Making People Feel Special
Our Purpose
Making people feel special is the founding purpose of bethefrontpage.com.
We use the instantly recognised and iconic format of the Newspaper (that has symbolised “Importance & Significance” since the 16th century) to craft a beautiful gift and create a delightfully uplifting and memorable ‘Reveal’ moment.
We hope you enjoy creating.
How We Started
A 100th Birthday
bethefrontpage.com was inspired by a search for a 100th birthday gift for my aunt. That search quickly highlighted just how difficult it was to find a gift that could live up to the significance of such a milestone occasion. I wanted a gift that was unique & personal but found mostly clichés and generic gifts.
That 100th birthday gift search was the spark that inspired bethefrontpage.com.
Why Newspapers Make Great Gifts
Newspapers are one of the most powerful forms of communication ever created. They have a fascinating history that dates back to the 16th century when newspapers were printed on a single page.
Nowadays millions of newspapers are produced every day, however, one thing that has never changed is the impact they have.
We took that impact and added durability, design, uplifting writing, and beautiful staging, to create a special and memorable gift.
