RETIREMENT GIFTS ON THE RETIREMENT CAFÉ 

When we think of giving retirement gifts to our friends, to our colleagues, or to ourselves, we usually think of giving physical objects.

There are many retirement gifts that are much better, however.

Reflect back on the best gifts that you have ever been given by your friends, relatives, or yourself, and you will likely think of acts that touched your heart and sole. The same applies to gifts that help people retire happy.

If you can't think of any retirement activities to have a happy retirement, you haven't spent enough time getting to know yourself so that you can give yourself some of the best retirement gifts and fun things to do when you retire.

Taking this into account, there are many non-material retirement gifts that retirees can give themselves:

As Kevin Stith states, "Retirement gifts always make a retiree feel special."

On the other hand, one of the more interesting ways to make a retiree or soon-to-be retiree fell special is to give them one or more customized retirement gifts and treats at their retirement party or celebration.

Retirement Gifts More Memorable

A cheque or credit card, a Gucci bag strap, anything of value will do. Give as you live.
— Jesse Jackson

Gifts must affect the receiver to the point of shock.
— Walter Benjamin

— Pamela Glenconner

It is normal to give away a little of one's life in order not to lose it all.

— James Baldwin

One must be poor to know the luxury of giving!
— George Eliot

The only gift is a portion of thyself.

One perfect limousine, do you suppose?
Ah no, it's always just my luck to get
One perfect rose.
