Commemorative Book Gifts

Commemorative Book Gifts in 5 Words:

Times, Mirror, Newspapers, Personalised, Embossed

Do you have a special event to celebrate? Then a commemorative book created from newspapers is ideal.

Recreated Treats

The joy about these gift books is they are a time capsule relevant to a life you wish to celebrate. I think they are “F&F,” which is Fun and Fascinating. These are not original newspaper gifts but rather well produced ‘recreated’ newspapers with a purpose; celebration.

See all the books at www.historic-newspapers.co.uk

Make a Mark

The most impressive option is to have a name gold embossed on the cover. It’s classy and sure to go down well, we all like seeing our name in print don’t we?

This is Your Life Edition

The most expensive but also the most impressive gift is the ‘This is your Life’ Edition as it can contain a complete reproduction newspaper from the same date every 10 years. You can have up to 10 newspapers (they may have to be bound in 2 books though).

Recreated book versions:-

Anniversary Edition
Daily Mirror Year Book
This is Your Life
Year Edition

Jim Says “These are the perfect gift to mark a milestone event like a 50^th birthday or anniversary because each book captures the background history of a life.”

Engraved Birthday Gifts

Jim — Mon, 21 Jun 2010 11:30:08 +0000

Engraved Gifts for Birthdays in 5 Words:

Silver, Glass, Personal, Cufflinks, Yo-Yo

Do you want to give a truly personal gift? Unsure what to buy for a birthday? Get an engraved gift for the personal touch.

Silver or Glass

GoneDigging offer a neat range of silver and glass engraved gifts. Most of these engraved presents are also ideal for other gift occasions like weddings, christenings, retirement or Valentine’s Day but we think that they would also be appreciated for a birthday.

Personalise Your Gift

Putting a name or pair of names on a gift will always go down well but the real key is writing something that means something to the recipient. Some of these engraved gifts are limited in the amount you can write. The Crystal Brandy Glasses allow just 60 characters but a single word can make all the difference to the gift experience.

Delivery Time

5 – 7 Days is quoted on the site.

What‘s in the Range

Jim Says “I’ve been given engraved gifts before and I love them as they give me a warm feeling as someone has gone that little bit further to give something memorable.”

History, Map, Family, Retro, Dinner

Do you want a present with a bit of nostalgia? Here’s a range of gifts that help bring history to life…

Our Top 3 Nostalgia Gift Ideas

Ever wondered about the history of your name or fancied seeing a map of your locality from the past or wondered what it was like to take dinner on the Titanic? We have some ideas that will help you in your quest for an unusual and nostalgic present:-

Family History

All you need, in one tin, to help you discover and enjoy the history of your last name. This present includes a small booklet that traces family history. All the recipient has to do is send off a registration card and by return they will receive an A4 certificate detailing the history of that name.

Historical Map of your Area

Isn’t fascinating to see how the landscape where you live has changed? This lovely gift does just that. Enter a post code or a place name and you’ll receive a map mounted on quality card. There are several options to choose from including Victorian and post WWII.

Dinner on the Titanic

All one could need to host your own Titanic themed party including recipes, a music CD, invitations, menus and suggested costumes for your guests.

Also available is a Mafia themed party.

Jim Says “I love cooking so I’d be very happy with trying out the dishes that were served on the Titanic in 1912.”

Unusual Birthday Gifts in a Tin

Jim — Wed, 07 Apr 2010 11:30:51 +0000

Unusual Tinned Gifts in 5 Words

Moon, Tree, Star, Art, Style

Are you looking for an unusual gift? Do you want to give something unique? Look at this range of tinned presents…

What’s in a Name?

GoneDigging for personalised gifts, offer a range of gifts that all come in a shiny metal tin. All manner of unusual ideas can be had for a reasonable price. Do you want to give something out of this world? There are lots to choose from:-

What’s in the tin?

Well it depends which one you go for. What you do have to remember is that the gift is not in the tin. There will be bit’s and bobs like certificates but the person that receives the gift will have to send off a form to claim the actual present.

Tin Highlights

I know for a fact that the Name a Rose and Name a Star are very popular. The Name a Rose tin allows you to register your very own rosebush and the Star version means you get to name a star after a loved one or husband*.

Jim Says “My favourite is the Pop Art version and if someone buys it for me I’ll be turning Murphy the cat into an Andy Warhol classic.”

*Yes it is a joke.

Pretty Good Mixer

These vodka labels will make a great impression. Just have a look at the quality of the design! They’ve all been created to be in keeping with mainstream brands and go further in their look. So you’ll make a lasting impression with a great looking label that includes their name.

Personalised Vodka Gift Label Options

Name of recipient
A unique messageFurther options
Gift card
Add a luxury gift box

Give them Bottle

They then put the bottle in the freezer and one birthday bash later you’ll have pleasant memories – job done.

A Word About the Vodka
I’ve read the notes and it says ‘triple distilled’ and the ‘…highest grade molasses’ was used in the making of this spirit. So it’s a decent drink besides being a bottle they will most likely keep for a long time. Maybe they’ll put a candle in it or turn it into a lamp shade.

Remember Kids

Drink responsibly…

Jim Says “Now they’ll be good mixers.”
