Comparing Hobonichi Weeks Dupes 

OMG yes to having to use stickers instead of writing in thank you for voicing opinions that sometimes I feel guilty for - but they are so valid!!!

Okay I’m loving that Sweet Freckle one! Love the chunkiness and that there’s a notes page for each day 😍 makes so much sense in my brain!

good mindset about the journaling! I've come to a similar mindset about hopping between my planners. (not guilting myself for switching things up when I feel like it) Instead of trying to find planner peace, whatever that might mean, I try to just use what works for my current season in life. Planner needs change a lot over time. Planners are functional, but they are also my hobby so using a lot of them and not worrying about if it is THE best system for me is so freeing and I am having so much fun!

Thank you so much for this video 🙏🏻 That one from Amazon is almost perfect!I’ve ordered myself a grey one 💖

Ahh the nostalgia of the Hallmark calendars 😊 I think they still give them out.

“If I get annoyed at my weeks again” why is that so relatable 🤣🤣🤣

To prevent page markers from frailing i put a tiny bit of clear nail polish on the ends. 🤓

I have watched this so many times. So I’m back again. Want to use a weeks as a symptom/chronic disease health planner. Looking for one that truly lies flat. I don’t mind “coaxing” the pages, but would be really nice to have a lay flat weeks.

I learned about the SFD Weekly Diary after they were unavailable. 😢 It's PERFECT for my self created system. It would completely solve the one issue I have with trying to put monthlies and weeklies in my cut down stalogy and not run out of blank pages before the year is out. Stalking her site!!!

For 2023 I went with Sterling Ink Common planner. It's a B6. A few years ago I was thinking about a Hobonichi Weeks (but not ready to commit) I got an inexpensive set of stencils that included the calendar and the week layout and that worked great. That helped me decide to give Hobonichi Weeks a try. I like to add some decoration and little photos so I hope the B6 size will give me a bit more space but still be portable.

the nod to the old Hallmark calendar lol ... how far we've come !! I can't fill in my own calendars either although the sweet freckled design looks like a possibility to give it another try .

I have the Amazon Weeks and it does fit in the clear cover! 😊

Aura Estelle has a great Weeks-sized planner. It has the weekly layout page followed by one daily page per week.

I love the angel shoppe dupes.

I absolutely love, love, my TAS planner(s). After I received my TAS planner, I went back and ordered 2 more 🤍

It’s a bit bigger, but I’m going to try the dated weekly + memo from Traveler’s Company! Size isn’t a huge deal for me as someone who uses “backpack purses,” thankfully. If you use the clear Keep A Notebook (A5 Slim) covers, you don’t need the added bulk of a leather cover which is nice! It’s a weird nitpick, but I really dislike how the fabric exterior of the Weeks does not like having stickers attached to it. A big part of my journals and planners is always decorating the covers with my fav things from the year. I wish I would have loved the Weeks, but I had similar issues with smearing and I get irked by the ghosting as a gel pen girlie. 😅

What is that stunning brown leather cover please?

Thanks for the content Sam, looking forward to your setup video so I can setup alongside you! :)

Great comparison video Sam! I too have tried them all and am sticking with the original. 😂

I worked like the size without tomor river paper would love stalogy paper

I’m contemplating cutting out the monthlies & weeklies to just have a Hobo sized notebook in my sweet freckled designs. 😅

Can we see that vanderspekk and moterm covers in this video next to each other, beautiful and similar in color looks like

whew that last notebook you showed is very chonky 👀💧 so many ideas to put in that book

What size stalogy was it before it was cut down

First time seeing that Sweet Freckled Design and it's perfect. Hopefully there is another launch next year.

At 7:05 into the video you talk about spending $50 on date stickers for the weeks. I absolutely love those stickers!! Do you remember where you got them?

Please, please tell me how to order your Moterm cover. I’ve just got to have it. ❤️🙏🏼

That is great there’s a shop that cuts down. It is a bit expensive compared to Amazon’s Stalogy prices, but paying for a service is great. TFS. Really thinking about getting an A5 cut to Standard.

Super helpful video!! Thank you! I absolutely Love you brown VDS cover! Would you mind adding the links for the last three dupes (all but Amazon)? I’m definitely considering trying one of them for 2023. 😊

Where is the washi tape on your august spread from?! It’s gorgeous! (Moths)

This was great information!

The last planner was my favorite! What was the name of that one?

Tfs 🙂 Hobinichi weeks is the best, I think, no need to preplan. The best pen to use is the Uniball RTS 0,1. Fast drying, no smearing on tomoe river paper. Highly recommend

Is your stalogy full year or half year?

The Angel Shoppe Planner is undated and it is awesome!

Sam what's the last planner from Hannah?

OMG! I am even more confused on my 2023 lineup. Great info to consider. Are you in Ohio?

I have a never used Rowlf that I bought from Gillio's seconds sale, I think? If you're interested I'd sell it to you. Let me know!

Sam if you are selling your weekly diary from sweet freckled designs I am PayPal ready! Love your videos!

What is the type of paper on the sweet freckle design weeks size? Is it tamoe river
