Give your father an engraved item that can help him commemorate his retirement. Choose a watch and have it engraved with his initials and the date of his retirement or retirement party. You could also choose a picture frame and engrave it, then place a picture of him with his work friends or doing his work. Other engraved items could be a money clip, a set of beer mugs or a picture album.
Hobby

Most men have hobbies that they love and they will more than likely be able to devote more time to them as they begin their retirement. If your father has a hobby, give him a gift that complements it. For example, fill a gift basket with gardening, golfing, grilling or camping items. That way he has even more things that will help him perform his hobby.

Sports Gift

If your father enjoys sports, consider giving him a gift that will help him enjoy it even more during his retirement. For example, give him a high definition, large screen television or upgrade his satellite television package so that he can watch even more games.

Gift Basket
