Updated December 7: We only have two Deluxe boxes left.

These can be purchased individually, or add them to your order of one of our exclusive WWII shirts or sweatshirts for a one-of-a-kind holiday gift.

Standard Gift Box — $50

  • 8" x 8" x 3" wooden box with our exclusive World War II Victory design printed on the lid with the dates of VE Day and VJ Day.
  • Our pick of 10 exclusive WWII stickers and magnets.

Note that the Standard Box does not include the escape map, New York Times, of pamphlets from our Allies.

Deluxe Gift Box — $175

    • Large, 10" x 10" x 5" wooden box with our exclusive World War II Victory design printed on the lid with the dates of VE Day and VJ Day
    • Our pick of 10 exclusive WWII stickers and magnets
    • World War II Escape map — Pick from either Europe (1 available) or Asia (10 available). Each piece of Rayon is double-sided, with a different map on each side. The name of the region covered is at the top.
    • Our choice of a full, original issue of The New York Times from Fall 1944 covering the war as it unfolded. We only have one of each date.
    • Our choice of three pamphlets from the Allies published in the United States
  • Note: If you order a Deluxe box, your order will most likely come in two boxes and they may arrive on separate days. This is because we ship the newspaper flat in its own box. (They are all shipped at the same time, but we've had situations where they get delivered on different days.)

While supplies last.

If purchased individually, these items would total more than $400.

WWII escape maps range in size from 20" x 24" to 30" x 32”. Printed on both sides. Dated 1943 and 1944. There is only one for Europe, and that’s a 24” x 36” map that includes Tunis and Palermo. The others cover the Pacific, Japan, China, and the USSR. Sometimes referred to as “silk” escape maps, at this point in the war these were, I believe, made out of Rayon. Also available individually for $175.

The front section of The New York Times from fall 1944. These are originals, and you will receive the entire section, not simply the front page. Although the tide had turned in both theaters, war raged on in both Europe and the Pacific and victory was a long way off. Each issue carries a bold headline and the articles transport you back to that time. We will select one for your Deluxe WWII Gift Box. Also available individually and in sets ranging in price from $195 to $495.

If you want a specific date, purchase that by following those links below. (We will include our choice with the Deluxe box; this will be additional purchase.)
Bulletins published by the Allies for distribution in the United States. I wasn’t familiar with these before coming across them. Apparently Britain, Belgium, Norway, and some of the other allied countries established news bureaus in the United States and wrote small pamphlets designed to garner support. The ones we’re offering were all mailed to a person in Chicago. We’ll select three and will try to get them from three different countries.

Shipping: $10.

Note: If you order a Deluxe box, your order will most likely come in two boxes and they may arrive on separate days. This is because we ship the newspaper flat in its own box. (The boxes are shipped at the same time, and we've had situations where they get delivered on different days.)

Also, we'll need about a week to assemble your box before it's shipped.
