Hi there! This is Nakamai.
Today, I’d love to introduce you to the Hobonichi Frame Stickers! Have you used them before? I just started using them this year, so I’m still a beginner ー but I’m completely hooked now, and excited to tell you what I love about them!



So, what are they exactly? Well, just like the name says, they’re stickers where you can write in the date yourself. They’re perfect for adding to blank pages, like memos or the graph pages in your Day-Free.



Here’s what they look like when you use them. (This is in Day-Free/A5)



Each set even comes with writing samples! Which is super helpful for someone like me who isn’t the best at decorating ー I can just copy the examples and it still turns out cute. That alone makes these feel like a win.



There are 25 different frame designs ー stripes, polka dots, wavy ribbons, and more. You get four of each, so that’s 100 stickers in total! I love peeling them off and sticking them in. It’s just fun.



I like my dates to stand out, so I usually write them in using a fine-tipped sign pen.



As for how I use them ー I have a few planners I use throughout the year. A five-year diary for journaling, the HON (A6) for work notes, Weeks for my reading journal… And this year, I started one more notebook ー something I call my “Goal Notebook.”

It’s where I write out everything I want to achieve this year,　plus the steps I’ll need to take to make it happen. Since it’s not something I update every single day, I chose the Day-Free Book A5 Size for that flexibility. But even then, there are times when I just want to write the date.

One of my big goals for this year is to watch as many classic movies from around the world as I possibly can. So I’ve been using the Frame Stickers to mark the date every time I watch one. So far, I’ve watched “Indiana Jones,” “Jurassic Park,” “Back to the Future”…



And I’ve been loving it. I got so into it that I didn’t stop at just watching them ー I ended up writing my thoughts into mini reviews, putting them together into a book, and even releasing it for sale. Why not do what you love, right?

By the way, I watched “Titanic” for the very first time in 2023. It really moved me, and I wanted to record that moment too. (That movie’s amazing.) (No wonder everyone’s seen it. I get it now.) So I wrote “2023” above the sticker and jotted down my thoughts right there. You can use them that way too!



And you can definitely use more than one on a page.


This year, with these Date Frame Stickers by my side, I want to keep chasing my dreams one by one. I really recommend them.
