Hobonichi Moomin Index Sticky Notes (Friends of Moominvalley)

Index Sticky Notes from the Hobonichi Moomin Collection – coloured adhesive notes in narrow tab format, printed with illustrations of the inhabitants of Moominvalley. The paper can be written on with ballpoint, pencil or fibre-tip pen. Inserted into the side of the Techo notebook, the tabs protrude beyond the page edge and mark specific weeks, topics or entries at a glance.

Features

• Illustrations from the Moomin universe by Tove Jansson (1914–2001): Moomintroll, Moominmamma, Moominpappa, the strong-willed Little My and the solitary Snufkin appear on individual tabs in various scenes.
• Narrow tab format: The adhesive notes are proportioned so that they protrude from the side or top of the Techo notebook – the printed section remains visible when the book is closed and functions as a visual index.
• Paper material: The tabs are made of paper and accept pencil, ballpoint and fibre-tip pen well. With water-based inks (fountain pen, brush pen), drying time may vary – a quick test dab is worthwhile.
• Reusable multiple times: The adhesive layer is repositionable – tabs can be removed and repositioned elsewhere without leaving marks on the Tomoe River paper of the Techo.
• Multiple designs in one set: The set contains different character illustrations, allowing you to code different categories or months with different characters.

Use & Tips

• As a monthly or weekly index: Stick one tab per month on the side so that when you open the Techo, the respective Moomin character immediately catches your eye and you find the right page without turning.
• Thematic categorisation: Use different characters for different areas of life – for example, Snufkin for travel plans, Little My for deadline tasks, Moominmamma for personal notes.
• Combination with other Hobonichi Moomin products: The colour palette of the index tabs matches other products in the Moomin collection (pencil board, stencil, notebook) and can be assembled into a cohesive Techo setup.
• Usable outside the Techo too: The tabs adhere just as reliably in notebooks with smooth, calendered paper – as bookmark tabs or for chapter marking in bullet journals.
• Write before sticking: If you're writing with pencil or ballpoint, it's best to do so before the tab is stuck to the page – this way the paper lies flat and the writing is neat.

For Techo Enthusiasts

The Tomoe River paper of the Hobonichi Techo is exceptionally lightweight at 52 g/m² and sensitive to moisture. The repositionable adhesive layer of the Index Tabs is designed so that no fibres are torn from the thin paper when removed – a crucial point for a planner whose pages cannot be replaced. If you want to write on the tabs with fountain pen ink, it's best to choose a fast-drying or low-water ink and write on the tab before sticking it to a separate surface.
