Unboxing My Stationery Wishlist Haul From Japan!
My wonderful friend, Sandy ( sandysjournals) picked up a bunch of stationery items that were on my wishlist during her recent trip to Japan! I have traveled to Japan a few times and always love visiting, but it was way before I became fully aware of the world of Japanese stationery and involved in the online journaling community.
Sandy generously gifted me some amazing goodies too, like a sold-out, limited brass charm from The Superior Labor in Kurashiki. I still have no words for how much this special gift means to me. 😭 It can be so difficult to make true friends as an adult, so I really treasure our friendship! If you're on the fence about connecting with others in the journaling/stationery community online, take the leap! It can lead you to amazing friendships.
Let me know if you have any questions or if any of these stationery items on your wishlist. 😊
Thanks for watching!

Love ya, friend! <3 This is so sweet. The mount fuji strawberry cookie is also my fav! It's so kawaii hehe. Here's to a future Japan stationery trip together #manifesting lol
Yes, definitely a stationery trip in the future! 🥰 Love ya too, friend!
Would love to know where your friend found the gourd brass tag online.
I'm shocked she was able to get it! No idea where, especially because now it's totally sold out everywhere! 🙈
Omg, how lucky you are!! Here in Mexico this things are even more expensive than in the usa!!!
😩 it really stinks how expensive it is anywhere outside of Japan!
Oh my, that green tea insert is dreamy! I wish they sold more of their products here in the states. 😢
The insert is so nice and unique! I'm a bit hesitant to use it but I'm planning to document different teas that I try. ☺️
I like it, Where did you get it from ?
I ordered it online when it was released, but sadly it's been out of stock everywhere for some time. I believe it will be restocked in the fall!
The studio ghibli pen! Ahhh I love the soot sprites, so cute!
Yes, you do have to match your ink with your pen! 😮❤
Going to my first this august.
Pretty
Congratulations on your new baby! Lovely video! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you! :)
Love that ink combo with your new TWSBI! And I hear you on the TRC stickers lol - I think I need another to hoard too 😂😍 Love your videos!!!
Thanks, friend! Haha I'm definitely going to have to snag another set of those stickers when they restock! 😂
I bought the sterling ink N2 just to put this cover to use! 🤣 but then again I reasoned with myself that the TN size I’m having is too heavy :X
Haha sounds like the same sort of justification I had in my head as well! ;) how are you liking the N2 and the Tragen cover?
@@pleinpages I’m loving it!
What did you think of the ink?!
So far, liking it! ;)
I saw the fountain inks and that brown fountain ink you kept dipping.where did you get that one and it doesn't link like a fountain pen very interested to try one.
I don't usually like Hobonichi's own covers. The plastic look is not my thing and the cartoony art style rubs me the wrong way. There are only two official Hobonichi covers that I've liked. The first one is the liberty fabric you have. If I was in a need of a wallet I would be googling does it exist in an A6, because that would be the perfect wallet size for me. (un)fortunately I do have a good wallet so no need to spend money on that. The second one is the Tragen. The moment I saw it I was obsessed with it. I just planner hopped last week from a weeks to an Hobonichi A6 Hon and the need/want to get a Tragen for it was so strong. Luckily I came to my senses and only bought the A6 Hon. I've given my self permission that If stick with the Hon and want to use it for next year I can buy the cover. Hopefully by then there are more colours. A teal one would be a dream. Thank you so much for sharing your haul. For how popular these seem to be I've not seen many CZcams videos about them. I hope you give some updates on how you have liked using it later on. And as another pet owner I would love to know how much of an annoyance it is with a shedding animal.
Thanks so much for your comment and for watching! I will definitely try to film an update on the Tragen Weeks cover, as you're right that there aren't many videos about the cover!
Great haul!
I really like your Tragen cover. I hope they come out with more color options in the future. I enjoyed seeing your JetPens haul. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching! ☺️ Fingers crossed for more Tragen cover colors soon!!
Why buy specific notebooks for journalling? I've got journal entries dating back over 30 years. I use my filofax and store in folders. Works and am not held to following the rules set by the journal manufacturer!
I think it all comes down to a personal preference! I prefer using bound notebooks for journaling. That is great that you've been using Filofax for journaling. It sounds like a wonderful idea, especially for archiving past entries. I am just not a rings binder person when it comes to writing journal entries :)
1:09 ....that Shaeffer Balance looks like my buddys _Wing Sung 626_ Fountain pen. Cool wow...that looks like a great time...thank you for sharing.
Do you have a mini photo printer that you recommend?
Sorry for the delayed response! I am hoping to do a more detailed video on this since I use a few printers for various reasons. My favorite mini photo printer is the Canon IVY Mini (or the newer version, the IVY 2). I was able to buy them secondhand on marketplace apps, which makes them more affordable!
@@pleinpages thank you!
What do you print your photos with for memory keeping?
I like this!
I hadn’t used my journal in a year so I gave away my stickers, I decided I didn’t want to use them anymore,well I treated myself to a LV pocket agenda and what did I do…bought more stickers, mini ones because this agenda is about the size of pocket calendar. I don’t like the weeks insert so next year I’ll find something that can fit into it that I will use more.
I am not sure if it would help but maybe try a different nib for your Estie? I have an elastic fine and I am in love with it!!
Yes, I'm thinking I'll switch out the nib! ☺️ Oooh an elastic fine nib sounds awesome! I've never heard of that.
@@pleinpages they are fantastic! Elastic in extra fine and fine. Both are amazing!
I bought many washi tapes from Korea in 2023 😅 and omg never thought one would have a jamstudio organizer 😍😍😍😍
New subbie from Ireland ❤❤❤❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤
The day free Hobonichi (I use the cousin a5 for my planner) with a blank Hobonichi journal in the same cover has been working great for me, because I also cannot handle the missed dates. I’m going to get the blank a6 notebook in a cover (already have from years ago) to carry in my purse, because my cousin is WAY too heavy to lug around.
You should try London Gifties if you haven’t already! 😊 I’ve been ordering hers for years along w some other brands.
My TWSBI have all been great n I have 17
Such a tasteful, sweet wee Roterfaden! I too recently received the B6 size (olive) to join my Roter-collection (that includes an A4 and an A5 Slim)-so yes, I’m in some serious taschenbegleiter trouble! With shared interests in Midori, Hobonichi and collecting fountain pens, we clearly have some kindred spirituality going on! 🤜🏼 🤛🏼. Thanks for this informed and well-conceived video-with more, I hope, to come, please and thank you.
Thanks so much! ☺️
Just received my B6 Roterfaden and very happy with it. I ordered the smoke blue/honey combo.
Take a look at Wonderland 222 planners.
You an also change the nib!
Did you know you can return scratchy pens or send them to a nib moister to tune them up..?
2023 was the year I went overboard in purchasing stationary items. I bought too many washi's and other supplies. 2024 will be a no buy/low buy year, as far as stationary. I want to use what I have. I do not plan on purchasing another Traveler's Limited Edition Notebook, as I bought the Diner edition and have yet to use it. I have two favorite purchases which are customizing my Traveler's Notebook with Baum Kuchen and I gifted myself a Nanala Designs Traveler's Notebook Cover and Nanala Fountain Pen Case, for my 3 year breast cancerversary. I love Nanala's craftsmanship.
Thanks for sharing! ☺️ 2024 is also the year I want to use what I have and limit my purchases. I've never heard of Nanala Designs, will have to look them up.
I just found your channel and subscribed
Thanks! ☺️
For your Esterbrook Botanical Garden pen it sounds like you need to get the nib smoothed out. Have you tried mylar mesh to see if that will help?
I've never tried that but have heard about it! I'll have to consider ordering some and trying that out too ☺️
Meanwhile, I like almost all of your stickii club stickers and I dislike all my PET tapes-I *WANT* to like them, I just don’t. 😅
Great video! So helpful.I have def made some bad purchases on my end lol :P
We live and we learn! And that's why we have friends to help us too hehe :) just trying to get better at making better purchases I know I'll be satisfied with long-term.
@@pleinpages so true!
I purchased the Esterbrook in a scribo nib too, it was so scratchy! I took it to Kirk Speer at Pen Realm, he worked on it and now it’s awesome!
Hmm maybe this nib type is just scratchy in general! I'll have to consider getting it tuned a bit if I still continue to find it unbearable to write with.
@@pleinpages It feels scratchy because it's a very specialized nib grind - it has sharp edges, kind of like an italic nib but with the sharpness at the vertical "points" of the nib instead of at the side edges of the nib. That's how it writes such a broad cross stroke with a very fine down stroke. I have some cursive italic nibs from Franklin Christoph, ground for them by Mike Masuyama and Yukio Nagahara. They write broad down strokes with narrow cross strokes, but the edges are a bit rounded rather than sharp/crisp - and they still took a lot of getting used to before I could consistently write comfortably with them, and now I adore them. I also love Franklin Christoph's SIG (stub italic gradient) nibs. They are fantastic - they still took getting used to, but not as much so as the cursive italic nibs. Good luck! With that #6 Jowo nib unit, the world is your oyster as far as replacement nibs, because any of them should fit your pen regardless of who is selling them, grinding them, or whose brand is etched onto them.
@@arguchik thanks! I've actually been eyeing the Franklin Cristoph cursive italic nibs, may have to try one! ☺️
With regards to the FWP ink, if you enjoy the base color but not the shimmer aspect of it, I recommend filling from the bottle without pre-shaking or agitating it beforehand so you don't get any of the shimmer in your pen!
This is a great tip! Thanks! ☺️ I actually do like the green color of the ink, so will definitely try to use it without shaking/agitating it so I don't get any shimmer.
@@pleinpages No problem! I have been doing the same thing with my Tokyo Bay Blue and absolutely loving it. It would be a shame to let it go to waste just because, like you, I'm not a big fan of shimmers either 😆
I got an Estie with an EF nib and decided I wanted a bigger nib, so I just bought a replacement nib unit. They're something like $25-30 and totally worth it for such a beautiful pen (I also got the botanical gardens pen and lurve it).
Yes, I may eventually decide to get a replacement nib. I'm just a bit disappointed because I spent a lot on the custom nib grind, so it's just a shame I don't love it. 😔 Going to keep using it with different inks, otherwise I'll consider a new nib!
@@pleinpages totally get that! I hope another ink helps!
what printer do you use to print out your photos that you put in your A6?
I have a few mini printers that I use, but mainly for my A6 journal I use the Canon Ivy 2 Mini printer. It's convenient, quick, and I like that it prints on ZINK sticker paper. Images last and don't fade.
Thanks for the reply!@@pleinpages
Not sure I am ready to separate my 2023 purchases into best and worst but one thing I disliked in 2023 was buying too much. I came to realize that if I have too much stationary, I find it cumbersome, overwhelming…. So for 2024 my goal is to use up what I have before buying new things…
I hear you, same here! I bought too many inks, too many fountain pens, too much ephemeral. That‘s why I decided to challenge myself to do a no-spend to see how far I get. It’s been rougher than I thought it would be! I‘m still on track, but have countless tabs open and I‘ve been cruising websites.
I totally agree! 2022 to early 2023 I went a bit crazy with the purchases, which definitely made me less motivated to journal/use stationery. Going forward, I'm just using what I have and limiting any new purchases.
Same here. I could start my own shop with all the stuff I bought last year. I don’t know what I was thinking! This year will be a no spend for sure 👍🏻
The design of your Esterbrook reminds me of a Ranga Pen. I dont know if you have particular country preferences to buy your pens but Ranga Pens is one of the most well known India based fountain pen brands. Peyton Street Pens also carries their acrylic pens if you want to take a look. Theyve got an acrylic with the exact colorway of your Esterbrook.
I've never heard of those brands but I'll definitely look into them! Thanks! ☺️
Enjoyed your video! Thought I would share that you can easily switch your nib on you twisbi min! You can purchase your preferred size and it’s super easy to switch it up , I watched a CZcams video to guide me. Any twisbi diamond 580 has the ability to interchange nibs.
Thanks! I remember considering this and I think the replacement nibs for the rose gold mini was a bit too pricey to justify it. That, or they didn't come in the rose gold. I can't remember! But I will look into this again, because it is a great idea.
You can get a replacement nib from Esterbrook for $30 or just a standard Jowo #6 nib unit for that Esterbrook. Should twist right out.
Yes I was thinking I should do that! It's definitely an option. I'm just disappointed because I did pay a bit more for a custom nib grind, so it's just a shame. I gotta keep writing with it and see if I change my mind on it!
pen rave :' )
I love my Roterfadens! I have them in A5 but definitely want to get a B6! Your cover is beautiful!
Thanks! The B6 size is so nice, I love how compact yet spacious it is. Although, I am still tempted to also buy an A5 Roterfaden. You can never have too many cover sizes, right? haha 😁
