I started collecting pens this year. My goal was to always have a smaller collection of pens. No more than 10. But now that I have tried pens, some sold, some returned. I only want 4 fountain pens. 5 tops. And these 4 I have spent considerably more on but I feel comfortable doing so. I've also done the same thing with planners and journals. Just using 2 Plotters. Quality over quantity. Everything is more streamlined and minimal. I love it. It is too easy to go down that rabbit hole with stationery or any other hobbies. I have to set parameters for myself.

I own the Porter stroll (navy) and the small one (light blue) and I put my A6 HON together with my TN weekly insert. I’m glad that I got this as I don’t like the POTR branding. I also have a plotter mini & my friend had the mini 5 & bible & the mini 5 & mini will fit. You can probably get the A5 Porter to fit the Bible but not the A5 size; hope that makes sense. I will be getting the Taut cafe au lait plaid as that is leather. Also, if you’re interested in any Mina Perhonen designs & you want leather, you can only get the Mina piece (A6, weeks, A5) & the 5yr version (A6 & A5) because the rest uses PU. Also, Tsuchiya Kaban is gone for 2025 (you can see how they look like in 2024 backwards).

Ah, for this year, I have a reallly over the top order list. But the ones I'm most worried about selling out is the A5 Yumi, the Weeks Yumi pencil board, the A6 Herringbone and the Hiroko Kubota weeks (I'm going to Japan for my honeymoon in 2025 and it feels so on theme)... I also really love the Alettone line, especially for travel and heavy duty days, as well as work meetings - they seem so versatile and the colors are fantastic!

Wait, there are hobonichi socks?! Awesome!

The A5 Kagome Lattice Crest is nice. But I will not buy! The interior is PU and in no time, it will turn bad. It is so painful to see it rotting away! I am experiencing it now with the older ones made in PU.

I was very looking forward to the trifold leather cover this year because I love last year's silent night. The charcoal grey really underwhelms me this year though. I also happen to want the Cafe au Lait Plaid! 😆I am eyeing the A5 one since most of my A5 covers feel a bit loose or bulky, I am very curious about the snug feel of this one. (And its outside material is wool to boot.) For the weeks I might get Through the Purple Night because I want the pencil board that comes with it. I also love the leather one in Pomegranate.

I think they do have that liberty fabrics in the weeks.

I'm leaning towards day free A6, from Hobobichi, I allowed my journalling to take as many pages as I needed, rather than diary style... Love my stappo, might get a mini stappo. (other accessories caught my eye) I was going to (might still) get a TN horizontal weekly for meal planning. But now I am thinking I might do weeks... (Oh the shopping for weeks accessories.)

Wow!! Crazy how that just happened right as you opened it. It's always such a disappointment when you get a faulty pen. I hope that everything will work out! Thanks for this collection video. While watching this I can remember when you got some of those pens and I'm like, "I was there!!" lol

My front runner is Mina’s Tambourine Jellybean (Weeks) something “Michelle” by Liberty Fabrics 😉 something from Paddington, and some of the new pencil boards 🤷🏼‍♀️ Great video ✨

The Snake Toy A6 is my fav! I'm thinking I'll pair that with the Star Dust Weeks for next year.

I’m totally in love with the taut zipped café au lait too!! It’s the drop that has me most excited this year. I also HAVE to go for the Pistachio Weeks Mega since I realized it’s so similar to brat green🤩😭 (as in, Charli XCX!!)

I'm totally into Paddington Bear!! So I choose the WEEKS with Paddington!! ❤

Do you know when they launch the drawer pouches?

Yayyy I always love your yearly Hobonichi previews! 🥰 They really sprung the POTR and Cafe au Lait plaid zippered covers on us! I just checked and the product page for the Cafe au Lait lists the interior as cow leather (!), which paired with the plaid textile on the outside is a gorgeous combination. I love that it's a slimmer profile than the usual zipper cases, and totally agree with you that it should be a weeks cover -- I'd be sold! I also thought the Liberty Fabrics weeks was so lovely. I've been going back and forth on my options like a dozen times since the full reveal 😂but I've been really drawn to the sleekness and functionality of the POTR, especially now that they're available internationally. Can't help loving the Yumi Kitagishi Travel Journal cover, too! Ahhh so many possibilities!

Thanks for this helpful video! My wish includes Kubota Crescent Moon Delivery A6 Hon, Kitagishi Beautiful Wallpaper Weeks, and three possibilities for A5: Kitagishi Letter, Unsodo Ferry, or the Taut Brown.

Cafe au lait: kah fay oh lay

I LOVE the Cafe Au Lait cover as well, but it's out of my price range, as I use multiple books and need to spread my funds a little bit. My top picks right now are: Twill A5 for journaling, Purple Through the Night weeks (the illustrations are not from an anime, but are based on a music album and its lyrical stories) which is going to be my EDC and the Harvest Plaid weeks for work. I also have my eye on the Tragen Weeks and a regular sized Stappo. There's some other products that are catching my eye (especially seeing other people's perspectives on them) so who know what I might end up getting!

Through the purple night weeks cover is based on artwork done by Masamune Kaido and Junaida for Himitsu stranger, a music album. But it’s not anime related.

“Don’t have any cold feet. Get the socks.” 😊 ❤ 🧦 I whole heartedly agree!!!

you know whats sad? No makino covers this year...i was not a big fan but i always saw everyone happy to get them, so im kinda sad about it.

Hii! I love that they got rid of the lottery for the Mina Perhonen covers, even though I probably won't be getting them This year was quite good. I still remember feeling a bit "let down" about the 2024 lineup. Maybe it was just me, ha!

I love bunnies, and think the Mina bunny ears one is really cute. I always seem to like the colors in the A6 more, and love the colors in the A6. Here is my concern. They call the fabric linen. Is it? I ordered Symphony last year and the fabric feels like polyester. I have a Mina cover for my 5 year and the fabric is a cotton/linen, which I love. I just was so disappointed last year and don’t like the feel of the fabric. I also am wondering about the Tambourine for this year.

The Minä Perhonen Pieces is no longer a lottery item! I wonder how fast they sell out.

I must confess that I'm yet to try any Hobonichi product :( But am really keen to begin, so many thanks for showing this. You are dangerous Tiffany! You have me wanting a Plotter and now a Hobonichi of some sorts! :))

I love the Beautiful Wallpaper weeks, too! Also the Lemon Water and Sweet Purple. That said, I’m normally a spring planner person, so I’ll wait and also see what theme Traveler’s puts out this year. The BW and LW weeks are very tempting, though.

I always look forward to your Hobonichi preview ❣️✨

Is anyone else getting the 2024 lineup when they click on the 2025 8/23 full lineup link on their site?

No more lottery. All of the piece covers and the Arts&Science covers are available at launch.

I'm sad they dont have Makino, but maybe they are planning it for a spring release or something. Right now i plan to get the Liberty Fabrics Weeks, the 2024 Hollyhock hobonichi cover , and the Liberty Decadent Blooms Ańe drawer pouch - also from a previous lineup but they still have it. Thats something they also didnt update, their drawer pouch line, but apparently they usually do so for spring?? Ive been curious anout these drawer pouches for a while

I'm sad that they did not use the same quote "Have a nice day". The new quote seems sad to me...maybe that is just me. I don't want to have to explain that at work. Too bad because I love the A5 color this year. I believe the item I want most is the A6 Herringbone. Would love the Potr, not sure yet but super excited that we have that option now. I will just live vicariously through you if you get the gorgeous Taut Zipped Cafe.

Do unsharpened Blackwings fit in the roll?

Hello! I love your set up , it's so beautiful! I had to let you know that I recently ordered 68 gsm TRP from GoodInkInpressions. They come pre-cut and hole-punched and you can choose from blank pages to dots, squares or lines, and yes, they come in the Cream. The company is located in Spain and I can recommend them warmly.

Loved this video and your collection. I'm just starting out going down this rabbit hole of fountain pens. What would you recommend for someone who is just starting out? Edited to add: just starting out but I don't want to spend a lot of money trying to figure out what I like. Just some recommendations on a few good, reliable, writers.

Beautiful! I just LOVE the 1911! It’s so underrated and I really wish Sailor would make more color ways for the 1911S & L….and show as much love to the model like they do with PG and PGS. I myself prefer the 1911L because I have really long fingers but love the S size as well. Happy writing!! You truly can’t go wrong with any sailor❤❤❤

Wow that is gorgeous!

Love the design. That is the pen holder that ive been looking for.

Beautiful pen! I’m definitely a Pilot girl but this Sailor is nice. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for sharing your collection.

Beautiful pen. Thanks for sharing

Congratulations on getting a Sailor 1911. My Profit Standard (1911) also had an MF nib. Prices of both Sailor and Pilot will rise in the future, so it's better to buy one sooner rather than later. Sailor will no longer be gold plated and will be changed to gold ion plating. With the price of gold rising, this will likely be a move towards reducing gold consumption as much as possible.🙂

Sailor! Yes!! Always loved them - this one is beautiful; great choice indeed :) The little writing sample was wonderful - the nib sound along with your handwriting skills = splendidness! :) Thanks for showing this Tiffany.

I don't have this one yet, thanks for sharing

Hey Tiffany . I was just writing with the Platinum version of that pen. They look just alike. I had to re-check my band and make sure I didn't have a Sailor. 💜

Hi Tiffany - new to your channel. Great collection - you clearly know and love your fountain pens! I’m just starting my own collection and learning as I go.

10:19 I just watched their like ten year old video of how they make their bags and I was surprised when he did just a small coat of paint to do the logo stencil. I thought the same thing…. That they left it quite faded looking I don’t hate it though lol

Yes please, a Twsbi diamond mini black with gold or rose gold hardware, pls! Lovely collection!

25:05 your leather is coloring black from the black yarn in this pouch

For the vintage Parker, pay a visit to Fountain Pen Hospital, and Anderson Pens. The hardening mechanism might need some lubrication. Good luck. Just avoid bladder mechanisms to avoid the hassles, Parker uses the same converters between vintage & modern fountain pens.

I literally gasped on the broken feed. 😮 Beautiful collection! ❤
