Old Newspapers
Original Old Newspapers make great Birthday
Gifts How about giving somebody a piece of history for their birthday? Original
newspapers from the date that a person was born are becoming a popular gift choice for the important birthdays like
the 40th, 50th and 60th.
The gift receiver can read about what was happening in the world on the very day that they were born. Just imagine
their reaction when they see it!
This is a birthday gift with a little more thought gone into it. Just imagine your friend on say, their 50th
birthday reading about what happened on the day that they were born.
A huge amount of changes have occured in the world in the past 50, 60 and 100 years. We sometimes take it
for granted with the small changes that happen day by day, but when we look back over a large stretch of time it
suddenly hits us.
You can read about the world events at the time, the price of houses and the adverts for the "must have"
products of that time. You will notice the difference in social attitudes. Reading these old newspapers will take
you back in time.
Are these Newspapers Just Copies?
In a word, No! These newspapers are the original newspapers from the time. They come from a huge archive of UK
newspapers that goes back to 1685. There are seven million newspapers in the archive. The archive is added to
each day with newspapers from the newspaper publishers, libraries and other collections from around the world.
It is possible to supply a newspaper from almost any date that you require. If you want to check that a particular
date is available then select the date from the drop down list here.
The newspaper gifts are supplied with a certificate of authenticity. This is proof that you are purchasing
a piece of published history. The gift ricipient will treasure this gift for years to come.
How are the Newspaper Gift Presented?
As you can see from the images above there is a good choice of formats to present your newspaper gift in. You
can choose to present the newspaper in a simple gift folder or bound in a book.
The large gift book holds the paper unfolded and allows you to read it without having to unfold it.
You can also have it presented in a hand finished picture frame or even in a box with wine.
Personalise the Gift
You can personalise the certificate of authenticity with a personal message to the person receiving the gift.
You could write something like "Presented to Peter Johnson on the Occasion of Your 70th Birthday". The certificate
will state that the newspaper is an original publication from that date.
This is Your Life Ultimate Newspaper Gift!
If you really want to treat your friend to a very special birthday gift then get them the "This is
your Life" gift. This special presentation folder can contain between two and seven newspapers. You choose the
dates. You could choose one for decade of a person's life! Or you may decide to choose one for their eighteenth
birthday and one for their twenty first birthday and so on.
