Why Newspapers Make the Perfect Day You Were Born Gifts

People have an innate curiosity to know what happened on the day they were born and understand how the world they know today once was. Often memories that we are too young to recall directly can be prompted by revisiting them through visual cues, such as the images and firsthand accounts found in newspapers from that very day. As the recipient reads through a newspaper from the day they were born they are likely to experience a wave of nostalgia and have some fond memories prompted.

Nostalgic gifts are especially popular for milestone birthdays, but why settle for a trinket from that decade, year, or even month, when there are gifts from the day you were born available? As the world’s largest archive you can not only find newspapers available from the day you were born, but also select specific national, and regional titles!

Headlines From The Day You Were Born

Surprisingly it is often the parts of a newspaper that you most commonly skip over which turn out to be the most fascinating when reading a historic paper from the day you were born. Front pages were often filled with advertisements that now offer a fascinating insight into a bygone age; be it the prices, style of language used or even the products or services themselves! The photographs and images printed on the day you were born will of course be as clear and legible as the day they were printed after having been carefully preserved under optimum conditions.

With the world’s largest private collection of archived newspapers we can almost guarantee a newspaper will be available from the day you were born. Newspapers over 100 years old are generally bought for historical interest although we have even supplied a born day newspaper for someone born 110 years ago! There are a huge range of title to choose from for the majority of dates, including many that are no longer in circulation. Some examples of the newspaper titles that are no longer printed include the Daily Graphic, the News Chronicle, The Citizen – and many others.

Perfect Gifts From The Day You Were Born

There is also a great selection of gift presentation options that not only offer the perfect finishing touch, to what is already a unique and one of a kind gift, but also help preserve the newspaper so it can be enjoyed for years to come. Choose from a huge range; including a red satin lined gift box, a presentation folder, a cherry wood gift box or even having the newspaper framed.

Very great customer service

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

Very unique, interesting to see what happens 70 years ago.

Deeanna Franklin Campbell September 19 2023

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.
