1912 Book & Mug Combo. When you are turning 100, what gifts can you possibly need? I am told this all the time by customers. This 100th birthday gift idea is my best gift suggestion. The 1912 book, which is a paper softcover book, contains information about what happened in 1912, which can be handed down through families, or even shared as fun entertainment at a 100th birthday party. The 1912 booklet is 22 pages and is a paper softcover book. The 1912 mug has the words "1912- A Very Good Year" on both the front and back side of the mug. It holds 12 ounces of liquid, and you can microwave it or place it in the dishwasher for easy cleaning. Together they make a wonderful, practical 100th birthday idea. You will be amazed by how much has changed and how much has happened since the year 1912.
