You can give them a nostalgic gift to cherish on their 80th birthday.
A unique book with headlines from their Date of Birth, and every birthday thereafter
Personalise with the recipient’s Name and add a Message on the title page
Option to gold emboss their name on the front cover
Tabloid-sized 80th birthday book measures 38 x 31cm
Luxury gift box available to complete this perfect gift
Turning 80 is an immense achievement. The birthday boy or girl has had a great innings and they can look back on the top headlines from each of their birthdays in this innings with a special 80th birthday book made from front page newspapers. By simply using their birthdate, the book generates the most intriguing headlines that intertwine with the recipient’s own life.
With so much to read and look back on, all the content is printed on premium quality paper for a lasting finish. Opposite each reprint, there will be a blank page left intentionally for the individual to add their own memories and photos of the year. The book is hardback so all these memories will be suitably protected to cherish forever.
How to Personalise Your 80th Birthday Newspaper Book
To personalise this unique Birthday Edition newspaper book, simply add the recipient’s Name and your personal Message which is then printed on a certificate on the title page of the book. For an extra special touch, gold emboss the recipient’s Name on the front cover.
Further Information
These fantastic personalised books measure an impressive 38 x 31cm, approximately tabloid size and beautifully bound in a choice of hardback covers. Content is taken from the Daily Mirror as it provides the best insight into periods past, though broad journalistic content, photographs (which many other titles 40, 50 years ago lacked), advertisements etc.
Please note: The book will only include this year’s birthday page if it is ordered 30 days after the selected date. There will be occasions (very rarely) when a front page for your exact date isn’t available. For example: No newspapers are printed on Christmas Day, Good Friday and during strikes, in which case a front page from the day after will be used.
When entering your personalisation, please note that accents, emojis and other symbols can’t be used as our system doesn’t support these. Make sure to double check your spelling!

Great Products
I ordered three books (two with plush toys) for my young nieces and nephews back in America. They arrived in a reasonable amount of time given the distance and the pandemic, and the children love them.
