Great Gift, Party Ideas To Celebrate Retirement

By Elba Fenwick


Retirement is a huge milestone in a person's life. This person has probably worked since they were 16 and now after 50 or more years, it is time to retire. Celebrating this new chapter in life is essential and as a friend or family member you could send a thoughtful gift or perhaps throw a party in honor of the retiree. Either way, these suggestions should spark some fun ideas.

A sweet treat is always a great idea, and there are plenty of unique chocolate gift baskets to consider or you also could opt for something whimsical, such as pizza and wings. Chocolate Pizza and Peanut Butter Wings, that is, in lieu of the traditional pizza and wings. These delectable items are handmade at Chocolate Pizza Company and shipped directly to the retiree.

Chocolate Pizza begins with a crust built with handmade English toffee and either melted milk or dark chocolate. There are many topping options to consider or you can opt for a pizza with a simple artistic drizzle of white chocolate. The Peanut Butter Wings are made from peanut butter and crushed potato chips drenched in milk or dark chocolate. If you want to send a bit of everything, Chocolate Pizza Company has chocolate gift baskets with wings, slices of pizza, chocolate cookies, gourmet s'mores and much more.

One of the pleasures of retirement is being able to really enjoy your favorite hobbies. Presenting a new retiree with a gift tailored to his or her hobbies definitely will be welcome. For gardeners, give them a gift card to a favorite nursery as well as basket filled with seeds, gardening gloves and hand tools. A golfer would love a new golf shirt, personalized golf balls or perhaps a leather scorecard holder. For a person who is planning to enjoy the country via RV, consider buying some gear for this new vehicle or a handy RV guidebook.

Throwing a farewell-to-work party at the office or at someone's home is another option and people can bring some thoughtful or even funny little gifts for the guest of honor. Gift cards to a favorite coffeehouse or movie theater can be thoughtful gifts. Dr. Seuss' book "You're Only Old Once! A Book For Obsolete Children," can be a good read and all the guests can sign the inside covers.

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.
