A timeless birthday gift that once received will be treasured for the rest of their life.  Birthday Newspapers have been a popular big birthday gift for as long as I can remember which baffles me a little.  Not because they dont make a wonderful gifts but I cannot understand where all these original newspapers are [...]

18th Birthday Personalised Calendar

 
We all know what wonderful photo editing jobs those clever graphic bods can do in Photoshop.  Well these calendars certainly win my vote for creativity.  I know that they are probably knocked together quickly by a few clicks of the mouse but that doesnt stop me wondering how they actually did it and thinking how clever [...]

Barbie at 50

Its Barbie’s 50th birthday today and hasn’t she aged well.  Barbie is still popular today despite the increase in electonic video games and other more hip doll toys such as Bratz.  More than a billion Barbie dolls have been sold since 1959 thanks in part to her ever growing change of career (more than 1oo [...]

Silverstone Ferrari Driving Experience For A Unique 30th Birthday Gift

Most of us love Ferraris, whether from a ‘wow how beautiful is that car’ perspective or from a ‘wow what a fantastic feat of engineering’ perspective, and I personally love the look of them having grown up watching Miami Vice!  But realistically, not many of us will get the chance to own one of these, so the [...]

Pocket Channel 4 Countdown Game

I struggled to decide which age category to put the Countdown electronic game in because it appeals to so many different age groups from students to OAPS. I plumped for the 70 year old age category because I think the elderly generation are probably the widest category of audience since it is shown in the [...]

The censored 21st birthday cake with the naked bottom

We are a bit slow with this story I know but it had to get a belated mention because of its absurdity.  In case you missed the story it centred upon a 21st birthday cake supplied by the bakery of Asda in Liscard, Wirral.  For her son’s 21st birdthay Gail Gordon decided to have a cake with [...]

50th Birthday Pewter Sherriff Badge

This sherriff style badge will bring out the cowboy in the birthday boy or girl.  The badge is made from pewter and has the number 50 “carefully engraved” on the front.  “Carefully Engraved” are the words used by Getting Personal to describe their product but I think it is fair to say that the number has [...]

18th Birthday Cards target young voters

This report in the Scotsman made me chuckle this morning, especially after recently watching the latest installment of The Apprentice on wednesday.  Sir Alan Sugar set the wannabe apprentices a task to come up with a new greeting card occasion to celebrate, design a card and pitch it to Clinton Cards, Celebrations, and Tesco.  The two teams [...]

Balloon and Champagne for a 60th Birthday

This is a pretty safe bet for a 60th birthday gift from Sparkling Direct.  A bottle of Moet, 60th Helium balloon, champagne flute and a couple of party poppers in a beautiful wooden presentation box for £42.99 including delivery.
Buying a drink gift for a 60th birthday can be a difficult task.  Most other tipples such [...]

21 Year Old Brandy and Newspaper Gift

A double whammy of a gift for somebody extra special on their 21st.  This 21 year old brandy and newspaper gift does’nt come cheap but it is a rare combination.  You will find old original newspaper gifts elsewhere on this site but to me a 21 year old newspaper on its own doesnt sound that [...]

40th Birthday Helium Balloon in a Box

Bizzy Balloons have got more 40th birthday balloons than there are candles on the birthday cake (well nearly).  They have single balloons, bunched balloons, star balloons and a whole range of funky colours and designs.
A balloon in a box is a great way to cause maximum birthday embarrassment when sent to the recipient at his [...]

Black Bakelite Retro Telephone

I remember we found an original one of these old bakelite telephones in my parents 1930’s house when I was just a kid.  This must figure because this iconic type 302 phone was introduced by designer Henry Dreyfuss in 1937. 
Due to advances in modern plastic design this retro imitation by Getting Personal is not made of [...]
