I'm a librarian, and I've always had an appreciation for books as gifts.

When she was very young, I ordered some PD Eastman Books from Amazon that I had as a kid, and it was interesting that they didn't have them new - they were old library books. I like them more :)

The amusement parks in Finland are obviously pretty seasonal with the weather, but they are trying to extend what they offer with various light shows and the like to get people in at other times. It makes it more interesting perhaps than just the rides. I am not a ride person though :)

A car show sounds alright. It has been ages since I have been to one.
