Men are just so difficult to buy Christmas presents for!

Its that time of year again - time to write out the Christmas present list and its always the men on the list that are the most difficult to buy for. Just what do you get Dad, Grandad, Uncle (George), Cousin (Peter)???
Don't struggle this year - check out http://www.paperspast.co.uk/ for details of how to buy each of them their Birth date Times Newspaper. Quite simply they make brilliant xmas gifts. A full and complete date of birth edition is an original and thoughtful present which will give hours of reading and enjoyment over the festive period, in fact you will probably have to ask them to give you a rest from them reading out loud all of the classic adverts and news events that happened on their special day.
Papers Past send out gift packed single editions for £39.95 including postage. To order simply telephone Ian or Sam on (01872) 261220 9am-9pm 365 days a year (including Christmas day).

Birthday Gift Problem Solved

Simply think of the most difficult person in your family to buy birthday gift for - the one, who seems to have got everything - now think of getting them their Birthdate Times Newspaper - Problem Solved! (If, by chance, they already have their date of birth newspaper then consider getting one for their 21st Birthday - for example someone already with their 1930 Times Newspaper could be sent one from their special day in 1951 when they were 21 - such a nice idea and from a time they can remember and relate to.)
Most dates can be located, extracted from the extensive archive of genuine newspapers, gift packed and dispatched by First Class post. To order simply go to www.paperspast.co.uk or phone Ian or Sam on 01872 261220 9am-9pm - 365 days a year (yes, they even take calls on Christmas Day)

Postal strike,birthday newspapers,old times editions,gifts,presents

Papers Past, during any postal strike period, will be sending out orders by overnight courier! This will ensure that customers will receive their order the very next day after dispatch. Sam Willsher, Operations Manager, said '' Our customers order these genuine, original, full and complete newspapers as very special gifts for someones birth date or anniversary. We understand how important these gifts are to the individuals so we get the paper out of the archive, package it up and dispatch it asap. We cannot take the risk of it being held up in a postal backlog so alternative measures have been taken. We look forward to working with Interlink Express who have impressed us with their level of service and speed of delivery. As a gesture we will absorb the extra cost of the courier service ourselves for the first 1,000 customers who order the already excellent value £54.95 Special Date Newspaper and Leather Folder package.'

Safe online ordering, The Times, Daily telegraph,back issue newspapers,commemorative newspapers

If your biggest worry about buying anything online is safety and not knowing exactly who you are dealing with then read on....
Papers Past was established in 1981 by the existing owner Ian Willsher. The business has traded successfully since then and for the past eight years has been based in Truro, West Cornwall. The business has been supplying genuine editions of The Times Newspaper and recently some Daily Telegraphs and Daily Mails.
The newspapers come gift packed and have proved original and thoughtful birthday and anniversary gifts. Papers Past are actual stockholders of these newspapers and run an archive of over 120 tons so sell their own editions and do not simply send a purchase voucher or even a reprinted paper like some other websites.
Online and telephone orders each come with a 100% satisfaction guarantee and a price match promise.
Online orders can be paid for via the very secure PayPal payment system-so no worries there. Papers Past are established members of The Federation of Small Businesses through which they were introduced to Streamline with whom they process card payments for their telephone orders, again a very secure payment system.
All customers personal information is shredded and never held on file and names and addresses are never shared with third parties.
So, as you can see, Papers Past are a long established business who offer a safe and trouble free gift buying experience. See www.paperspast.co.uk or give them a call on 01872 261220.
