Personalized Original Newspapers

These certificates are personalized with the recipient’s name, the occasion being celebrated, and a personal message. These personalized newspapers are a special birthday gift because they were published on the day the recipient of the gift was born. They have been particularly popular for special birthday milestones like a 40th, 50th or 60th birthday. Some of the personalized newspapers we sell are very old indeed. A couple of years ago we sold a personalized newspaper for a 110th birthday. These old newspapers are a fascinating read. One can get absorbed in the news published on the day you were born, read all about the sports news of the day, and marvel at how much advertising has changed over the years. Being given a personalized newspaper does have a special resonance because of its personal connection with the recipient – people do like to know what was happening on their birthdate. We have a wide range of gift presentations available to suit all occasions. As an alternative to newspapers, why not take a look at our range of stunning, made to order, luxury newspaper books or premium birthday book. These keepsake items are perfect for marking, and commemorating, important dates and special occasions that will be cherished and loved by the recipient for years to come.

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.
