A birthday is a celebration of your life. The one day of the year when your entire social network is focused on you and your life. ‘Facebook’ has the applications, the ‘pokes’ and the ‘Superwalls’, Bebo has the music, and Myspace has a chaotic charm; birthday cards are always welcome, ties, socks, gift vouchers, and downloads, and so are those birthday drinks. But you are looking for that unique gift idea, the one to commemorate the birth date of someone special. You want something that is personal and unique, the one gift. A gift that will give someone you love a special memory that they will keep and remember.

Birthday gifts are always difficult to find, or are they? You don’t want any old gift. You want a gift that says something about the person and the giver.

You’ve visited the sites, and entered variations of words in the search engines and not quite found the unique memory-evoking gift. Until you thought of ‘What happened on the day they were born?’ What was the world like when they were ten, eighteen, thirty, forty etc? Wouldn’t it be fun to give them that day again?

A born day newspaper is very special. We now take our news via feeds, the interactive ‘red button,’ our mobile, and our PDAs. But with a born day gift newspaper, you can browse, look at the adverts, check the house prices from your past, and see how everything has changed. It will bring back smiles and frowns, memories, and perhaps the occasional regret but it will most definitely bring back memories full of resonance. The gift newspaper can be held, smelt, and read, it involves the senses.

Print isn’t dead but it is certainly on the retreat from the digital world. Newspapers get scarcer and more and more valued.

Johann Carolus’s Relation aller Fürnemmen und gedenckwürdigen Historie, published in 1605, as recognized as the world’s first newspaper. The Dutch Courante uyt Italien, Duytslandt, &c. of 1618 is also considered by some to be the first modern newspaper Another claimant is Opregte Haarlemsche Courant from Haarlem in northern Holland This paper was first published in 1656, is considered by some to be the oldest continuously published newspaper. In 1942 it was forced to merge with the newspaper Haarlems Dagblad by the German occupier. Since then it has been published with the subhead Oprechte Haerlemse Courant 1656 and it considers itself to be the oldest still-publishing newspaper in the world.

In the United Kingdom the first newspaper published is considered to be The Daily Courant. This single page newspaper was first published, 11th March 1702, by Edward Mallet from his rooms at the White Hart pub in Fleet Street, London. There is some dispute about the first paper published in the UK with the Norwich Post claiming to have been published in 1701.

Today’s born day newspapers offer a cornucopia of information and reminisces for the casual reader. Although you will find a fair amount of reproduction papers, especially from the 1970s it is best to buy your birthday gifts from a reputable market leader who offers a certificate of authenticity.
