What do you buy the man who doesn't want anything for his 70th birthday? I might also add that he hates surprises and is very difficult to buy for. I toyed with the idea of a single historic newspaper, from the year of his birth, but then came across this product as an upscaled alternative. The front page of The Mirror, from 1950 to 2019, beautifully presented in a leather A3 size book format. (If I'd been willing to wait a month, I could have had this year too.) I could see him dreading opening this mysterious package, in case he didn't like what was inside and I was disappointed by his reaction. As it was, he carefully opened the outer wrapper, then opened the sturdy titled box, to reveal the book inside. I didn't hear another peep out of him for the next two hours! We were both amazed at how many things we remembered, but would not have been able to place as happening around the time of his birthday. As a special present this was a winner.
