HELP!!! I need advice on retirement gift...  |
| |
|  My friend's husband is retiring tomorrow and is throwing a retirement party. I have never been to one of these before and so I am drawing a blank as to what kind of gift to get him. Can anyone give me some ideas? I need to head on out today go find something for him for tomorrow. Thanks in advance for the input. The one that gives me the perfect idea will get the BEST ANSWER award, so put on your thinking caps and tell me what you think...Thanks!

| |  When in doubt I just get a card and put some money in it or get a gift card to a store or restaurant that I know they like :)

| |  What ever you do, don't give them a gold watch and a handshake.
You can always give a card saying your gift will come later so you don't duplicate a gift. They will think you're brilliant.

| |  I can't say that I have ever been to a retirement party either and I would probably be in your same situation if I had to go to one. I recently found a great website that has gifts for any occasion and when I saw your post that website was the first thing to pop into my mind since they have a section specifically for retirement. Here is the link: http://www.findgift.com/Occasions/Retirement/
I hope you find what you need there!

| | Since the party is tomorrow, maybe you can find an idea at that website and then go out and buy something similar at the store. (Sorry, I didn't realize the party was tomorrow at first) | | | |

| |  Well, it depends on what kinda person is he. You need to tell us what he's like and all that. When my dad retired from work, we gave him a set of power tools. It's to keep himself busy. My dad has always been a workaholic and he also likes repairing/refurnishing things around the house so we thought that was a great idea!

| | I really dont know him that well...Im good friends with his wife but he is very reserved and quiet. He worked for the Navy for a long time and is finally retiring. Thanks for the advice on the power tools, I'm not sure if he likes to work around the house... | | | |

| |  Wow you sure do throw them out there. Lets see if I can throw a little confusion into the mix.
Well it depends.
1- How good of friends are you
2 - Is it formal retirement party or informal
3.- Do you even know the husband
I think you got the answer from several people and I guess I have to concur. When in doubt and I would think there are just to many variables here, a card and some cash are always good. He can put it with or toward something he really needs or wants.
See that wasn't to bad now was it??
