Newspapers from the 1970's and 1980's

1970 newspapers and 1980 newspapers have been the most popular dates ordered this week. The 1970 back dated editions have been bought equally for Birthday Presents or 40th (Ruby) Wedding Anniversary Gifts whereas the 1980 "Times" have been for Date of Birth Unique Gifts - an ideal gift for a 30 year old who appears already to have got "everything"!
All of the newspapers that we sell are original, genuine editions and definitely NOT reprints, nor do we insert "funny" headlines. The papers don't need mocking up, they already are a piece of social history and, being from the persons actual date of birth, a brilliant gift which combines originality and spontaneity.
For the time being there is a Discount Code available to use if you upgrade to the Leather Folder Package (but I'm not going to tell you it in this blog so to retrieve the  discount code simply go to the home page of www.paperspast.co.uk).

67th Birthday, 35th Birthday and 59th Birthday

I enjoy reading the daily column in the newspaper which reports famous peoples birthdays. Todays, the 5th October, announced that Michael Morpurgo, writer and former Children's Laureate is 67 years old, making him born in 1943, I loved reading his stories to the kids. Kate Winslet the actress was born today in 1975 so she celebrates her 35th birthday and finally Bob Geldof is 59, born back in 1951. Bob being described as both a singer and activist. Happy Birthday to them and Papers Past wishes Many Happy Returns to everyone born on 5th October. I wonder if Michael, Kate or Bob were given their Birthdate "Times" Newspaper??? An original, genuine, full and complete edition can be ordered from Papers Past, not just for famous people but all those difficult to buy for people in your family, those ones who say they have got "everything". Solve your gift buying problems by speaking with Ian or Sam on (01872) 261220 or go to www.paperspast.co.uk
