About this idea

These printed books gather newspaper front pages or articles from a person’s birth date and sometimes every birthday since, with their name embossed on the cover. They’re a popular gift for milestone birthdays and retirements.

Who it suits

Milestone birthdays (40, 50, 60, 70, 80 and beyond), retirements, history fans.

Ordering in time

Printed and bound to order; check the production time for embossed covers.

Before you order

  • Check which newspaper is used and which dates are covered.
  • Get the date of birth exactly right.
  • Some books include sport or a specific team — choose what suits them.
