Midori Hibino 2024: unboxing, first impressions & plans 

Thank you!! ❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼

Haha that's so amazing!

Hahahaha i totally did that! And had to say bye to it when i left home 😆😆😆

@@essikaroliina I would too! I’m excited to see how you use it!

I love it so much too! I won't start planning into it until the monthlies start in december. I'm more of a day by day planner haha! Can't wait to start though 😍

Did you notice any differences between the 2023 and 2024 version? I just got my 2024 and noticed the cover is much thinner/bendy than last years, is that the same for you?

YAY!! i hope you'll enjoy it!

Yayyy! So exciting!! And yesss ahh it smells so good 😄😄😄

And it is!! 😍😍

I'm new to A6 also. It's gonna be interesting!

Last year was the first year the Hibino came out. Maybe they printed just a small amount to try out if they'll be a success or not - i don't know for sure! They might have a larger batch this year, i would definitely assume so... but again, not sure 👀 There are definitely more affordable and good planners around. It really depends on your needs and what you like. And definitely i dont recommend spending the money on it if you aren't 100% sure you want exactly this one! 😊

@@essikaroliina Thank you for your help! I've often seen Hobonichi and Midori as being pinacles of plannery. But the Hibino really hits what I need, I like the 24-hour outline, and grided sections for bullet journal-esque things, or journaling, or whatnot. But I also love the fact that there isn't anything else fluffing up the journal itself. Might be something I have a think about, at least wait a week to see if I'm still interested and make sure it's not an ADHD hyperfixation haha. Thank you again!

If it's your first time using physical planners and the cost of this is an issue, you could also look at the MD 1 day 1 page diary in A6. It's the same size and has a few similar features, minimal design/no fluff, timeline, and monthly layout. The daily pages are undated though and it's only one page per day instead of two (might be easier if you're just getting into journaling, but also may be a con). There's no grid either. However, it may also be a cheaper alternative for you (but I'm not sure about Australia prices) 😊 hopefully that helps!

Unfortunately no i cannot, i am based in Finland so i don't know any US stores :)

I am in USA. Yoseka Stationery is taking preorders now. I ordered mine directly from Amazon Japan to delivery in USA

@@2tinytreasures Thanks for the info!
