Recreation

Chances are, a newly retired gentleman will have a hobby or sport he loves to indulge in, but he just hasn't had as much time to spend on it as he wanted. With all his new-found freedom, he can devote more time to the things he enjoys. Help him out by making or purchasing a themed gift basket for golfers, gardeners, fishermen and more. Sport or hobby-related equipment is sure to be a hit with the active retiree. Buy him a lesson with a pro in his area of interest for a chance to use his new tools for an unforgettable retirement gift. Private instruction is available from many professional golfers, fishermen and racecar drivers.
Relaxation
-
Retirement is a time for him to put his feet up and chill with a cold drink and a cozy spot to sit. Men who appreciate a fine brew will appreciate a membership to a microbrewery or beer of the month club. Each month he will receive 12 bottles of award-winning beer from breweries across the nation. Wine, coffee, salsa and many other monthly memberships are available for practically any taste. Enhance his downtime by giving him a massage chair or a massage pad.

Vacation
-
Help him celebrate decades of hard work with a little well-earned down time. Give the retired man in your life a pair of tickets for a cruise or all-inclusive resort vacation to a favorite destination. Give as a group gift to make it more affordable. Stuff tickets in the pocket of a new suitcase or travel bag, and include a digital camera, video recorder or leather, monogrammed passport holder to continue the theme. If tickets are beyond your budget, treat him to a subscription to a renowned travel magazine.
Career
-
Give him kudos for a job well done with career-related memorabilia. Specialty stores, like Hallmark, and online retailers, such as Giftsforyounow.com, offer a wide range of commemorative gifts for just about any career. Encourage him to preserve his memories with an autobiography journal and personalized pen. Give military veterans a meaningful gift with an art print from Your Memory Lane that details the fine points and accomplishments of his career in a museum-quality print. A photo of him at the height of his career, displayed in an elegant or commemorative frame, will remind him of his past success and encourage him to enjoy the future.
