Have you ever been short of gift ideas to impress a certain someone? Why not create a news story with yourself as the central character, and make it seem authentic by having it feature alongside the leading national and international stories of the day?
You could, of course, suggest personalised newspaper articles as birthday gifts and get someone else to do this for you, but it wouldn’t be quite the same. They may get some of the important details wrong, the pictures they use may not be exactly the ones that you would have chosen yourself and other people’s memories and imagination are always different from your own. It’s much better to create your own story, utilise as much truth and fiction as you want, use some flattering photographs and a headline to knock people’s socks off, then get it framed and smile as new acquaintances take a longer look when you are out of the room, and regard you a little differently when you return.
There are all sorts of article scenarios that you could choose for yourself. Birthdays are a fairly obvious choice and of course would be time sensitive. You may opt for something a bit more mysterious and therefore potentially more believable. Photos of you going on a tiger shoot in Madhya Pradesh in India perhaps? A borrowed tiger skin would always create the great white hunter scenario of a latter day Errol Flynn.
We at inthepaper.co.uk can re-create whatever fantasy life you want, and these personalised gifts can be delivered to you framed and ready within 24 hours.
Ever wondered what it would be like to celebrate your birthday with a glass of champagne on top of Mount Everest? Well, to start with, actually climbing it might be physically impossible for most of us, and the thin atmosphere makes it very difficult to drink through an oxygen mask. However, creating that particular scenario, as part of a selection of birthday gifts for a partner, friend or family member, could be a lot of fun.
From time to time, many of us inhabit a world of dreams and possibilities, where climbing to the top of Mount Everest would seem to be exciting, but in reality impossible to accomplish. For someone who enjoys hill walking and sees the Himalayas as their Nirvana, but their family commitments and finances have always stood in the way, taking that step to achieving it tends to be reduced to part of the family narrative; something that perhaps dad intends to do someday.
So why not get him in the mood? You could prepare the ground for this marathon climb, by producing a personalised fake newspaper in his honour. Take the photo of him nearing the top of Ben Nevis, and transpose it into a newspaper article, with a headline which announces he is at the summit of Mount Everest. This could be the build up to the real thing - or just something to make him smile.
We at Inthepaper present the world, and, through our personalised gifts, allow our clients to become part of everything that it has to offer.
In today’s world of instant celebrity, the thought of any one of us hitting the newspaper headlines isn’t perhaps as unusual as it once was. If we go back sixty years to The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, a short story written by James Thurber, which became a 1947 film starring Danny Kaye, the idea of having an alter ego, or fantasy life, was seen as deviant and bizarre. Mitty imagined himself in such diverse roles as a fighter pilot, a surgeon, even a killer. Larger than life actors Jim Carrey, Mike Myers and Sacha Baron Cohen have all reportedly shown an interest in starring in a remake of this particular film.
Times and attitudes seem to have changed, where the media focus on celebrity and numerous reality TV shows has catapulted many very ordinary people to superstardom. Gone is the stigma attached to having a fantasy life. The time for self-promotion is definitely here, and for those erstwhile James Bonds amongst us, now is the opportunity to get your name up in lights.
Personalised newspapers provide the perfect solution to finding birthday gifts, for those larger than life characters we want to be. Whether they have aspirations of being a racing driver, an international footballer, or a superspy, our friend or family member’s identities can be interlaced with news articles of the day, to make their position within that story seem utterly believable. We at Inthepaper provide personalised gifts, which can turn a Walter Mitty into a James Bond in the twinkling of an eye.
If you ask yourself to think of a great self-promoter, someone like Mohammad Ali would come to mind almost immediately. However if we went around saying ‘I’m the greatest’, then we would not be taken too seriously and the term ‘braggart’ comes to mind. So what was it about Ali who unashamedly promoted himself and his achievements yet at the same time was adored by the public?
You could say that what he purported to be true and the actual truth were not too far away from each other. In fact many people still consider him to be the greatest boxer in history. The boxing profession is full of self promoters, yet none touched the public’s heart like Mohammad Ali.
So how do the ordinary mortals amongst who haven’t the talent and charisma of Ali set out to self promote? What can we learn from him? He was certainly a unique human being, so perhaps branding ourselves as unique in a particular field is a good place to start.
For gift ideas with a difference, why not treat your loved one with a personalised newspaper to show what traits you admire about them? You can fill them with confidence and show them how much they are admired.

Gardening is one of the most popular pastimes within British culture, and the beauty about it is that it can come in various forms and can be enjoyed by people if all ages. As people become older, they often will become fonder of gardening and for this reason, it is a great hobby which should be celebrated when people give birthday gifts.
Using hobbies as a base for gift ideas is one of the most effective ways of coming up with personalised gifts and birthday presents which really hit the mark, and actually mean something to the recipient. Gardening is no exception to this rule, and at In The Paper we want to share in celebrating the joy of our green fingered friends.
Perhaps you are buying birthday presents for somebody who has a garden Alan Titchmarsh would be proud of. Landscaping and ponds, not to mention vibrant plants and classic garden benches, form the base of their garden and immaculate and pristine greenery is the order of the day. Using one of our personalised articles to celebrate these achievements is a great and light hearted way of showing somebody you care.
Our newspaper articles can be fully edited, so even if you are taking our Gardener of the Year title, you can still adapt it to fit various scenarios. Maybe the recipient is a keen vegetable grower and has a vegetable patch to be proud of, or they have made their garden into a stunning play area for the children. Whichever category they fall into, recognising their success is a guaranteed winner.
A baby’s first birthday is one of the most special occasions that a family can experience. It is a joyous occasion where close friends and family get to celebrate the one year anniversary of the birth of that adorable little person.
When it comes to buying birthday presents for a child’s first birthday it can be really difficult. Parents will usually give you an indication of what they may like and babies will be pleased with most things. However, usually they will be inundated with birthday gifts and choose one or two favourites that they prefer to play with.
It is worth remembering that a baby’s first birthday is more special for the parents than it is for the child, and for this reason a really nice touch with regards to first birthday presents is to include a present for the parents as well as the child.
At In the Paper, we have an extensive range of newspaper articles which are based around birthdays with all ages, including first birthday; all having their own titles. Giving a newspaper article celebrates the occasion perfectly and displays how happy you are for the parents, as well as the child.
The other great thing about using personalised newspaper articles for first birthday presents is that it is a gift that can be kept and the child can look back at when they are older. Baby grows and rattles might be appreciated at the time, but they will be nowhere to be seen in years to come.
With the British Grand Prix now here to stay at Silverstone, Formula One fans all over the country are jumping with joy at the fact that not only is the Grand Prix here to stay, but the track and venue is going to be bigger and better than ever.
2009 was a year to mark when people believed it was the last time at Silverstone, but 2010 is a year to celebrate this fast and furious sport and what better way to do this than to tailor birthday presents and gifts towards this sport for somebody who feels the need for speed.
At In The Paper our sporting fake newspaper articles are always well received as birthday presents or personalised gifts. As gift ideas for men it is a macho topic but enables you to make them part of something they would secretly love to be involved in. You can create your own article detail so could design a shock headline where the recipient is chosen by McLaren instead of Jenson Button or becomes the British team’s rival by joining Braun or Red Bull.
A personalised formula one newspaper also makes a suitable birthday present for women. Formula One is a luxurious sport and women love fast cars just as much as men, not to mention the champagne lifestyle and celebrity status that comes with it.
For a present that really does reflect life in the fast lane, our personalised newspapers make the perfect gift ideas for anyone who likes to be in the driving seat.
We all know that somebody who always has a tale to tell, or exaggerates things to make a better story. We usually love being around this sort of person as they are entertaining and funny and appear to lead such a colourful life.
Trying to come up with gift ideas can be really difficult for a person who seems to have done it all, as no matter what you get them, the chances are they will have had a better present or experienced something equally as fabulous. The secret to getting this right is to choose birthday presents which celebrate them and their tales, as opposed to trying to better them.
The best story teller should be able to laugh at themselves and be able to recognise this special trait of theirs. That is why our bespoke newspaper articles at In The Paper make great personalised gifts or birthday presents for a person of this nature.
Titles such as ‘Britain’s Biggest Fibber’ are perfect for this type of person, and the beauty about our titles is that you can tailor your article so that it applies to them and their stories.
Quite often a person who is known for telling tales will stick to one or two types of subject, perhaps it is their sporting achievements or their wild night antics, so choosing a specific scenario and creating an article around this is a great way to create personalised gifts that may even have them stuck for words.
There are a lot of different ways to tell someone that you love them. Some people say it with flowers, some people say it with gifts, and a really good way to say it is with words.
At In The Paper we offer our customers some of the best romantic fake newspaper articles which make perfect anniversary gifts, Valentines gifts or birthday gifts for that special someone in your life.
All angles are covered, so if you want to make a simple declaration of love then selecting titles such as Best Boyfriend or Girlfriend says it clearly. As you can fully edit our articles you are free to include your own personal reasons as to what makes them the best partner ever.
We also provide articles which go a little bit deeper and can really touch someone’s heart. So you can tell your partner they are the most beautiful person in the world or even use the article as a proposal, which is not only a novel and unique way to propose, but will always be a good story to tell.
