1950 The ideal Gift

Whether its a 60th Birthday Present or 60th Wedding Anniversary a special date 1950 gift packed Times Newspaper makes the ideal gift, especially for those difficult to buy for people. So much so that one date in particular, the 2nd September 1950, became a bit of a problem yesterday as we thought that we had sold out of all the archive back issues for that day. Both Sam and I went through each of the many 1950 volumes of Times newspapers only to find that 2nd September '50 was missing in each one, but we did not give up. Just as well as a batch of Sept 1950 newspapers had been slipped, unseen between two volumes. They were full and complete papers, mostly The Times and all in really good condition, a whole months worth and more than one per day. Certainly an exciting find and we were especially pleased to see that there were four newspapers from 2nd September 1950, we used one for the outstanding order and carefully replaced all of the others in to a volume. So, we can easily fulfill three more orders for that date. The reason it was a popular date was that it was a Saturday back then and customers have been buying them not just for people born on that day but those who were married on the Saturday. To see if we have the Birthdate or Wedding Newspaper you require simply phone us on 01872 261220 or go to http://www.paperspast.co.uk/ .

Gift for Sister? No Problem!

I want a Birthdate Times Newspaper for my Sister, its a Sunday edition in 1987 and I don't want to pay the £20 "Sunday" premium and I would like it to go 1st Class Post Today in a Leather Folder with Free Gold Personalisation! Some suppliers might consider this a difficult request but not Papers Past. OK, it took us an hour or two today to make it happen but by 4pm the newspaper gift had been sourced, extracted from an archive, packaged and dispatched. Not bad going for a small business in Cornwall, we did it and what's more we were happy to do it as it helped a customer solve his gift buying problem and we came a step closer to meeting our demanding sales target for August. So, if there is a gift problem you need solving (and it doesn't have to be for your sister)see our website www.paperspast.co.uk or www.birthdaytimesnewspapers.co.uk or telephone Ian or Sam on 01872 261220.

Special Keepsake Presents

Customers often ask us "What other products do you sell?". Well, we certainly have a few other great gift ideas for people who have already received their Birthday Times Newspaper. Check out the website www.paperspast.co.uk for details about the 30 page hard backed Birthday Books @ £2.99 (any 4 for £10 post paid) and the Family Tree Posters.
Another idea is to stay with the concept of a newspaper and instead of selecting the persons Birthdate go for their 21st Birthday Date, same day and month simply add 21 years to the date of birth and order that paper. Its from a time the person can remember and relate to and is immediately of interest. A customer last week did just that for his father (after already obtaining his date of birth newspaper), he said his Dad loved it because it was when he joined the army just before meeting his wife to be, a great time in his life. So, if you have bought someone their Birthday Newspaper during the year why not get them their 21st paper for Christmas and solve another gift buying problem.

What can I buy someone who is 50 next week?

Its Sunday morning, quite early and I'm manning the order line and I've just spoken to a customer who has solved their gift problem of what to buy someone who is going to be 50 soon. I enjoy this job, just as well as I've been doing it since 1981! Its great to be able to speak with customers and help them through the ordering process. Its quite simple really - what I do first is check the day of the week of the Birthday or Anniversary (as often Sunday editions are not available) and then confirm that the edition is in the archives.
1960 Times newspaper gifts reflect the time when Great Britain was going through great change, the papers, amongst many other things, reported new roads and houses being built and of course the old adverts were just fascinating.
Next, I discuss the two packaging options and offer FREE GOLD PRINTING PERSONALISATION with the Leather Folder Packaging Upgrade. I take great care in taking down the card payment details and name and address and that's it, job done. Its then over to me to arrange for the newspaper to be found in the archives, extracted, packaged and dispatched. I am confident that the team will do this and the packed up 1960 gift  will get posted off first class post asap. So, as you can see, its not just a job I do but more of a service to all the harassed gift buyers in the world .
To experience our level of service give me, Ian, a call on (01872) 261220 any day between 9 in the morning and 9 at night and I'll be there to help.

1935 Times Newspaper for 75th Birthday Present

I took an order this morning for an Original Times Newspaper from 22nd August 1935, since its the 19th August today it was wanted urgently but that was not a problem. The customer had been on to another archive but their edition was damaged so I was especially pleased to locate in our archives an absolutely brilliant "Royal" edition of The Times - certainly not damaged  - in fact it was one of the very best I had ever seen - clean, white and on a very high quality paper. These "Royal Editions" were from a very limited print run originally for distribution to the Royal Households and other notable destinations - if only that paper could talk!
I gift packed the paper, issued its Certificate of Authenticity and posted it Royal Mail Special Delivery this afternoon so that it will be with the customer by 1pm tomorrow. If you have left your gift buying to the last minute don't worry just give me, Ian, a call on (01872) 261220 between 9am and 9pm any day and I'll pull out all the stops and solve your Birthday or Anniversary gift problems.

Anniversary Gift Ideas

I have noticed that quite a few of our orders for Special Date Times Newspapers are being given as Wedding Anniversary Gifts which is a really good idea. The original, genuine, archive editions make brilliant keepsakes and gifts. Last night I took an order for a 1970 Newspaper, to commemorate a Ruby Wedding Anniversary (40 years). The customer ordered by ringing on 01872 261220 and chose the Leather Presentation Folder upgraded packaging so received FREE GOLD PRINTING PERSONALISATION (she wanted the phrase "Happy Ruby Anniversary" to be printed in gold on the black 9mm laminated label which I was happy to do free of charge).
Its a struggle sometimes to come up with a great gift idea for a "milestone" wedding anniversary but these Times backdated newspapers certainly fit the bill. To obtain one see the website www.paperspast.co.uk or www.birthdaytimesnewspapers.co.uk or telephone Ian or Sam on 01872 261220 (the telephone order/enquiry line is answered live 9am to 9pm everyday.

1930 Times Newspaper Gift

My old Dad is going to be 80 on 3rd October and I'm going to get him an original, genuine, full and complete edition of The Times Newspaper that was actually printed on his day of birth. I've looked in catalogues and I've been up and down the High Street for inspiration for gifts but I can't find anything to match the quality and value of a Birthdate Newspaper Gift from Papers Past.
Its a Milestone Birthday so I'm going to upgrade the packaging to the leather folder pack and I'm going to phone the order through to 01872 261220 and receive free gold printing personalisation. Its not just 1930 dates that Papers Past have in their massive newspaper archives so give them a call or go to www.paperspast.co.uk to check out the product, if you phone them on 01872 261220 ask for Ian or Sam as they are Newspaper Gift Specialists and they take pride in solving your gift problem.

What a thrill it must be for the receipient when they open their gift boxed present and see a newspaper with their date of birth printed at the top of every page.
