Frequently asked questions
What makes My First 18 Years different from birth year books?
Who wants a reference book that’s just full of dry information? The great feature of the year books in My First 18 Years is that they’re geared to personal memories, promising you a nostalgic trip back in time every time you open their pages. As you relive the pleasures of your first eighteen years, even vague memories will come alive again – who you dated and danced with, the clothes you wore and the toys you played with, the holiday you had and the schoolfriends you were close to, the hit songs that were etched on your heart. As the event descriptions and evocative photos take you straight back to your childhood and teens, an almost forgotten world will come alive once again!
What does My First 18 Years contain?
In each year, you’ll relive iconic sporting moments, key UK events, international news stories and all the scandals, trends and TV shows that hit the headlines. You’ll recall those must-have products from toys to confectionery, from vehicles to video games. My First 18 Years also captures the hit movies, iconic adverts and eye-popping fashions of each and every year. Especially fun is the annual music top 10 list of the big hits of each year, all of which you can listen to again via a link in the book.
What makes this a better gift than other gifts?
This is an original and personal gift like no other. When it comes to gift-giving, nothing matches putting someone in touch with the music, movies, TV programmes and big global happenings that shaped the world they grew up in.
