Hubman & Chubgirl Starter Kit Unboxing – My Birthday Stationery Haul! 🎁💖

If you’ve been around Miss Stickers Blog for a bit, you probably know I love discovering cute, indie stationery — and this month, I treated myself to something extra special for my birthday! 🎂🎉

I’ve had my eye on it for it a bit, and now I finally got myself a Hubman & Chubgirl Journaling Starter Kit!!! I am so excited to open it up and explore everything inside. ✨

So grab a cozy drink ☕, settle in, and let’s unbox this stationery bundle together! 📦

🎁 First Peek Inside!

At first, I was a little disappointed that the starter kit didn’t come in its own special box — I’d hoped to keep it for storage afterwards.

But when I opened the shipping box… surprise! 🎉 There were two stationery-themed pouches made especially for the starter kit. Yay!

Honestly? That’s even better. Boxes get banged up and dirty in transit, but these pouches arrived perfectly clean, and they each have a handy Velcro closure. 💼

Plus, they’re way easier to carry around than a box — so it’s actually a win-win!

💌 What’s in the Kit?

I was actually surprised by how much was included in the kit! 🎉
Each of the two pouches is really its own kit: one is the Starter Tools Kit, and the other is the Sticker Starter Kit.

The Tools Kit includes:

A Hubman & Chubgirl mini journal (dot grid)
A Tombow Dual Brush Pen (N95, pale gray)
A 3-pack of Tombow Mono Drawing Pens (sizes 01, 03, and 05)
A Staedtler HB pencil ✏️
A Pentel brush pen
A kneadable eraser
A 15 cm (6 inches) stationery-themed acrylic ruler
And an exclusive pair of Hubman & Chubgirl sticker tweezers! 💖

The Sticker Kit includes:

3 sheets of deco stickers
10 sheets of journaling stickers
A planner kit sampler (2 sheets)
A trackers sampler (2 sheets)
A functional stickers sampler (2 sheets)
A set of 2 washi tape rolls

But the best part? You can choose the theme and month that your sticker kit will be based on! ✨ So extra special! ✨

The themes you can choose from are:

Honey Lavender 🍯💜
Parisian Café ☕
Rainbow Unicorns 🌈🦄
Vintage Stationery 🖋️📜
Woodland Mushrooms 🍄

(Guess which theme I picked for my birthday month… 😁)

📒 For My Planner & Journal

How I’ll use the pens, tools, and stickers in my daily spreads

This tool kit is absolutely AMAZING! ✨ I’m in love with almost everything — the ruler is adorable 📏, the Tombow Mono pens dry almost instantly and don’t smudge when I highlight over them, and the Pentel brush pen is super easy to use! 💖

I’ve never been able to use a brush pen so easily for calligraphy before — it’s honestly a game-changer for me. 🎨✍️

I guess the only thing I’m not in love with is the kneadable eraser 😅 — I don’t like the texture, and I find it doesn’t erase very well. But hey, that’s all a matter of opinion and taste, really!

If you’re new to journaling, this kit really gives you everything you need to start — and the best part? You can purchase it on its own, too, without having to buy the whole bundle! 💼✍️

🎀 Stickers Galore!!

A closer look at the adorable sticker sheets, samplers, and washi

OMG — so. many. stickers. 😍✨

I’ll admit… I didn’t really read the product description all that carefully when I ordered. 😅
(If I had, I would’ve known just how many stickers I was getting!)
I pretty much just looked at the pictures and went: yep, I want that! 😂

But wow — it’s almost twenty sheets of stickers! So many happy unicorns 🦄🌈
I’ve already started using the colorful boxes and deco stickers in my planner, the trackers my calendar, and the deco stickers in my journal. I even used a few to decorate my new A5 6-ring binder! 💌📒 (Yay for waterproof, stick-everywhere vinyl stickers!)

🎨 Favorite Find!

Everything in this kit was super special and great quality, so I honestly can’t pick a single favorite item — but I can do this:

💫 The Item That Surprised Me the Most:
The tweezers! I’ll admit — I was expecting some cheap, lightweight plastic… but WOW. I was so wrong! 😲
These are made of… I don’t even know what material it is 🤣 — but it feels like a soft, brushed metal-plastic mix. And the “Chubgirl” engraving? It’s beautiful.
Oh — and they come in their own little case! So good!! 🥰

💖 The Item That Made Me Giggle Like a Schoolgirl:
Well, obviously all the sticker sheets made me giggle — but so did the two washi tape rolls!
Why? Because not only are they pastel-y and adorable… but they SPARKLE. ✨
Now that’s unicorn magic! 🦄💫

🖊️ The Item I Thought I Wouldn’t Use (But Now I Do!):
Definitely the Pentel brush pen. The ease of use, the crisp black ink, and how quickly it dries? It’s now part of my everyday carry-with-me-everywhere pencil case. 💼🖋️

📝 The Item I’m Definitely Gonna Need More Of:
The Tombow Mono pens, 100%.
I’ve already added a pack to my Amazon cart. They’re that good.

🗂️ The Items I’ve Put Aside for Now:

The kneadable eraser (for reasons mentioned above 😅)
The Tombow Dual Brush Pen (I already have that color)
And the dot grid journal — only because I already own, like, fifty 😂

That said… I will get to that journal eventually — I love dot grid notebooks.
And seriously — how cute is that cover?? 😍

👀 Little Details I Loved

Thoughtful touches, surprises, and packaging cuteness

I loved the pouches, obviously — I’m totally going to reuse them! 🎒✨

And I really liked the little Welcome to Journaling card and the Grid card — they’re super nice if you’re just getting started with a dot grid journal, and the Grid spacing sheet can truly come in handy for planning your spreads.

But the item that made me squeal-laugh and then go “Aaaawww” was this tiny freebie sticker. 💖
I’m a total sucker for anything that says “Please, adopt me” — which is probably why I have so many plushies. 😅

I didn’t expect anything extra, so this little surprise was the cherry on top of an already magical bundle!

📦 Would I Buy It Again?

Definitely! 🎉

Now, I’m not sure I’d be able to pay full price for it — but with the subscriber VIP price, plus the use of a coupon earned through Pineapple Points (you collect them with every purchase on the site), it ended up being a tremendously good value! 💸✨

🎉 Final Thoughts + Happy Desk Photos!

A cozy wrap-up and a peek at how everything looks on my desk

All in all, this was such a wonderful birthday gift to myself — full of cuteness, quality, and little surprises. 🎁💖

If the word “starter kit” makes you hesitate — especially if, like me, you’ve been journaling for years — don’t let it!
Honestly? I’d totally rename it the “Journaling Lover’s Kit” ✨
Because whether you’re just getting started or already surrounded by pens and stickers, it’s packed with beautiful, useful tools and sweet design touches that any stationery fan would love. And the customizability gives it that something extra other brands don’t always have.

Now everything’s tucked neatly in various pencil cases and sticker albums, all ready to use — and I can’t wait to see how it all shows up in my next spreads. 🖋️🌸

Thanks for unboxing this with me — and let me know if you’ve tried this kit (or want to)! I’d love to hear what your theme and month would be! 💌✨
