Their birthdate, brought to life with real headlines, prices, events and pop culture, designed on classic parchment-style pages they'll want to frame.
Made for milestone birthdays, retirements, Christmas and the people who say they "don't need anything."
From the president in office to the number one song and the price of a stamp, this page captures their exact birthday in one beautiful sheet. It's the one they'll frame.
The biggest stories the world woke up to when they were born, set out like a real front page. Watch them say "I never knew that happened on my birthday."
A gallon of gas, a movie ticket, the minimum wage and exactly what $1 could buy. The page everyone reads out loud at the table, followed by "I want to go back."
Every pack is built for one name and one date from historical records of that exact day and year. Not a template with a name dropped in: their day, their year, their story.
Gift-givers on the moment their person opened it.
“My husband is impossible to shop for. For his 65th I typed in his birthday, saw the preview and ordered it in five minutes. I printed the summary page and framed it. He read the old gas prices out loud to everyone at dinner and laughed until he cried.”
Linda K.Retired teacher, Dayton, OH“Mom turned 70 and already has everything. I ordered hers on my lunch break and had the PDF before my shift ended. She called me that night just to read me the headlines from the morning she was born. She had never heard half of them.”
Tasha R.ER nurse, Charlotte, NC“I made one for each of my three kids and tucked them into their memory boxes. The famous birthdays page was the big hit; my son shares his birthday with a rock star and won't stop telling people. Way cheaper than the printed ones, and no waiting on the mail.”
Marisol G.Office manager, San Antonio, TX“I remembered my brother's 80th the night before the party. Printed his pack on cream paper, slipped it in a folder, done. He spent the whole afternoon showing everyone what a dollar bought the year he was born. Best nineteen dollars I spent all year.”
