  • Birthday Time Capsules

    Over the past few years I have been recreating what a time capsule would have been like as if it was buried it on the day I was born.

    I have collected a number of things, mostly buying them from charity shops, Ebay or Amazon that would have been available in the shops on the day I was born - mostly magazines, and things like that.

    No, I haven't buried them in the garden or anywhere else for that matter, and I don't intend to do so, but I have kept them all together in the same box.

    This is what I have collected so far:

    1) A copy of the Daily Express (from a place that does birthday newspapers)
    2) An Argos catalogue
    3) A Mothercare catalogue (which my mother had owned originally, and so she had it from when it was new).
    4) The number 1 hit single (charity shop)
    5) A copy of Radio Times, (which probably would have been on sale the previous week as I wanted the TV listings for the day I was born)
    6) A copy of TV Times (same as the Radio Times)
    7) A copy of Punch magazine
    8) A copy of Private Eye magazine

    I was wondering whether anyone has also had newspapers, magazines or anything else to do with the day or week they were born? Perhaps it was saved from that very day itself, or did you do what I did and searched for them online?

    Apologies if I have put this in the wrong part of the forum.
