HIJYOO A5 3-Pack Hardback Journal Notebooks (Black/Blue/Green) with 80gsm Lined Pages

If you like keeping notes, sketches, or a diary in proper notebooks rather than loose sheets, an A5 journal pack is a sensible move. This HIJYOO notebook set is built around three medium A5 notebooks with lined pages, a hardback-style cover and the sort of small extras that make everyday writing feel less fiddly.

That said, it’s not a “premium art sketch book” by the looks of it—this is more about smooth daily writing and organising your thoughts. Also, with 200 pages per notebook, it’s a solid amount for regular use, but it may not feel endless if you write heavily every day.

The essentials

This is a 3-pack of A5 notebooks (14 x 21cm), each with 200 pages (100 sheets) of 80gsm paper. The pages are lined, which should suit journalling, meeting notes, study/course notes, or bullet-style layouts where you still want guidance from the lines.

The set also leans into usability: there’s a pen loop to keep your pen close, a ribbon page marker to jump back to your place, and an inner pocket for small extras. An elastic closure helps keep the notebook shut when it’s in a bag. The PU leather cover is designed to be comfortable to handle and easy to lay flat up to 180° for writing and reading.

What’s likely to matter in day-to-day use

On paper (pun intended), the 80gsm “smooth touch” paper should feel pleasant for everyday writing and general journalling. Lined pages make it easier to keep handwriting neat, and the A5 size is a good middle ground—big enough to write comfortably, but still manageable for travel or commuting.

The practical additions are where this pack earns its keep. A pen loop is one of those details you either love or ignore—if you’ve ever had to go hunting for a pen mid-page, you’ll appreciate having it built in. The inner pocket is also handy for receipts, small notes, or a spare card.

And because these are hardback notebooks with a PU cover, they’re better suited to being taken out and about than flimsy pads. They’re also the kind of notebooks that can switch roles: one can be for personal notes, one for work, and one for study.

Where this notebook set shines

This is a good fit if you want a neat, organised writing setup without buying multiple different items. A 3-pack helps if you like to run parallel notebooks (for example, journalling at home while keeping a separate one for class or work).

It also makes sense if you want a gift that feels “ready to use”. The set is presented as suitable for birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, and Christmas, so it’s the sort of notebook pack people can pick up and start using straight away.

Things to watch before buying

This notebook set is built around lined pages and the “journal notepad” use case, so it’s less ideal if you’re after a thicker, more purpose-made paper for heavy fountain pen inks or advanced sketching—nothing in the details points to specialist paper treatment beyond smooth touch.

You should also consider whether 200 pages per notebook matches your writing pace. If you plan to fill notebooks quickly, you may prefer a higher page count per volume (or accept that you’ll be rotating notebooks more often).

Finally, the cover is PU leather (not real leather), and while that can be a practical choice for durability and feel, it’s still worth knowing what you’re paying for depending on your preferences.

Who it’s for (and who should skip it)

It suits you if you’re looking for a straightforward A5 notebook journal with organisation features—pen loop, ribbon marker, inner pocket, elastic closure—and paper that’s meant to feel smooth for writing.

It might not suit you if you specifically need a notebook designed for intense sketching, very high-end ink performance, or a particular ruling format beyond standard lined pages.

Quick comparison in real terms

If you’re deciding between a basic notepad and a “journal” style notebook, the difference here is in the extras and the cover. Many simple pads won’t offer the elastic closure, pen loop, ribbon marker, and inner pocket together.

On the other hand, if you’re used to notebook brands that focus heavily on premium art paper or specialised writing performance, this one may feel more like a practical daily organiser than a dedicated writing tool for the most demanding setups.

Final verdict

A solid pick if you want three A5 hardback lined notebooks with 80gsm smooth-touch paper, plus the small everyday features that stop you making do. The 180° lay-flat design, elastic closure, and pen loop are exactly the sort of details that matter once you start carrying a notebook around.

You may want to skip it if you’re chasing specialist paper performance for certain inks or you need a sketch-focused notebook rather than a lined journal.

If you’re buying for yourself, it’s a sensible value-for-setup option. If you’re buying as a gift, it’s the kind of notebook pack that feels immediately usable without extra planning.
