AD Gifted with Historic Newspapers
What do you buy the dad, grandad, step-dad, uncle, father-in-law that has everything? Whether it’s their birthday, Christmas, Father’s Day, retirement or just because – sometimes these men in our lives can be hard to buy for. Especially, I find, if they’re not ‘typical’ blokes that, according to gifting and card websites like gifts that involve sheds, football, Only Fools and Horses or generic pints of beer.
Personalised Newspaper Gifts teamed with alcohol based gifts could be perfect? What’s better for a history and port loving dad than a bottle of Graham’s Tawny Port and a copy of The Times from the day he was born. Super cool, right? There are tonnes of different papers to choose from and also lots of different alcohol to go with them. I could choose from the following papers and picked The Times;
- Daily Express
- Daily Herald
- Evening News
- Evening Standard
- Financial Times
- Guardian
- Scottish Daily Express
- Scottish Daily Mail
- Times
- Ulster Daily Express
- Yorkshire Post
- Scotsman

With 200,000 original newspapers in stock dating back over 100 years Historic Newspapers have unique gifts for any occasion which are actually genuine old newspapers from the date of your choice. Whether it’s your dad’s wedding day or a birthday or special work anniversary – you can find a newspaper from that date.
These are historic newspapers from the world’s largest archive are the perfect gift to commemorate a birthday, anniversary or other special occasions. Our private archive of over 3 million newspapers is an unparalleled collection, growing every day, created primarily from UK newspapers. We house both national and regional titles, including Sunday papers free of any extra charges that usually apply to Sunday editions. Spanning the last four centuries, anyone can buy old newspapers and gift them to those fascinated by history.
There are also lots of other options if your dad is into his football history with Personalised Football History Books or even Personalised War History Books if your dad is a history and WW1 or WW11 nut! There’s also plenty of Alcohol and Newspaper Gift Sets to pick from too. Obviously these gift packs are perfect for all genders, not just uncles, dads or other halves but I gifted one of these sets to my step-dad (although I hate the phrase step dad!) so that’s the angle that I’m taking today. I always find female relatives much easier to buy for to be honest, dads seems to just buy themselves what they want and get on with it, don’t they?

I think these are such great thoughtful gifts and are a really nice keepsake but also include something (a little drink!) your loved one can enjoy around their birthday too. What do you think? Would you purchase an historic newspaper for a loved one in your life?
