• Luxury gift box available

Our best-selling birthday book is now available in a soft back. Get ready to go down in history as the best gift-giver in the family.

What exactly is our Birthday Book? It is a compilation of news events from each year of their lives. The book contains a front-page newspaper from every year since their birth. Have you ever wondered what has happened throughout history on your birthday? Well, this is the book for you.

No need for newspaper clippings stored in an old box anymore, the news events, as they were told at the time, have been encapsulated in a beautiful softback cover so your memories are protected. The thickness of the birthday book will depend greatly on the age of the recipient, for every front page we include a ‘remember when’ page. These pages create the perfect space for even more personalisation. A space to add photos and messages relating to that specific year.

The Daily Mirror is Britain’s best-selling post-war newspaper since the 1970s since it was established in 1903. Through broad journalistic content, including photographs (something many competing titles didn’t utilise), advertisements etc. the Daily Mirror provides superior insight into the past.

Ordering for a Birthday after 1998? Your birthday newspaper book will include twenty-five historical newspaper front pages, with each page followed by a ‘remember when’ page to allow you to add those extra special memories into the book. Don’t worry though, their date of birth will still be the date embossed on the cover. 

Please note: The Mirror was on strike from 26th March 1955 through to 20th April 1955. Should your chosen birth date fall within the strike period, we’ll insert a page into your Birthday Edition – Newspaper Book explaining that there were no papers available on that date.

Please note: The birthday newspaper book will only include this year’s birthday page if it is ordered 30 days after the selected date. There will be occasions (very rarely) when a front page for your exact date isn’t available. For example, no newspapers are printed on Christmas Day, Good Friday and during strikes, in which case a front page from the day after will be used.

First Dates Available

• Mirror Birthday Book (from 1920)

Please note: If you select a date prior to this, your newspaper book will include the first year available from your chosen newspaper.
