1960s Survival Handbook - A Funny Personalised 60s Nostalgia Book

A hilarious personalised 1960s nostalgia book packed with memories, checklists and laugh-out-loud reminders of everything you somehow survived growing up in the 1960s.

Think you remember the decade? This book is here to find out.

1960s Survival Handbook is a funny keepsake book that celebrates the realities of growing up in the 60s through nostalgic challenges, humorous observations and memories that will instantly take you back.

This is not a gentle stroll down memory lane. It is a reckoning.

Across its pages you'll revisit the realities of growing up in the 60s:

• Playing outside from morning until the streetlights came on
• Exploring places you probably shouldn't have been
• Travelling by bike, roller skates and other adventurous forms of transport
• Surviving playground equipment that would never meet today's safety regulations

The book explores every corner of 1960s life, including:

• Television, radio and classic entertainment
• Music, pop culture and the soundtrack of a generation
• Fashion trends and iconic styles
• Toys, games and playground favourites
• Early technology and household gadgets
• Family holidays and trips to the high street
• Christmas, birthdays, Bonfire Night and annual traditions

Every page includes tick boxes so you can mark off everything you experienced. As your score builds, you'll discover exactly how much of a true 60s survivor you really are. Were you:

• Lightly seasoned by the decade?
• Properly shaped by it?
• Or completely forged by the 1960s?

Because there is probably a reason you turned out the way you did.

This personalised keepsake book is ideal for:

• 1960s nostalgia gifts
• Birthday gifts for adults
• Personalised gifts for people who grew up in the 60s
• Funny retro gifts
• Unique gifts for parents, grandparents and family members

Why I created this book, from author and illustrator Lucy Tapper: I created 1960s Survival Handbook because each generation insists they had it tougher. The truth is, every decade leaves its mark. The rules, the trends, the toys, the expectations. They shape how we think, react and remember. I wanted to design a book that celebrates that shaping with humour rather than sentimentality. A way to acknowledge the absurdities, the hazards and the cultural quirks that helped form a generation.

What our customers say: “Highly recommended It will jog so many memories and I have brought it for a Christmas gift, that I am sure they will enjoy. I love that it is personalised too.” - Lynne
