• as birthday presents. These are often used to mark special birthday anniversaries, as 40th, 50th 60th and 70th birthday gifts.
• as an anniversary gift. Many of our customers choose a historic newspaper as the perfect anniversary present, providing a reminder of what was in the news on their wedding day. The 1st anniversary is the 'Paper' anniversary, so a newspaper is an inspirational choice for this occasion.
• as a christening present. As the child grows up, he or she will always have a historic record of what happened on the day they were born
