“My father is notoriously difficult to buy for so this was the perfect gift for a man who has everything. At 84 he is still an avid reader of the Times despite his frailties. With the times newspaper circa 1933 which came beautifully gift boxed was another paper given free gratis. This free gift was dated 2nd June 1953 the exact date my parents met. A lovely coincidence. Thank you!”

“Disappointing experience with order. However my comments were listened to and reached a satisfactory conclusion. The advisor communication was excellent.”

Helpful Report

“Fantastic for Rangers fans, the only downside is the print is very small.”

“I bought this for my husband’s 60th birthday it’s a beautiful gift I know he will love it I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is considering this as a gift”

Helpful Report

“Arrived in good time. Decent quality mug, but after delivery charge it was just under £15 which for a plain white mug with a picture on seems a bit steep! Also, the newspaper front page wasn't straight and considering how much it cost, I would expect better. I like it, but wouldn't buy another.”

Helpful Report

“Service was very good, delivery took a little longer than expected but that was possibly due to an overlap between the order being placed and the processing schedule. The paper I ordered was a year old and had a face value of £1.50, so £39.99 does represent quite a mark-up even with a moderately fancy cardboard box. There should be a sliding scale of age to value ratio as papers become harder to locate depending on age.”

“I ordered a newspaper, framed, on 6th December. The expected delivery date was 9th -13th December but we are now at 28th December and it is still 'processing' I have tried calling but there is no answer and I have received no updated information. I understand things are slower with COVID however there should also be updates and useful tracking available which in this case there is not. Equally it seems somewhat previous to ask for a review prior to the goods being sent, especially if they are late. I will continue to attempt to contact someone for an update. I have read the reply from Historic newspapers and amended my rating, it is after all how a company deals with a problem that is important, mistakes do happen. I have still only rated it at 4 stars though as the easy access frame (so you can view the paper any time) is not so easy to access and not as expected. However the product itself is as ordered.”

“Looks amazing ordered the guardian only thing is it's the Manchester guardian and not the main paper so that was alittle disappointing. Brought for a 80th birthday.”

“Great product but only three stars due to ordering and follow up system. 1st Ordering System - relatively easy but when I went back to check the information I had put in, it didn't hold my original input. I had ordered the item to be embossed and it wasn't which I didn't realise until it actually arrived. 2nd Follow Up System - I ordered my product late on Friday afternoon and then realised that I should have entered the recipient's full name and not just first name on the certificate. I tried ringing but the office had closed for the weekend so sent an email and also online message. Unfortunately, the production team work 24/7 but the admin team only 9 - 5 Monday to Friday (??) so, by the time they got back to me on the Monday, it was too late and the item had already been produced. To be fair though, the item is brilliant and an amazing gift - just be careful when checking your input and NEVER order on Friday afternoon or over the weekend! Update: Since posting this review, the company has offered to refund my postage as a gesture of good will which I am happy to accept as it shows they read and take reviews seriously. I am, therefore, upgrading to four stars for good customer service. Still love the product!”

“Very nicely presented. Novelty one-off gift. I bought on a special offer but if was paying the full price, would be rather expensive.”

Helpful Report

“Excellent service!”

Helpful Report

“Lovely item and very nice box. It is rather large so the newspaper dances a bit inside it (premium box) but it keeps it well preserved. Perhaps a bit more tissue paper could help not have so much wasted space? Smells of old newspaper and it’s in great condition...”

“The book and newspaper articles are fantastic and delivery was quick! Only disappointment was they didn't have one of my dates for a newspaper!!!”

Helpful Report

“Having bought your newspapers before as birthday gifts I decided to order a personalised newspaper golf headline book for my husband’s 50th. The Item received was unfortunately poor quality, but I was very impressed by your customer service to put this right quickly!”

“I've taken one star off for the delay in dispatch. For the newspaper, certificate and gift message I was very happy . Neatly wrapped in tissue in a very nice red box with gold lettering.”

Helpful Report

“Well presented and efficient. The accompanying personal card arrived separately a day later and the quality did not match the quality of the gift.”

“Good service,bit expensive I thought”

Helpful Report

“The gift was ideal and my mum really likes it. I was slightly disappointed in the sizing of the certificate enclosed as I thought it would be more of an A4 size. The Victorian newspaper which accompanied the other is very hard to read, although, that's obviously the layout of papers back then which cannot be changed. The deliver was under a week and it arrived in perfect condition.”
