Make an occasion worth celebrating with a gift from 1949

In 1949, the world witnessed some of the most important events in history. The Fourth Geneva Convention was declared and George Orwell’s book, Nineteen Eighty-Four was released. For some, this year marks important birthdays of friends and family. If so, then our 1949 birthday gifts will become nostalgic keepsakes to celebrate this important year. You could pick a 1949 newspaper from the world’s largest newspaper archive or a local history book to reconnect the recipient with memories from their birth place, all tied to this special year.

The paper came exactly as described

The paper came exactly as described. The certificate that comes with it has the note I provided to be included with the paper as expected. My father truly enjoyed reading about what was going on in Texas on the day he was born. I was surprisingly pleased.

The book is beautifully presented and my husband was very pleased with his birthday present. Unfortunately, the early papers/pages, are so poorly printed (perhaps over printed) that they are blurry and unreadable, even with a magnifying glass. The later date papers/pages are readable and consequently very interested.

Great gift for those to have "everything"

My Grandma was turning 95 and needed ABOSLUTELY NOTHING... Instead of sending her flowers AGAIN I purchased this book with Washington Post Front Pages from her birthdays through the years. She absolutely loved it - and so did the rest of the family. There have been MANY interesting conversations sparked by reading through the book.

The Most Unique Gift

I found your site after Goggling, “ What to buy for a guy who has everything.” I ordered your Birthday Book as a gift for my friend’s 65th birthday and it was a BIG hit. Such a truly unique idea, you can be sure it’s a gift that they do not already have!!! Planning on getting your football book next for a Christmas gift for my son in law 🎄
