Retirement should be a very special
occasion for the retiree. It is the
culmination of all the years he or she has
worked for a company and signals a new
era in the life of a person. Beginning the
next day, the retiree will no longer have to
get up early in the morning to get to work,
will no longer have stacks of paperwork on
his or her desk, and will generally be free
to move on with life.
1. Choose something that will last. Generally
speaking, you will want to give a retiree a
gift that will last, and not something that is
consumable such as food or drinks and even
toiletry. It has to be something that will be
memorable and can be displayed. You may
also give the retiree food and drinks, but
they should only complement the main gift.
2. You may want to consider a corporate
gift – one where every employee chips
in, or one where the company itself
sponsors the item. Personal gifts are
also okay, as long as they fit the
characteristics of # 1.
3. A plaque of appreciation is a common
gift, and it never fails to fit the bill of
being a priceless memento. You may
want to add a few twists here and there
so that it does not become a cliché. For
example, you might want to try creating
a bronze plaque for the person and at
the same time create a memento plaque
to be installed in a place of honor in the
building. Some might even try taking out
an advertisement with the local paper to
announce appreciation for the retiree.
4. Depending on the personality and
relationship of the retiree with the
company, one might also consider giving
fun gifts such as spoofed magazine
covers, newspapers and others that bear
the person’s name and image.
5. Another memorable gift would be
a sponsored trip to any place the
retiree has always wanted to visit.
Although it isn’t something that can
be hung on a wall or displayed on a
shelf. The memories of the trip itself
will prove to be a valuable memento
to the retiree.
