Hi pen friends! In this video I’m finally sharing my 2026 Hobonichi haul (yes, a little late—but still sooo exciting). I unbox everything I picked up for planning and journaling, and I talk through my “why” for each choice—because for me, the fun isn’t just buying the books, it’s matching the format to how I actually live and write day to day. As a fountain pen girlie, paper matters, so I’m also thinking about what will feel good with my pens and inks all year. I walk you through the pieces in my lineup—like the A5 5-Year Techo (and the undyed leather cover I chose for it), a Weeks Mega with a Bow & Tie cover, an A6 Day-Free, and an A5 Techo with the Tolight: Garden of Botany design. I also share how I’m planning to use each one in real life: what’s for memory keeping, what’s for everyday planning, and what’s for flexible journaling when I don’t want the pressure of dated pages. If you’re deciding on Hobonichi for 2026, this is basically my thought process on camera—so you can copy what works and skip what doesn’t.
