The Best Gifts for Retiring Men

Image Credit

If your man is retiring soon and throwing a party you will have to get him a gift that marks the occasion. But what can you get that isn’t predictable or obvious. Retirement gifts can sometimes be underwhelming or else the receiver gets multiple versions of the same thing. Since it’s for retirement you want to get something that either marks the past or inspires the future. You want something that marks the beginning of a new way of life. 

T-shirts and Work out vests 

Your man doesn’t have to be retiring early to take advantage of a nice t-shirt or vest, even older men will want to make the most of the extra time in their days and week to get fitter and protect their physical health. 

A brand t-shirt or vest is a practical and thoughtful gift for a man who’s retiring. It might not be made of gold or represent a long life of work, but it indicates a future or prosperity and energy. It is an inspirational gift. 

Sunglasses and Apparel

If you have a man in your life who’s retiring you probably want to avoid the cliche gifts if you can. A personalised pen or watch or watch might be appreciated but it might also be one of many. 

Try to think outside the box and choose gifts for him that will inspire your man in the future when he doesn’t have to clock in anymore. What about some Ray-ban sunglasses or a nice belt they can weather in the sunshine. 

Gift Sets 

Although it might seem like an easy option, a gift set is always a thoughtful and welcome way to mark an occasion, even the special event of the man in your life stepping back from his daily duties. 

Gift sets come in all shapes and sizes. You can have ones that focus on daily grooming, or other sets with special products they wouldn’t normally spend money on. This is a chance to give the gift of self-care to someone who deserves it. 

Trainers 

Your man is retiring but that doesn’t mean he is going to drink lots of beer and become a couch potato. On the contrary, your man will be interested in maintaining and improving his health with the extra time.

Your man might also be interested in taking up a new sport or hobby such as running or squash. That’s why the gift of sneakers is such a welcome one. Again, it is a nod to the present and the future, thrasher than the past. 

Wallets and Bags 

When your man retires he will have more time to travel or visit the city to meet friends and former colleagues. You can imagine him on vacations to Italy, Russia, and Japan, seeing places he has always wanted to travel. 

You can support these lovely aspirations with a new wallet or bag. If you buy one that’s good quality it should last him for most of his retirement. Choose items that contain space for passports and extra coins. 

I hope these provide inspiration for you

I’m Elaine a Neonatal Nurse who retired from the NHS at age 55. I’m loving the 3rd age of my life – Retirement is the best job I ever had. Being married for 35 years I am lucky to have someone to share life with.

I’m a foodie who enjoys travel, football and my home.

I love to share over 50’s lifestyle tips including age appropriate beauty reviews, coping with the trials and tribulations of the Menopause, weight gain around the middle, fashion, travel and food including recipes and restaurant reviews.

I want to challenge the myth that life ends at retirement.
