Your newspaper gift can be further personalised by adding the recipient’s name, the occasion, and a personal greeting on the Certificate of Authenticity, which acts as a guarantee that your copy of the Observer is a genuine original newspaper.

Such a unique and wonderful gift. It was a present for a friend who turned 40 and she and her family and friends have had a great deal of enjoyment out of the paper. Great service, fast shipping and wonderful presentation.

This was a 60th birthday present for my brother and he loved it! Great condition & really nicely presented.
January 20 2021An excellent choice of gift for a loved one!
I bought a newspaper as a gift for my husband’s birthday. He was very pleased with both the newspaper and the presentation box it was supplied in. The quality of the newspaper was excellent, and the presentation box displays it very well and gives great protection. The delivery of the order was very quick, considering we’re currently in lockdown. Overall I would recommend this to anyone looking for a gift for a loved one, or maybe for themselves!
January 20 2021This was an 80 th gift for my FIL
This was an 80 th gift for my FIL, he was overwhelmed and absolutely loves it. It was a 1941 scottish daily mail in quite good condition. Maybe a little expensive for what it was.
January 20 2021Absolutely brilliant present
Absolutely brilliant present. I gave it to my fiancé for his 50th birthday and we enjoyed reading it together. The highlight was that exactly 50 years ago Great Britain was trying to join EU and 50 years down the line exiting He loved it. I would recommend it

Having bought your newspapers before as birthday gifts I decided to order a personalised newspaper golf headline book for my husband’s 50th. The Item received was unfortunately poor quality, but I was very impressed by your customer service to put this right quickly!
