Hobonichi Stationery Haul

Writing a diary is like a promise for the future. A promise that you’ll note down the good, the bad and the utterly mundane so that you, 10 or 50 years later, can flick through that year of your life, allowing the memories to flood back and envelope you in a warm hug.

It’s a romantic notion for sure but what can I say I am a romantic at heart.

To help me document my 2024, I have invested in the Hobonichi Techo, a diary from a renowned Japanese brand that is both beautiful and versatile, which is exactly what I need as a serial diary buyer who never quite gets into the groove of keeping one for the whole year.
