  That is nice of you, but it is highly unlikely that you will get the newspapers.

  Even if you find someone who owns them, it will definitely be for collectors' purposes only, and they will neither sell or lend it to you.

  I suggest that you think up of another birthday present instead.

  if you eventually find 1991 magazine or newspaper you can try fold it into a heart or a star. fold it skillfully so that the date can be seen after it is folded. good luck!

  or if you have a bit more to spend, i think you can buy collector's coins that are of that year?
