Hello, Shiori from the techo team here.

This series of the Hobonichi Techo News is "Why I chose this techo for 2024."

However!

I haven’t even decided yet!

Every year, I use the following four kinds of techos:
-For work
-April-start for journaling
-For exhibits
-5-Year Techo

I always used a Monday-start Original for my work techo, but now that the HON is out, I can’t tell if I want a techo that uses a cover or not.

Since I’m still on the fence about my techo, I’ve started by picking out my stationery. First, I’ve got my usual Plain Notebook with graph paper.



I use this when coming up with project ideas by brainstorming and scribbling in it, but I wanted a small pocket to store things in so I scrapped together a homemade pocket using a sticky note.



There’s no way this is going to stay in here. Guess this isn’t much of a pocket.
I’ll go with an actual cover.



This is Opanchu Usagi (Stationery). It’s PVC and lightweight.





It also has pockets on both the back and the front, so it’s really handy.



You can put all kinds of stationery in here.
I’m going with this one!

I also picked out the Pochitto6 ”Yummy Days” design.

I also got a pencil board with the Love it (Panda) design by Kitamura.



All the pandas playing around with tires are so cute!

Here’s a case I got for my laptop.
It’s the PAMM: Generous Interior Laptop Case.





There’s a pocket on the back that’s really convenient.

But my materialism doesn’t end there!
Next I got the Porter: Mini Wallet - Stroll Jr.



It’s a mini version of the techo cover Stroll.
I knew I wanted one ever since showed me a sample. It looks like a mini wallet, but it also has a tiny notebook inside it, so I’d like to use it to take notes when I’m on trips.

Last but not least is the Mini Banana Hammer DX.



I have no intention of using it as a hammer, but I felt compelled to have it.

So I’ve got my accessories, and now I just need to pick the main item! I think I’ll waffle for a little longer.
