90th Birthday Newspaper Gifts

Celebrating a 90th birthday is truly extraordinary—a rare and remarkable milestone that deserves an equally special gift. But what do you give someone who’s likely received just about everything over the years? Why not offer the gift of nostalgia.

There’s nothing quite like a meaningful keepsake to spark treasured memories, and our collection of 90th birthday gifts is designed to do just that. Few people can say they’ve experienced nine incredible decades, and while we can only imagine the moments they’ve lived through, a birthday newspaper brings those moments to life.

Whether it's the front page from the day they were born or another date of personal significance, our birthday newspapers allow recipients to reflect on the world as it once was. With a wide range of national, regional, and even discontinued titles, each gift is thoughtfully tailored from the very start.

Your order will include a certificate or authenticity. This adds the perfect finishing touch to this special gift and also guarantees that your newspaper is a genuine original, confirmed so by an expert.

Including popular newspaper titles such as The Times, The Guardian, Evening Standard, Financial Times, Illustrated London News and much more, you get to choose the headline of your birthday keepsake. The newspaper you select will be accompanied by a personalised certificate of authenticity guaranteeing the age of the paper itself, validated by one of our archivists.

Or, for the perfect personalised gifts for 90-year-olds, why not try our newspaper books? From historical periods like WWI, WWII and the D-Day Landings, to historical icons like David Bowie, Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Diana, you’ll find something to spark their interest. Not only can you give the gift of nostalgia, the recipient will have a keepsake to celebrate the gift of reaching their 90th birthday.

insights from our archivist

These aren’t replicas. They’re the actual newspapers that sat on newsstands up to 125 years ago. The one you buy could be the last copy in existence.

Prices can vary for several reasons, like popularity of a specific day, whether the paper is local or national, the paper’s age, and the number of copies left.

Missing papers give us a window into history. If a paper isn’t available for the date you’re after, it could be because that newspaper was on strike during the period.

FLYING OFF THE NEWSSTANDS

Bestsellers leave public ‘clamouring for copies’, reports suggest.
