This is the perfect birthday gift for that friend who just won't go digital
We all know that person who refuses to use a Kindle, still gets physical magazines, and learns about current events from a newspaper instead of Twitter. Whether it's your grandma, your dad or your friend who insists on only listening to vinyl, there's no way they're making an Amazon wishlist.
This birthday book from Uncommon Goods is the perfect gift for the luddite in your life. Starting with the day they were born, every page of the book is a New York Times front page from their birthday. The bound book is engraved in gold with the recipients name and birth date. As they look back at history through the lens of their birthday, this book is both extremely personal and universally appealing.
If for whatever reason they don't like the Times, the book is also available in Washington Post and Los Angeles Times versions. If the digital-phobic loved one is your significant other, there's an anniversary version, as well as baseball and football team histories for the sports-obsessed.
The Custom Birthday Book is available for $99.95. There's a 20-page minimum, but lets face it — no one born after 1996 knows what a newspaper is anyway.
