Its central idea is to turn a person’s birth year into a personal, nostalgic gift: customers can browse for a real magazine published in the year someone was born, or choose an issue connected to a milestone birthday. The store offers year-based and decade-based browsing, with selections spanning the 1970s through the 2020s, as well as a feature inviting visitors to explore what happened in a particular year.

Its listed magazine brands include Playboy, Bravo, Musikexpress, Rolling Stone, Der Spiegel, Vogue, Cinema, Metal Hammer, Zeit Magazin, and Penthouse. This range brings together titles covering entertainment, music, news, fashion, film, and culture. The site also provides search, contact information, and options to select a region and language. Orders are shipped from Berlin, with worldwide delivery indicated. By combining archival print publications with birth-year and birthday browsing, justanoldfashionednewsstand offers a distinctive way to give a meaningful magazine from the past.
