Who Doesn’t Love a Trip Down Memory Lane?

1988 was quite the year for cinema, with the premieres of both Big starring Penny Marshall and Tom Hanks and Die Hard starring Bruce Willis and Alan Rickman. Our personalised gifts range for the year 1988 also include an incredible History of Music Decade book that explores how magical the ‘80s were for music.

Personalise your gift with the recipient’s name and message or opt for an original newspaper from the date of your choice to give them a genuine piece of history. You can even give them a front page reprint, which are available either in a frame or as a canvas print. What a great way to commemorate a particular day from 1998!

Very well made, lovely gift for my dad's 80th.

I was a bit worried how this would be, as its a lot of money, but I'm so pleased I decided to order it. The order process is very straight forward, I went for the hardback copy in a presentation box for my dad's 80th and had his name embossed on the front cover and a lovely personal message inside. It arrived really quickly about 3 or 4 days and in perfect condition. I am very happy with the quality of the book and found it fascinating flicking through some of the pages. I know my dad is going to love reading this. Highly recommend, you won't regret it. 5*

Very pleased with this

Very pleased with this, just a little surprised that the majority of the pages were Daily Mirror front pages. It would have been nice to see a selection, albeit I realise there were not so many papers to choose from many years ago.

Choose Historic Newspapers If you want an absorbing and high quality gift

The recipient was thrilled by the gift of newspaper front pages from each year of their life. I gather that it was presented beautifully and the quality was excellent. It was really easy to choose a gift from the well-described and illustrated items on the website and it was good to be able to select from differnt price ranges. I would definitely go to Historic newspapers in the future.
