Retirement is one of the biggest milestones a person will reach in their lifetime. This is an exciting time in your coworker's life, so make sure you send them off with a retirement gift that they’ll never forget!
“Job Well Done” Gifts
Especially if they’re leaving the company after years of service, make sure they feel like their work has been appreciated and they’ll be remembered. Their time in your office may be over, but every home needs elegant stationary!
There’s no better way to say “thank you and good luck” than with a glorious bouquet of flowers. From seasonal designs to bouquets with “congratulations” balloons, flowers are a retirement gift staple!
Hobby Gifts
With all the time in the world now on their hands, many retirees like to take retirement as an opportunity to indulge in their hobbies.
Sports
The days of heading home before the game ends are officially over! Get the sports enthusiast in your life even more reasons to love his favorite game with popcorn tins featuring his favorite baseball or football team.
Cooking
Now that they can finally use their kitchen for more than late night meals after work, give them something that gets them excited to cook! Prime cuts of meat are perfect for the griller in your life, while cheese and snack baskets make the perfect gift for the person who loves to entertain.
Alcohol Connoseur
When you don’t have to be up for work in the morning anymore, why not get into craft beer and specialty wines? From wine chillers and wine baskets to beer mugs and socks, these gifts will give anyone a good reason to say, “cheers!”
“Don’t Forget Us!” Gifts
Were they more than a coworker to you? If this was your lunch buddy, confident, right hand, and best friend in the office, make sure you stay in their hearts forever. A personalized picture frame with your department or office pictured will help keep these memories alive for years. Take it a step further by getting their start date, retirement date, or company name engraved!
Travel Gifts
The world is finally theirs! Make their sightseeing adventures a bit easier with travel grooming kits, leather carry on bags, and a pen and journal set to keep track of their travels!
Relaxing Gifts
After 40+ years of working, the thing most people want to do after they retire is relax! With spa baskets of shapes, sizes, and scents, your retiree will never be more than a few moments away from serenity!
