Personalised 70th Birthday Prints - Unique 70th Birthday Gift Ideas

Turning seventy is a huge milestone — and milestones deserve to be celebrated in style.

Landmark birthdays can sometimes make gift-buying feel like a challenge. What do you choose that feels meaningful, thoughtful, and truly special? That’s where a personalised gift makes all the difference.

A personalised present shows care and intention. It strengthens the connection between you and the recipient and makes it clear you haven’t just picked something at random — you’ve chosen something just for them.

To make things easy, we’ve brought together a collection of our favourite personalised 70th birthday prints all in one convenient place.

Our prints:

  • Are specially created with 70th birthdays in mind

  • Can be customised with your own personal message or details, making each print completely unique to the recipient

Ready to find the perfect one? Let’s dive in…

 

(1) The Top Ten Records From 70 Years Ago: Music On The Day You Were Born

What music was topping of the charts on the day you were born? Check out our music trivia print for all the details! You send us a date of birth from 70 years ago and we print the UK's top ten singles on a personalised music print. 

There are two print designs, each with a different retro music look: 

Both of these print designs come in a choice of colours and they can be customised for you to make them really personal. Click on the pictures below to see the different options.

The LP print shows the top ten songs printed on a record label:


The cassette tape print shows the top ten songs on a cassette label:


(2) Personalised Record Collection Print

This print is designed to look like a record collection stacked on a shelf, showing popular records that were in the charts 70 years ago. Half the records are albums and half are singles, giving a great mix of artists and songs; you get a great idea of what music was popular in the UK charts all those years ago. 

This print shows music from the UK charts (we have another version that shows music from the US charts):

 

To make your print more personal, there are three (optional) ways in which you can customise it:

  • add a short message (with one character on each record spine) - this message is printed along the bottom of the print, below the year (it's great for messages like 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY GEORGE!').
  • add a longer message, with one word on each record spine - this message appears towards the top of the print
  • Finally, if there are any special records from 70 years ago that you particularly want to appear on the print, we can change our standard selection to include it.

This print is ideal for music lovers. It's a unique, nostalgic, music print. 

Here's a detailed look at some of the spines:

 

 

(3) Personalised 70th Birthday Classic Book Cover Print

A timeless personalised 70th birthday print for any book lover, styled to resemble a classic vintage paperback cover. Choose from a range of colours and customise the design with your own special message to create a truly meaningful gift.

And here is a close-up with a personalised message:

 

(4) 70th Birthday Trivia Print

Filled with fascinating facts and trivia from 70 years ago, this print brings the past to life. It features a rich mix of highlights from sport, film, money, television, famous births, music, and major news events from the time.

At the centre of the design, the recipient’s name and birth date take pride of place, surrounded by snapshots of what was happening in the world when they were born — a small but meaningful piece of their own personal history.

This print focuses on UK-based events (including well-known and much-loved British sporting moments) and is available in a range of colour options to suit any style.

(5) Personalised 70th Birthday Abstract Art Year and Date Prints

These abstract art prints are inspired by a beautifully simple concept: transform numbers into colours, then use those colours to build a striking piece of artwork. Because dates are made up of numbers, they lend themselves perfectly to this distinctive and highly personal style of custom abstract print.

Here's an example...

  • The date 4th March 1962 can be written as 04031962
  • Allocate each number a colour
  • Print the colours in the same sequence as the date to create the artwork - the sequence of colours is unique for every date
  • At the bottom of the print, we print the colour and its number in a series of little circles 
  • For a 70th birthday gift, print a date of birth, or the date of a 70th birthday

It's fascinating to watch someone look at one of these prints and try to work out  what it means (it's not hard to 'crack the code' but it's very satisfying when you do!).

The custom abstract artworks for years are more minimalist and somewhat bolder, because there are only four digits in a year rather than the eight digits in a complete day/month/year date:

These abstract geometric artworks are available in a range of colour schemes. Click on the pictures above to see the full range of colours.
