Personalized 40th Birthday Newspapers

Turning 40 isn’t what it used to be. 40 is not considered old and rightly so. It’s a milestone to celebrate great life experiences and look back on the moments that made their life worth living. What better gift to start off their forties than a 40th birthday newspaper? Not only can the birthday boy or girl reflect on how far they’ve come, they’ll rekindle their favorite memories from the past.

Sure, the individual might feel like the last 40 years has flown by, but a birthday newspaper will help them realize their own worth. By choosing a newspaper from the day they were born, you’ll open up a window of nostalgia, and with it, an abundance of memories. A single headline, advert or photograph could bring back treasured memories from their childhood, or any special moment from their life.

A 40th Birthday Keepsake Like No Other

Including popular newspaper titles such as The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Dallas Morning News and much more, you get to choose the headline of your 40th birthday keepsake.

From historical periods like WWI and WWII to historical icons like David Bowie, you’ll find something to spark their interest. The books themselves are bound in leather or leatherette and feature the recipient’s name embossed on the cover. Whatever you choose, be inspired to make their 40th birthday a sensation, because it’s the start of the rest of their life.

One of the most original gift ideas given to a birthday boy celebrating his 80th birthday.

Crumbling and expensive. Paid $70 plus for a paper taped back together. Horrible customer serve. At no point do they advertise these papers maybe taped together. Probably because if they did you would not buy it. Deceitful.

    Thank you for your review.

    We do apologize that you are not happy with the newspaper received.

    We can see that you did contact our Customer Service Team in regards to the item received. It was explained that as you have ordered a 1945 newspaper and therefore 78 years old, unfortunately it will not be received as if you had brought a newspaper today.

    Most of our archived papers are stored in large binders or are already folded, especially the larger broadsheets. As they are genuine originals from that time, they can be fragile therefore we use a special archive tape to reinforce the spine or areas which may deteriorate from excessive use. Some stock we have acquired is stitched into the binders from previous use in places like libraries, universities, private sales etc. Where this is the case, we would have to carefully cut the papers out so we use the tape which is clear and designed so that you can read the paper freely.

    Please accept our apologies for any inconvenienced caused.

    Kindest Regards
    The Historic Newspapers Team

It was an 80th birthday gift for my dad. He loved it. Wonderful trip down memory lane. The paper is very fragile and turning the dry pages takes great care, but that just helped with the authenticity and magic of the look into the past. Thanks!

For a newspaper that’s 80+ years old and almost perfect, can’t go wrong.
