Money Tree

Before the party, have each office member pitch in with various denominations of paper bills ranging from ones to 20s. Find a real or fake tree with lots of branches but not much greenery. Take the bills and fold them up to look like leaves. Tie each folded bill to a branch to create a money tree. As a grand finale, present this in a nice pot to the person retiring at the end of the party. Tell him it is for a rainy day or a cash flow emergency--whatever best fits his personality.
Memory Video
-
Collect pictures and video clips of your boss from over the years and put them together in a video montage set to music. Include big accomplishments as well as funny moments, like that holiday party where he dressed up as a moose and his antlers got stuck in the door frame. Be sure to have this on a DVD or CD that he can take with him at the end of the party.

Personalized Gift
-
To start your boss' retirement off right, give her a leather bound photo album to capture memories from her future travels or visits to faraway places. Take the album to a store that specializes in engraving leather material and have her initials, name or a short phrase like, "My Travels" placed on the front. Before wrapping the gift, take a picture of all of her employees to place on the first page in the album. Add a small note under the picture that says, "To Remember Where Your New Journey Started."
