BEFORE YOU UPLOAD
The four things people ask first
Will my old or scratched photo work?
Yes — if your photo has dust, scratches, or general wear, we'll touch it up in Photoshop at no extra charge as part of our service.
Not sure about the resolution, or have other concerns about your image? Just reach out before you buy — we're happy to take a look and let you know.
Can I change the headline wording?
Yes - you're welcome to reword the headline. Our only recommendation is to keep the total number of characters similar to avoid the font getting too big or too small and not looking great.
Do I get to see it before it's printed?
Absolutely - your art proof will be emailed to your for your review and approval in one buisness day for your review and print approval.
How long does it take?
We will email the art-proof for your reivew and approval the business day after your order is placed.
We will ship your framed print one business day after your approval to proceed is received.

MORE QUESTIONS
Everything Else
Do you gift wrap?
Yes! All orders are wrapped with care.
First, we protect your framed print in soft tissue paper and seal it with a sticker. To ensure it arrives safely, we add corner protectors before wrapping it in eco-friendly honeycomb paper and a paper ribbon.
Do I need a scanner?
No. If you need to digitalise an old photo, a photograph taken of the original with a smartphone is a great option if you don't have access to a scanner.
Remember to take your photo in a room with good natural light to help avoid shadows.
Is a personal message required?
No - the personal message at the bottom of the print is completely optional.
Where's my art-proof?
Please check your email spam folder. Your digital proof will be emailed the next business day after your order is placed.
SHIPPING
When will it arrive?
Digital proofs land next business day in your inbox.
Framed prints ship free by Express Post from metro Melbourne one business day after we've received your print approval. Most orders are received 1-2 business days of shipping.
RETURNS AND EXCHANGES
If something's not right
We'll always send you a digital proof before anything goes to print — nothing is produced until you've given it the go-ahead. Because every piece is made specifically for you, we're unable to offer refunds once printing has begun.
Your order is then carefully packaged to protect it in transit. If it does arrive damaged, just get in touch and we'll send a replacement out as soon as possible.
Which milestone birthday are you shopping for?
Not sure which birthday you're shopping for? Here's a quick guide to help you find the perfect gift — and why a personalised newspaper hits differently at each milestone.
18th Birthday — The start of everything
Turning 18 is a genuine landmark — the first vote, the first year of real independence. A personalised newspaper from their birth year is a meaningful way to mark where it all began, and a keepsake they'll actually hold onto.
21st Birthday — Still one of the big ones
The 21st is still celebrated properly in Australia, and it deserves a gift that goes beyond a bottle and a card. A custom front page from their birth year — packed with real headlines and cultural moments — makes for something genuinely one-of-a-kind.
30th Birthday — Nostalgia with a sense of humour
The 30th can catch people off guard. A personalised newspaper from the mid-1990s is a great conversation starter — think Neighbours at its peak, Aussie internet arriving, and a Chiko Roll for under two dollars.
40th Birthday — Old enough to appreciate it
By 40, people have enough perspective to find nostalgia genuinely moving — not just funny. A newspaper from the mid-1980s taps into that beautifully. This is the birthday where a meaningful, personal gift lands far better than something generic.
50th Birthday — Half a century, properly marked
A 50th deserves something with a bit of weight to it. A framed newspaper print from the 1970s — featuring the events, prices, and pop culture of their birth year — makes a striking wall piece that tells their story at a glance.
60th Birthday — A genuine trip through history
For someone turning 60, a newspaper from the 1960s carries real historical weight — the moon landing was just around the corner, Australian rules football was in a golden era, and the country was changing fast. It's a reminder of just how much they've witnessed.
70th, 80th, 90th & 100th Birthday — Living history
For those celebrating their 70th birthday and beyond, this gift carries something deeper. These are people who have watched Australia transform across generations — and a personalised newspaper from their birth year reflects the extraordinary span of that journey. A truly special keepsake for a truly special person.
Every newspaper is made to order with their name, photo, and a personalised headline — available as a digital file ready the next business day, or as a framed print with free Express Post Australia-wide.
