Retirement gifts are presented to an employee or employer by his or her boss, co-workers, or colleagues during the send off or farewell party. The gifts demonstrate that the employee or employer is appreciated and respected for the years of dedicated hard work she has put in. Retirement gifts can range from anything like travel vouchers to gourmet baskets and they can be as inexpensive or luxurious as you choose.

Travel vouchers are available at your nearest travel agent, and a relaxing trip for two to the mountains or seaside is something the recently retired employee or boss will cherish. They can be simple weekend getaways to a nearby nature camp, or a few days stay in a summer resort.
