Newspaper Back Issues

Original archive newspapers make the perfect gift idea to commemorate someone's birthday, a wedding anniversary, a christening or a retirement. These Historic Newspaper gifts are genuine and original Newspaper editions (not copies), from a date of your choice.

Our old historic newspaper back issues date back to the early 19th Century, and hold some extremely old and rare newspapers. We can supply newspapers gifts for most dates over the last one hundred years - and have greatest date coverage from our Times newspaper archive. We also have a wide range of other original gift newspapers including The Telegraph, The Financial Times, the Guardian, and the Independent Newspapers, all of which are great present ideas. We also have stocks of the Daily Express, the Daily Mail, The Daily Mirror and The Sun, as well as Scottish Titles like the Glasgow Herald and the Scotsman.

Our archive newspaper gifts are a particularly popular for:

• birthday presents. These Newspaper gifts are often used to mark special birthday anniversaries, as 30th, 40th, 50th 60th and 70th birthdays.
• an anniversary gift. An archive newspaper makes an interesting and unusual Wedding Anniversary gift that allows the recipients to relive the memories of their wedding day. The 1st wedding anniversary is the 'Paper' anniversary, and many of our customers choose a newspaper gift as the perfect idea for the 1st anniversary present.
• a christening present. As the child grows up, he or she will always have a record of what happened on the day they were born
• a leaving or retirement present. Many employees complete years of loyal service with the same company. Our old newspaper gifts make an imaginative farewell gift idea, marking the day they started employment at the company they are about to leave.

This original newspaper gift idea is made even more special because you can personalise this present for the recipient through the personalised Certificate of Authenticity. This certifies that the newspaper gift you receive is a genuine original newspaper. You can personalise this great present idea by recording the recipient's name, the occasion being commemorated, the date of the newspaper, as well as a short message. All our original archive gift newspapers come in presentation gift packaging.

These Historic Newspaper archives have been collected over the years, from Libraries, Universities, and Government Departments as they were seeking to release storage space. Many have come from collections overseas. This has allowed the historic archives to be built up, so that we can now offer gift newspapers as the perfect gift idea to commemorate birthdays, anniversaries, christenings and retirements.
