Great Gift, Party Ideas To Celebrate Retirement

By Elba Fenwick


These days' people are working longer and longer, so when a person finally is able to retire, this is absolutely a cause for celebration. Retirement is a huge reward for someone who has worked for decades and is ready to devote all their timef to their own interests and hobbies. If you have such as friend, here are a few gift ideas to consider and a few party planning 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.

One great thing about retirement is having free time to do the things you love. Friends and family can help encourage this by giving gifts that complement a person's favorite hobbies. This might include fishing gear, golf gear, hiking gear or even cool stuff for a new RV. Gift cards to bookstores, cafes and for movie tickets are other options.

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.

A buffet filled with finger foods and sandwiches and plenty of great beverages are all you might need to serve. A buffet is casual and allows people to mix and mingle rather than planning a formal sit-down affair. Decorate the buffet table with pictures showcasing the guest of honor's life. Set up a basket and have guests record a favorite work memory or give some retirement advice or state what they will miss about the person. Don't forget about the dessert, either. This is easy a perfect opportunity to try out some gourmet Chocolate Pizza and some other decadent treats from Chocolate Pizza Company.
