Review: Pin Note, trading card holder x notebook by Iroha Publishing

It's another purchase from Bungu Joshi!

This is the Pin Note by Iroha publishing, a notebook with a trading card holder. 

I picked up the an A6 sized Pin note that was a Bungu Joshi exclusive. 

There is also an A5 version. 

The notebook includes a hard plastic sleeve as a cover, a design sheet in between the cover and the notepaper (this is the exclusive design for Bungu Joshi), 56 sheets of 3mm grid notepaper, 2 plastic pockets at the back of the notebook and a plastic film for you to decorate. 

The hard plastic sleeve cover fits a photocard or 2 and protects it well! 

I also like the special design backing sheet. 

If you have a small acrylic stand, that will fit as well! 

Binding wise, it's a typical wire binding. Unfortunately this means you can remove pages but not add to it. 

The paper is a 3mm grid, perfectly usable for everyday notetaking. 

Overall, if you're wanting to customise your notebook cover, the pin note is what you're looking for.

Review: DAISO High End Design Knife

I have always been one that used the conventional mini blade cutters [like a box cutter] for paper crafts. However with my recent interest in making miniatures, I decided it might be time to purchase a pen like version.

Whilst browsing in Daiso, I came across this version.

As the name implies, it is touted as a high end version of the usual design knife. However at just 200yen [USD$1.38~] , I wondered what made it different from the others out there.

Here are a few key points.

1. Uses most replacement blades
2. Embossed for non-slip grip in a easy to hold shape
3. Lightweight , low center of gravity for a stable feel
4. Comes with a magnet at the end for use as a grabber tool

Other obvious perks include the low price, classic design and portability.

What do you think? 

Would you try this out?

Review: Kodomo no Kao's Pochitto Pick!

This week's review is of the Pochitto pick! 
We've reviewed the regular Pochitto on this blog before and the Pick! is an interesting edition. 

The Pochitto Pick! is a customisable stamp system. 

You purchase an empty case which has 6 slots, then you purchase stamps, which come in a set of 3. 

  

Each set is themed and each stamp can be removed and then placed in a spot in the case. 

The stamp just clicks into place, easy! 

I picked up the task and oshi sets, there are also sets for health, weather and other stamps you might use in a diary/schedule on a day to day basis. 

I do think the Pochitto Pick! is really cute and I appreciated the customisable nature of it. Being able to swap out the stamps is pretty useful. 

Even if the Pick! is bigger than the regular Pochitto, being able to decide the lineup of stamps in the case makes it easier to carry around than multiple Pochittos. 

What do you think, do you use the Pochitto stamps? Which is your favourite series?
