Moi, Finnish friends 😄 I'll be visiting Finland for the first time in the end of February (2027). I'm going with a travel group, and we'll be starting in Helsinki before flying up to Kittilä; I don't know exactly where we'll be staying, so I'm using Kittilä as a base. There are activities and excursions planned out for us every day, but I get one free day to do whatever I like. So, I'm looking for some ideas of what to do!

Some relevant info:

• I will be on this trip with strangers. I can usually get along pretty well with people, so I may make a friend or two that would want to do an activity with me! However, I would also appreciate suggestions for activities that won't be strange to do alone.
• In case the date matters, my free day would be on February 25.
• The exact itinerary has not been released yet, but some likely activities that we will already be doing are: northern lights, husky safari, reindeer visiting, snowmobile excursion, massage at a spa
• I enjoy snowboarding, but it's probably not a good idea because of cost. (paying to bring my own gear on the trip, cost of renting gear at a resort)
• I like being outside, even if it's cold! So any outdoor ideas are welcome too.

Now, the second part of my post- packing for the trip. I'm a light packer and only bring a carry-on suitcase and a backpack, no checked bags. Obviously, when going to a cold country, my clothes will take up a lot more space than if it were a breezy week in the Riviera. Thankfully, I live in a cold place, so the really bulky items - like my coat and boots - will already be on me when I fly. I'll be in Finland for 5 FULL days; I arrive on the first day around 2pm, and will be leaving in the morning on the "last" day, so I'm not really counting those. I already have a good idea of what I'll need to pack, but I'm not sure if it will all fit...if you've had experience packing light for a trip like this, I would appreciate your tips and tricks.

Kiitos!

I'll be going on a week-long vacation to Nice in just a couple of weeks. There's activities and whatnot planned for each day, for Nice, surrounding towns, Monaco. However, our last full day there is totally open. I'm looking for interesting things to do/visit for two people, neither of whom know French beyond super basic travel phrases. If it involves leaving the Nice area, advice on how to get around would be great as well. Thank you!

We are already doing Monaco, Eze, Old Town Nice, Cannes, Grasse​, and a beach day.

Just a little vent. The stalk market is by far my least favorite part of the game. For my first few years of playing I didn't even participate. But I'm trying to finish all of my Nook Miles achievements, so now I have to. Daisy Mae is my pookie and I love her, but I hate buying these dang things. The fact that Nook's Cranny has a "morning" price and "evening/afternoon" price is what really gets me. The morning price is only from 8a-12p, and I'm at work during that time so I can't check it! This week, my island ended up having a decreasing price pattern and I lost a ton of money because the highest price was on Monday morning. And having to try to diligently check the prices twice a day, every day, and try to predict the patterns....(I use the online Turnip Calculator, but still.) This is why I don't gamble or invest in stocks IRL. TOO MUCH WORK!! Plus, to fully complete the Nook Miles achievement, you have to buy and sell SO. MANY. TURNIPS. I'm gonna be stuck doing this forever. RIP.

**Posting again because my title was too vague. I can't really make it less vague though because thats exactly why I can't remember the book lol**

This is a HUGE reach because I literally only recall a concept of a character and thats it. No plot whatsoever. All I remember is the main character (i think?) was a girl who was more whimsical and strong-willed, and liked to explore or have adventures or whatever (that sort of vibe, at least). There was another kid in the neighborhood who was sort of sickly and snivelly, stayed inside a lot, didnt ever want to go out or do anything, but she'd begrudgingly end up dragging him along anyway (often at her parent's insistence). Honestly I'm not even sure that I haven't made this up. But maybe it'll ring a bell for somebody.

Newbie here scoping out some gear of my own to buy for this winter! I've done a lot for reading up and have pretty much settled on the KIND of board I need, I'm just at the stage of picking which one I LIKE. There's a lot of really neat women's boards out there, I'm a fan of Nitro's in particular. Problem: I got some biga$$ feet. I'm a womens US 11/EU 43. I know you don't wanna have too much toe hanging over the side of your board or you'll snag, but how much can I get away with? The majority of the boards I'm looking at don't come in a large enough width to accommodate my feet. Otherwise, a women's board would suit me fine by size- I'm 5'7" and 145lb. (I know getting a board that fits properly is more important than cosmetics, but men's boards are just so...not pretty.) TIA

Hi y'all! Since I joined in 2024, I've been working through the same 2 sets of postcards that I bought to start and I'm really bored of them. Occasionally, I travel, or visit a stationery store or artist fair, and can buy some original postcards. I also sometimes make my own or cut them out from packaging. But really, I take a lot of photos and I'd like to get them printed as postcards! Any recommendations on where to do it? I've looked at vistaprint, but I only see a minimum option of 25...I would want all the postcards to have different designs, not a bunch of the same ones.

Hello friends! I'm an avid user of Nookazon but I just haven't been fortunate there recently. I've put in so many offers and never get a response 😞 So, I'm gonna post my wishlist here and see if it does any better. If you have something you're willing to trade, let me know and tell me what you want for it! TIA. (if an item is a DIY, the recipe is preferable, but just the item is fine if it's all you have. some items I might need in multiples))

• hanging glowing moss
• any pink or purple flowers, but preferably: hyacinth, lily, mums, windflower
• lily of the valley
• forbidden altar
• spider web
• afternoon-tea set
• crane game
• torii gate
• blossom lantern
• bamboo grass
• crescent moon chair
• tall lantern
• shell rug
• scarecrow
• pine bonsai
• mermaid rug
• mermaid lamp
• mermaid sofa
• infused-water dispenser
• cherry blossom branches

First: really, how helpful is Tortimer on Harv's island? The only purpose I can see is if you buy something at the co-op and want to drop it right in your home storage. But you have to fly home when you leave the co-op anyway, so why not put it in your storage yourself? and if you're on Harv's island, why would you need to get things out of your storage besides maybe Bells?

Second: is there anywhere in particular to get ceiling fixtures? I have that ability unlocked but I've never gotten one from a villager or balloon, shaken one out of a tree, or seen one for sale in Nook's Cranny or Nook Shopping/redeem Nook Miles store.

And third: purpose of pits. Is it just so you can have an extra-low spot without making it a waterway? why would we want a pit to fall into, lol.
