RETIREMENT GIFTS ON THE
RETIREMENT CAFÉ
When we think of giving retirement gifts to our friends, to our colleagues, or to ourselves, we
usually think of giving physical objects.
There are many retirement gifts that are much better, however.
Reflect back on the best gifts that you have ever been given by your friends, relatives, or
yourself, and you will likely think of acts that touched your heart and sole. The same applies to gifts that help
people retire happy.
If you can't think of any retirement
activities to have a happy retirement, you haven't spent enough time getting to know
yourself so that you can give yourself some of the best retirement gifts and fun things to do when you
retire.
Taking this into account, there are many non-material retirement gifts that retirees can give
themselves:
- The retirement gift of laughter
- The retirement gift of freedom
- The retirement gift of integrity
- The retirement gift of kindness
- The retirement gift of caring
- The retirement gift of love
- The retirement gift of not having to go to work
- The retirement gift of great health
- The retirement gift of great friends
- The retirement gift of a good night's sleep
As Kevin Stith states, "Retirement gifts always make a retiree
feel special."
Interestingly, one of the more common search terms related to retirement is "retirement gifts
humorous."

Quotes about Gifts and Giving to
Make
Retirement Gifts More
Memorable
A cheque or credit card, a Gucci bag strap, anything of value will do. Give as you live.
- Jesse Jackson
Gifts must affect the receiver to the point of shock.
- Walter Benjamin
Giving presents is a talent; to know what a person wants, to know when and
how to get it, to give it lovingly and well. Unless a character possesses this talent there is no moment
more annihilating to ease than that in which a present is received and given.
- Pamela Glenconner
It is normal to give away a little of one's life in order not to lose it all.
- Albert Camus
It is rare indeed that people give. Most people guard and keep; they suppose that it is they themselves
and what they identify with themselves that they are guarding and keeping, whereas what they are actually
guarding and keeping is their system of reality and what they assume themselves to be.
- James Baldwin
One must be poor to know the luxury of giving!
- George Eliot
The only gift is a portion of thyself.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
When people grow gradually rich their requirements and standard of living expand in proportion, while
their present-giving instincts often remain in the undeveloped condition of their earlier days. Something
showy and not-too-expensive in a shop is their only conception of the ideal gift.
- Saki
Why is it no one ever sent me yet
One perfect limousine, do you suppose?
Ah no, it's always just my luck to get
One perfect rose.
- Dorothy Parker
Many will intreat the favour of the prince: and every man is a friend to him that giveth gifts.
- Hebrew Bible. Proverbs 19:6.
