enjoyed watching your first two videos! Your voice is very nice to listen to and I love a little hyperfocus talking about hobonichi and journalling! Looking forward to the other videos and also the ones who are hopefully keep coming :) thank you for being here and making these videos 🫶
Love your videos, the chill vibes have been perfect to get my own planning done! The little bag could be a fun little pencil holder while you sit down to plan. You could pull the pens and stuff you want and then when you're not using it it can fold up and be put away!
I have string cats! Bathrobe ties omg. I love that you’re getting a cover to use for years 😊 and I’m glad you decided to make videos despite a person raining on your parade! I like your vibes and you like planning and cats and I’m hooked 🙃 can’t wait to see your future videos 📼
I got the cat cover too! It’s so pretty and it matches my black cat 😍 I’m hoping that it fits other A5 notebooks and maybe even smaller paperbacks as well, so I can get even more use out of it. Thanks for the lovely video (even though I’m a bit late to the party) - you’re so relatable!
Omg you have a black cat!! Love them so much 🥺 oooh I’d never thought of putting a paperback in there - I bet that would work for smaller ones! Thanks so much for the kind words 🥰
Your nails are 🤌🏻 also love the ring! And i adore the package from the cousin - that tone of yellow is my fav yellow (also i always get confused for a sec when somebody starts saying my cousing, it takes me a while to understand they're talking about a notebook) AND THE COVER IS PERFECTION
Hey :) I now always intercept FedEx asap on tracking early on and divert it to a pick up shop! So much easier for me personally!! I love your channel. Also not sure if you live in Newcastle but I know Olive and Bean you mentioned in the other video - I’m not based in Newcastle but I’m there most days :) anyhoo hope you’re doing well and look forward to more videos! Also idk if you’re a jellycat fan but my bag is now a shopping bag for a Teddy that is filled with tangles lol.
Ohhhh great tip! I always do that for other carriers so I don't know why it didn't occur to me for FedEx 😅 Alas I'm not Newcastle based but I'm there a fair bit seeing friends (and of course getting cake at Olive and Bean)! Thank you for the kind words and the bag usage suggestion... I don't have any Jellycats right now but a ton of people keep mentioning them in different contexts so I feel like I'm missing out 😅
Thank you so much! Chonking it up is the best part of journalling 😌 and thank you!!! I love the salon I've found, after not really being a "nails person" for years, I definitely am now haha
I'm brand new to hobonichi and loving your two vids so far :) I watch a lot of planning vids and its nice to find another Brit doing vids because my subscriptions are full of Aus and US accents =) I only ordered mine this week so living vicariously through others unboxing
@@ellesbooks A weeks and some accessories like a pen board and push stamps. Never seen any of the products IRL but wanted to make shipping worth it lol!
I would describe the colour of this year’s pen as bread mould 😂 I am so intrigued by your common placing that I think I will do it as well. Does that mean I need yet another cousin? 🤔🤣 you’re a great addition to the RUclips community.
Thanks for your video! Your commentary was really fun, and I love the cover you chose. Of course I did, haha, because I am also tempted by it, and every time I watch someone's video about it I become more tempted. So of course I then seek out more videos about it! LOL. Anyway, I think the exterior of this cover is made of natural linen fabric, i.e. it's the color that linen is when it's not bleached or dyed. Their listing doesn't specify this, that's just what it looks like to me. The color of natural undyed linen does vary from batch to batch. In my experience, sometimes it's a lighter beige/taupe and sometimes it's more of a cooler gray. The inside of the cover is not made from cow leather, though - it's made of polyurethane or PU. As far as I know, the only Mina Perhonen covers that are made with natural leather inside are the Piece covers sold via lottery. The Mina Perhonen zip covers also have PU inside, but in a frustrating decision for vegans, the zipper pulls are made from cow leather. (I'm not a vegan, but I sympathize with that frustration. I've heard it from many vegan Hobonichi fans.) Anyway, thanks again for your video! I really enjoyed it and I have subscribed to your channel. :) Your nails look lovely. Enjoy your 2024 Hobonichi!
Thank you so much for the kind words, and for the information about the cover materials! Not to be a bad influence, but… the one I bought is working out really well so far 😇😂
The cat cover!!!! I'm still doubting if I want to get it, because I'm not a huge fan of the beige/nude inside. But I do love the outside! I'll think about it and if it's still available with the Spring release and I want it, then I'll get it
It gets even funnier/more awkward when start referring to it as your Hobo Cousin. 😂
You're not wrong 🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Thank you so much! It's an honour to have such a talented creator commenting such kind things 🥰 Looking forward to keeping up with your videos, too!
That canvas bag is just the right size for a tabletop trash container, for collecting the backs of stickers and off-cuts of washi tape, and the like.
Ooooh, that's a great idea! Normally I just dump my scraps in empty tea mugs, this is a much better solution 😅
Love your videos, the chill vibes have been perfect to get my own planning done! The little bag could be a fun little pencil holder while you sit down to plan. You could pull the pens and stuff you want and then when you're not using it it can fold up and be put away!
Thank you so much for the kind words 🥰 Ooooh, that's a great idea! I'm always misplacing my pens 😅
I literally ordered my cousin while watching this ❤ I am getting it for the first time and am over the moon excited for it
Omg!! That's so exciting!! I hope it brings you a ton of joy 🥰
So exciting to see everyone's hauls on YT! Thanks for sharing, Ellie :)

Oh, the bathrobe ties... why are they like this 😅 thank you so much for the kind words!! I'm super glad I started the channel too 🥰

You have a really nice voice, I am not a native speaker and I can understand almost everything quite well
Thank you so much! I'm glad to hear that :)

Thank you so much! That's so exciting about your order - what did you get? 😄

@@rootedreinvention ooooh all very exciting! I used to have a weeks book and they’re beautiful!
Love seeing what everyone else chose! Woo!🎉
It’s such a fun time of year when everyone receives their packages 😄
That cover is so cute! I love the colours :')
It really is!! As soon as they revealed it I was like... Yeah that one's for me 😅
I would describe the colour of this year’s pen as bread mould 😂 I am so intrigued by your common placing that I think I will do it as well. Does that mean I need yet another cousin? 🤔🤣 you’re a great addition to the RUclips community.
You're not wrong, to be fair 🤣 And not to be a bad influence, but... Can you ever have too many cousins? 😏 Thank you so much!

You go, girl! Don't listen to the naysayers. They were wrong, of course! Glad your box contents arrived safely.
Thank you so much!! Glad to have proved them wrong 💪🏻
Second video. Yay! 👏👏👏👏👏
😄 Third one coming later today!!
"anyway, you don't care about that" - yes we dooooo!!
🥺🥺🥺 you’re too kind!
Nice haul!
Thank you 😊

It's SO nice on the outside! Totally fair to wait, though. It would be great if they had alterntative inside colours, imagine a black version 😍
@@ellesbooks I would loveeeee a black or even gray inside!😱
@ProtectYourName oh grey would look so good!!!
