How to tell that special person that you love them

Filed under: Personalised gifts — Tags: , , , — admin @ 2:55 pm

Have you ever been so much in love that you feel you might burst? You think about someone all the time and can’t wait to see them. But when you do meet up, you get tongue tied, you don’t know what to say or things just come out all wrong? Well, why don’t you put everything you want to say down in a personalised newspaper article for your loved one? Take time to get all your thoughts together, make sure that you have included everything you want to say, perhaps even include a flattering photo of yourself, then have the whole piece placed within a broadsheet or tabloid to show how much you love them. Some may feel that revealing your feelings for all to see is a sweet, romantic gesture. At the very least, it is bound to make them smile.

Whether as gift ideas for a birthday, anniversary, or just because you feel like it, a bit of effort on your part can go a long way to cementing your future relationship. Writing your own article means that you can say exactly what you want. Of course, everything should be presented in the best possible taste, but there is no reason why an article about a loved one shouldn’t be beautifully written from the heart. Take some of the allotted space to promote yourself as the ideal partner, include a flattering photograph of yourself and the article is done.

We at inthepaper.co.uk can provide the ultimate in personalised gifts to woo the hardest hearts.

Ever want to be another Errol Flynn?

Filed under: Birthday Gifts — Tags: , , , — admin @ 2:44 pm

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.

Its Always Difficult To Say Sorry

Filed under: Say Sorry — Tags: , , , , — admin @ 10:57 am

It is often difficult to tell someone you love them, or apologise for something stupid or insensitive you have done. You may rehearse your speech a thousand times, even practice it, but when it comes to actually saying it, it all comes out wrong and the moment passes.

Buying a card or flowers is, of course, a step in the right direction. But sometimes, it can be regarded as taking the easy option - and it doesn’t really get to the root of the problem.

For some, rows happen on a regular basis. Whether it’s down to not helping enough around the house, or going out drinking with mates too often, just saying sorry with flowers and a card is not enough; it has become clichéd, and the apology eventually means nothing at all.

With a bit of time and effort, however, there are opportunities to put matters right. You need to show the person you love that you understand what has gone wrong, and you are willing to try hard to put things right. Personalised gifts, like fake newspaper articles, make great gift ideas, and can be a heartfelt way of apologising to the one you love. With some time and effort, you can say everything you want to say to someone. Personalised gifts like these remain as a permanent reminder about how you feel, and can act as a gentle reminder in the future too.

We at Inthepaper help to provide the perfect personalised gifts and articles to say you are sorry.

Celebrating A Birthday In Style

Filed under: Birthday Gifts — Tags: , , , — admin @ 10:48 am

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.

Its Time For James Bond, Not Walter Mitty

Filed under: Birthday Gifts — Tags: , , , — admin @ 10:01 am

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.

The Ultimate In Personalised Gifts

Filed under: Personalised gifts — Tags: , , , — admin @ 8:45 am

Ever thought how nice it would be to have your big day immortalised in print? Not many of us are spotted by Country Life, or live the glitterati lifestyle and readily get our exploits reported by the likes of Hello! or OK! However, there is no reason these days why we should not help ourselves to a small wedge of the glamorous lifestyle through personalised newspaper articles.

Think of a special occasion that you would like to have immortalised. It could be a loved one’s birthday, Mother’s Day, wedding anniversary or anything else that you felt should be remembered in years to come. Choose an article heading, perhaps a special celebration for a landmark birthday, a story around a retirement, the life story of a local community champion, in fact anything that highlights the achievements of someone close to you. Then choose the typeset, it could imitate your usual choice of daily paper, add a picture and that’s it. The article will be placed alongside other articles thus creating the illusion that your person’s special surprise was part of the general news of that day.

Personalised gifts like these can provide the recipient with endless hours of fun for many years to come where the page can be framed and displayed. The article does not have to be a mass produced template either. Budding journalists can author the article themselves which all adds to the authenticity of the piece.

We at In The Paper help to create the ultimate in personalised gifts for any occasion.

In these days of instant celebrity, people seem to enjoy being in the spotlight so why not choose a suitable headline, produce an up to date photo, then get a personalised gift firm to do the rest.

The reality of anyone getting their name in the newspapers these days isn’t so incredible where the world of celebrity Big Brother and other reality TV programmes constantly flood the airwaves. Certain reality TV stars have become immortalised through appearances on Big Brother and the like.

Whether a fan of reality TV and instant celebrity or not, their faces are never out of the newspapers and almost everybody would love the chance to have their fifteen minutes of fame for themselve.  For gift ideas with a difference, your partner, friend or loved one could have their fifteen minutes of fame courtesy of our personalised gifts.

You are able to edit the articles in whatever way you like, so you could add a few little details specific to your loved one and really make it stand out.

Gift Ideas for a Green Fingered Friend

Filed under: Birthday Gifts — Tags: , , , , — admin @ 1:28 pm

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.

Great Birthday Gifts for That First Special Year

Filed under: Birthday Gifts — Tags: , , , , — admin @ 1:21 pm

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.

Gift Ideas for a Football Fan

Filed under: fake newspaper — Tags: , , , — admin @ 1:16 pm

Anyone who is a football fan will know that supporting your team is all about loyalty. Some people are heavily involved in football from a young age, whilst others do not discover the joy of this team sport until they reach adulthood. No matter what age you are, the principles of supporting your football team remain the same. You stick with your team through thick and thin, no matter what.

Football is a passion and supporters are often hugely dedicated to the sport. With football playing such a huge part in people’s lives, when it comes to getting birthday presents or personalised gifts, what better idea than to come up with a football related present?

A true fan will be inundated with birthday presents such as football shirts and merchandise, so the key to football present success is to choose something a little different.

At In the Paper we have a great selection of football related newspaper articles, which make ideal birthday presents for a football lover. Our titles can be based around any team at all so it doesn’t matter who the person supports; you can still make their day.

Whether their team has stormed its way into the Champions League several seasons or never made it out of the conference tables, people are still proud of their boys - or girls - so football should really be celebrated in true style.

Our fake newspaper titles give you the opportunity to make somebody the top goal scorer or their teams new signing, an achievement which most football fans can only dream of.
