Quick answer
For a Hobonichi Cousin, choose the Lil' Arcade Time or Lil' Moon Power kit for a perfect fit; for a Weeks planner, the Lil' Fox Festival kit is your best bet. If you want a versatile vertical kit for multiple planners, the Vertical Kit - Lil' Moonlight Sakura offers more pages and flexibility.
Size and fit: the key difference
The main difference between these kits is the sticker sheet size and how they align with your planner. Hobonichi Cousin kits use half-sized sheets (4.5" x 6.75") with boxes 1.3" wide, designed to fit the Cousin's grid. Weeks kits are smaller (3.5" x 6.65") and tailored for the Weeks' compact weekly layout.
If you use a different planner, the Vertical Kit - Lil' Moonlight Sakura offers quarter-sized sheets (3.5" x 4.5") on pages 1-8 and a half-sized sheet on page 9, giving you more flexibility for journals and notebooks.
Consider your planner's dimensions before buying. A kit that doesn't fit your layout can be frustrating, so measure your planner or check the product details carefully.
Foil and paper: what to expect
All these kits feature SumLilThings' original hand-drawn Lil' Misfits artwork, but the finish varies. The Lil' Arcade Time and Lil' Moon Power kits offer foiled vinyl sheets on pages 1-2, with matte non-removable sheets on later pages. The Lil' Fox Festival kit includes holo foil accents, and the Vertical Kit - Lil' Moonlight Sakura has holographic foil on sheets 1-4.
Note that vinyl matte paper (foil) requires an archival pen for writing over it, so if you plan to write on your stickers, keep that in mind. Matte non-removable sheets are great for permanent decoration but can't be repositioned.
Think about your usage: if you like to write on stickers, choose a kit with matte sheets or be prepared to use an archival pen.
Trade-offs to consider
- Cousin vs Weeks size: Cousin kits use half-sized sheets with 1.3" boxes; Weeks kits use smaller sheets. Choose based on your planner model. Measure your planner's layout before ordering.
- Foil vs matte: Foil sheets add shine but require an archival pen for writing; matte sheets are easier to write on but are non-removable. If you write on stickers often, prefer matte sheets or keep an archival pen handy.
- Page count: Cousin kits have 3-7 pages, Weeks kits have 2 or 8 sheets, and the Vertical Kit has 9 pages. More pages mean more variety but a higher price. Consider how many stickers you actually use in a month.
