If you’re stuck for birthday gift ideas, birthday newspapers might be the answer to your problem. A birth date newspaper will probably be around for any date, no matter how old or young your recipient is. And don’t be fooled, these birthday newspaper gifts aren’t reprints or reproductions. They’re the true McCoy and are as old as the date on their front page.

So what’s the appeal? Well, besides their age, it’s the fact they offer us a little window into what was happening on your day we took our first bow. pool result  Okay, so if they certainly were born your day after the initial moon landing, it’s a pretty safe bet about what can have made the headlines. But how about those times when the news headlines was somewhat slower?

Take Hannah, within the office. Born on December 3rd 1987, a newspaper from her birthday included coverage of America’s criticism of France in making an apparent cope with Iran to be able to gain the release of French hostages in Lebanon. And there may also have been something concerning the Asian couple who committed suicide as they waited to be questioned over a South Korean airliner that disappeared over Burma.

And how about Maddie? The office’s ‘baby’ was born on 15th January 1991, when her birthday newspapers were reporting on the last-ditch efforts of UN Secretary General Perez de Cuellar at preventing war with Iraq. Other likely stories included the deaths of 40 South African football fans throughout a brawl at a match, and a piece on recovered art that were stolen by the Nazis half a century earlier.

Then there’s our Tom. Born on 9th June 1985, there were lots of news items being reported from around the planet, however in this instance, Tom’s birthday newspaper can have probably included reports on 30 deaths during violence in Sri Lanka and the ongoing trial of these accused of assassinating Gandhi. It’s really interesting stuff and the right way to recollect the newspaper headlines from previous years.

Anyway, here’s the point. As we’ve already said, whenever you buy birthday newspapers online, you’re not investing in a reprint or reproduction – unless you’re after an infamous date. Instead, you’re getting genuine – an original newspaper that’s as old as they are. What’s more, you’ve got a choice of gift boxes, folders and frames, along with the opportunity to have it delivered in a satin-lined box.
