What a better gift for the person that has everything is a newspaper of the day they were born. You can choose to get an actual newspaper of the birth date, a decorative plaque of the birth year or create birthday cards with trivia from your loved one’s birthday. Either way, it’s the perfect unique gift for the person who has everything.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Visit Comforthouse.com and decide which package you wish to purchase. You can select from standard, deluxe framed or premier packages. The difference is not the news in the newspaper, but the presentation of the newspaper. Standard is packaged in a showcase of clear vinyl, while the premier is placed in a hand bound leather binder with gold embossed personalization.

  2. Step 2

    Go to Seniorstore.com. Seniorstore offers simulated birthday newspapers for the gift recipient’s birth year. The presentation comes in two styles; 10” x 12” black frame with gold accents or a tabletop version. The tabletop version comes with a personalized message recorded in your own voice that attaches to the back of the frame.

  3. Step 3

    Create your own day you were born certificate with Symphonic Software. Upon purchase and registration of the software, you can create your own birthday newspaper greeting cards with actual events from the person’s birth date. The software allows you to create customized one-page newspapers with events and trivia from dates starting from the year 1900 to 2002. Free upgrades are available for dates from 2003 to present. Try the free demo before you purchase the software.

Tips & Warnings
  • When purchasing the newspaper, make sure you have the actual birth date. You don’t want to order the newspaper for the incorrect date.
