Saying good-bye to the 9-to-5 can be a very exciting time in a person’s life! If you have a soon-to-be retiree who cannot wait to hang up his or her briefcase, then consider celebrating with them by getting them a fun, or even funny, retirement gift!

If your new retiree is saying farewell to a job that does require him or her to carry a briefcase or laptop bag, then consider getting them a fun travel bag filled with all sorts of retirement goodies that one would need to relax! Consider a sleep mask for those lazy week days, suntan lotion for lounging by the pool, a good book, ear plugs, beach towel, and other funny little items. It can be like a little do-it-yourself retirement survival kit.

Or if your retiree is already planning on taking a trip overseas to celebrate, then consider making a retirement survival kit with all the things related to his or her destination. You might include some local maps of the place, a language dictionary, a passport holder, plug converter, and other fun things that a globe trotter would want. This would be a really cool and personalized retirement gift that he or she will not soon forget! And who knows, some of your traveling goodies may come in handy when they are actually on the trip!

A retirement gift does not have to be just about retirement! It can be a little something special to celebrate the new adventures that lay ahead beyond the transitional phase into retirement. So consider some ways that you can get your new retiree excited about all the fun things that await in retirement.

For instance, if your retiree has always wanted to go to a particular amusement park or special museum, then consider getting tickets for them. This way, they will not have any excuse to go and can finally make good on that promise to themselves. And sometimes the best time to enjoy an amusement park or museum is during the week because you won’t feel rushed and will not be overwhelmed by the weekend crowd. So it could be a really fun and relaxing experience for the new retiree, something that they can really enjoy.

If you would really like to splurge on a retirement gift, then consider an annual pass to the park or museum of his or her choice. This is a great way to give your favorite retiree something to do that does not cost any money. Museums especially are always changing their exhibits and adding new pieces to their collection, so it can be a great treat for your retired friend to be able to enjoy an evolving museum collection all year long. And by purchasing an annual pass you will be supporting a great institution in the community.

Retirement gift ideas should really excite the recipient, so consider what types of plans they have for the future or what type of cool adventures they would like to participate in and choose a retirement gift that supports their endeavors.
