Celebrating Retirement: Gift Ideas For That Special Someone

Celebrating Retirement: Gift Ideas For That Special Someone

By Elba Fenwick


After many years of hard work, when it is time for a person to retire, it is a great idea for friends and family to celebrate this landmark event. Whether you plan a big retirement party or wish to send a great gift, it is sure to be welcome. If you aren't sure what to buy or what to plan, read on to discover a few helpful tips.

A gift basket is always a great idea, especially chocolate gift baskets; after all chocolate is always a big hit. These will be loaded with plenty of treats to keep your retiree happy for many days. However, a better idea might be to send a Chocolate Pizza and tub of Peanut Butter Wings from Chocolate Pizza Company. This unique option is even packed and shipped in an actual pizza box, so even the packaging is amazing.

You can order your Chocolate Pizza with a dark chocolate or milk chocolate crust and choose from many different toppings. The Peanut Butter Wings are a blend of crispy potato chips and creamy peanut butter dipped into milk or dark chocolate. You also can select from several chocolate gift baskets that contain slices of Chocolate Pizza, tubs of Peanut Wings and items such as chocolate covered cookies and other specialty chocolates.

Often retirees are looking forward to pursuing their hobbies so any gift that encourages this will be a good option. For instance a fisherman would probably love fishing gear, and a golfer would enjoy golfing gadgets, expensive golf balls or a great new golf hat or shirt. If they are looking forward to reading or cooking, get a gift card for a bookstore so they can stock up on cooking manuals and the latest novels.

If co-workers or family are planning a get-together, have the guests stay within a theme. The favorite hobby might be the theme or perhaps you will want to buy some quirky retirement gifts. There are great t-shirts designed especially for retirees as well as coffee mugs and flasks, hats and even tote bags. There are also plenty of fun books related to being retired. There are also special gifts suitable for those who have retired from specific professions such as firefighters, career military and teachers.

When it comes to the food, keep it simple with a table filled with items that guests can eat while walking around and talking to other guests. Small sandwiches, pasta salads, appetizers, cheese, fresh fruit and other finger-type foods are all great for a casual party. Set up a fun dessert buffet and fill with gourmet cookies and candy or perhaps some Peanut Butter Wings and slices of Chocolate Pizza.
