Retirement Gifts for a Coworker
A retirement gift for a coworker should be something that signifies his accomplishment, or something he can enjoy in the new chapter of his life. Think about things your coworker really enjoys doing that he might now have more time for, or commemorate meaningful aspects of his career.

Memory Book
-
A thoughtful retirement gift for a coworker would be a memory book, or a scrapbook. This could be something that several coworkers put together; it could contain pictures from company parties and awards the person has received, as well as a place to keep the greeting cards she will receive upon retirement. Additionally, people could write messages directly in the book wishing the retiree well and congratulating her as well as sharing any sentiments. It would be a book that would always remind her of her time with the company.
Gift Certificate
-
Now that the retiree is going to have more time to relax and have fun, a great gift would be a gift certificate that reflects personal interests. For example, if it is a woman who never treats herself, you could give her a certificate to the spa. If it is a man who loves to golf, present a gift card to cover green fees at a golf course.

Personalized Plaque
-
A personalized plaque, detailed with the company name, the person's position and the years he worked for the company, can be ordered from a speciality store. This is a visible portrait of a career that he could hang on the wall in his bedroom or home office. It could trigger memories of his years with the company and also denote the appreciation of his coworkers.
Membership in an "Of the Month" Club
-
An "of the month" club membership could be a gift you continue to give the retiree every month. For example, a wine lover may love a membership to a wine-of-the-month club in which a wine bottle gets delivered to her house every month. A book lover may enjoy membership in a book-of-the-month club. This gift can allow the retiree to enjoy an entire year of being pampered, during the first year of retirement.
