Newspaper Presentation Case

I was advised on my Wedding day last year to buy a newspaper (on theday), to give to my wife as part of her gift for our first anniversary (paper representing the first anniversary and all that).

I got the newspaper, but have nothing to present it in.

Does anyone have any idas, or can anyone point me in the direction of somewhere I can buy one from (online or insotore).

I've got 'till May!

    I came across an interesting article on this topic.

    It seems that if you want to preserve it (long term - over 50 years) then you should buy an acid free folder and case from a archival supply company.

    Newpapers discolour easily - ink runs between papers etc - its up to you if you really want to make an effort to full out "preserve it" or not.

    Anyways - heres the article link if you're interested:

    If you can't get anything more permanent sorted in time, I think it would look nice just tied with some nice ribbon, you could attach a tag with a special message from you.
