Gifts And Tips To Get Over It - Wave Goodbye To Busy Working Days
Retirement for some of us is bliss
Retirement for some of us is bliss. We can finally put our feet up and stop thinking about the stress of getting up and going in to work every morning. If you're waving goodbye to your hard working days, congratulations! Or if you know someone who is, it might be nice to get them a gift to congratulate them, yourself.
There are probably more options now when it comes to retirement gifts than ever before and in this article we're going to look at some of those options. There are the traditional gifts, the most relaxing and therapeutic presents out there and then there are those excellent experience days! Whichever retirement gifts you choose for your friends we're sure that they'll just love them.
Congratulations
The main purpose of any retirement gifts is to say a great big 'congratulations!' When someone embarks on retirement they leave their working life behind and have more time to do the things that they love. So we think some clever twists on traditional retirement gifts work really well. One of our favourite presents that just screams congratulations is personalised champagne.
Exquisite quality champagne from one of the French region's finest champagne houses is finished off with a specially printed label especially for you and costs little more than 30 a bottle. The custom label comes in lots of great designs which mean you can tie it in to your friend's hobbies or choose a nice traditional style and you can add their name and a small message, making it a truly personal keepsake as well as a delicious celebratory drink!
Another traditional gift at times when it's a special occasion is chocolate but why settle for a box of mint creams when you could get your friend who is retiring a whole pizza made of chocolate and sweeties. For under 15 you could get them The Chocoholics Pizza which comes displayed with tissue paper in a take away style pizza box and it is made of delicious, mouth watering Belgian chocolate. There are several topping varieties too, my favourite of which has to be the heavenly honeycomb version with the solid milk chocolate base topped with milk and white chocolate balls of crunchy honeycomb, vanilla fudge and melt-in-the-mouth milk chocolate curls.
Pamper and Relaxation
After years of hard work it can be quite wonderful to give someone retirement gifts which encourage them to sink in to a world of relaxation and tranquillity. That's why we also love relaxation presents and experiences. For a retiring woman who loves to soak in her own tub at home the Ultimate Pamper Hamper is a must buy. In a gorgeous wicker basket your friend could receive bath treats that are elegantly disguised as edibles. The hamper contains bath bombs, cosmetics, rose petal soaps, bath confetti, a white waffle hair band, soft cotton slippers, votive candles to arrange around the tub and create that truly essential relaxing mood, Bordeaux foam bath gel disguised as wine, exfoliating bath wash and other indulgent and aromatic delights.
If you'd rather send your friend to the spar, then for under 60 you could get her a pamper gift pack which will let her access a health club for the whole day and enjoy an express facia, manicure of shoulder and neck massage. They can also bring along a friend to spend the day relaxing with them and if you're lucky it could be you!
Interesting Experiences
Interesting experiences make such good retirement gifts because they can inspire people to pick up new hobbies and interests. For example, a gentleman who is given an experience day gift which allows him to go on a fun journey on a steam train could develop an interest in railway history or engineering and build a hobby around that. Or a woman who is bought some salsa dance introductory lessons by a friend for her retirement could actually find she has a latent talent and begin to nurture it at local classes for fun.
Experience days are priced as cheaply as 20 each and there are so many different activities to choose from that often, while looking for a gift for someone else you'll see something you quite fancy for yourself.
So, as you can see retirement gifts these days are a far cry from the boring presents of yesteryear. There are adventure experiences, delicious chocolate gifts, luxurious bath and spa presents and even exciting rides on steam trains to be had. Whatever the person you're buying retirement gifts for is in to, you're guaranteed to find something that will make them overjoyed.
