Humorous Gifts
A coworker’s retirement is a time to say goodbye to someone who has been a mentor, a close friend, or a respected boss. The mood of most retirement celebrations is light and happy, as friends share the silly stories and miraculous accomplishments of the event’s honoree. You can expect upper management to dole out the gold watch and plaque as well as other sentimental and impressive items; this leaves others the responsibility of providing the humorous gifts. Items that will help usher the person into their new life of luxury and keep the mood of the party upbeat and silly.

For those that don’t have a big plan for retirement, you can gather a collection of gifts that help them learn some new activity. You could get them a book on golf, a foreign language, or something more ridiculous; these types of gifts work best if you can relate them to the person in a fun way. For example, providing an automobile engineer with a book on how to build wooden ships in a bottle; you know they will always be building, so they might as well learn to a hobby related to their original career. Of course, a training book on something they disliked could create a really big laugh as they are left with plenty of opportunities to comment or remark about it.
Providing them with plenty of cliché elderly items is a fun way to let them know they are getting old and work even better if the person retiring is doing it earlier in life. Fuzzy slippers, a pipe, or a cardigan are all fun ways to joke about how they are getting older and will be having a much more relaxed style of life ahead of them. Choices for a woman retiring could be things like gardening tools, a crocheting kit, or scrapbooking starter set. While most of these activities aren’t limited to the retired, they are a fun way to remind the person they have a much more recreational time.

Retirement Poems
Retirement poems for a Colleague:
Although it is true that, we will all miss you, we know you deserve this new time in your life.
We will all be lost without your smile everyday.
We know that you deserve all the best that life has to offer.
You put in these long hours; you put in these long days,
Now its time for you to smile, to dance, to be at rest
Thank you, we are already missing you. We wish you a happy retirement.
Here is to wishing you all the best.
You are the world’s greatest friend and colleague.
A Kindred Retirement for a Life Long Friend:
The years have flown by.
Some have been good. Some have been trying,
Some years have been impossible.
However, I could always count on one thing.
That is your smiling face,
Your kindred spirit lifted me on friendship wings.
Your unflinching friendship kept me afloat when life seemed destined to sink my heart.
So now, the day of your retirement is upon us, All I can say is that I wish you all the best.
You have been here for me all these years. You have been my rock, my true north.
You were always my friend in the trenches.
What more can I say then you and your work made me a better person.
So now, as you move on with this next step in your life,
Always know that you will have a friend in me.
Here is to wishing you all the best in the years to come.
My kindred friend, a good rest is well deserved.
Retirement wishes for a parent
Mom you raised me to always place value in a hard days work.
You raised me to always value the dollar, and what it means.
Everyday you put in long hours, Sleepless nights, and worrisome afternoons,
Just to make sure I had what I needed, and what I wanted.
Now its time for you to take a break,
To stretch your arms out wide,
Breathe in life, and enjoy all the success and honors you have achieved.
Nevertheless, you should always know one thing,
You can never retire from being the greatest mom in the world.
You were always there for me, now its time for me to be there for you.

Retirement Gift: Fitness & Health
Is someone in your office workplace or someone that is close to you set to retire in the near future and you are looking for ideas on what to get him or her? Try a health and fitness themed gift basket. There are hundreds of different variations of baskets that can be made depending on the budget, gender of the person, general likes and dislikes, and where a person lives. Part of the gifts can be serious and the rest can be gag gifts. Here we will try and supply some different ideas for both men and woman that can neatly fit into a gift basket.
GIFT BASKET THEMES
1. Golf Lovers Basket
It may be a bit cliché but a large majority of retired men intend to play a lot of golf and a golf driving range gift certificate or golf course membership would fit perfectly in a gift basket. It can be a center piece of a golf themed gift basket which could include golf gloves, tees, balls, shoes, and any other golf related item you can think of. here’s a couple of funny gift ideas, you can get the DVD Dwarf on Golf or all used products in the basket before giving the real basket.
2. Exercise or Fitness Theme
Many people say they want to exercise more but the eight do not have the time or they don’t want to spend the money. If you think your retiree would be interested in a gym membership you can center a gift basket on a gym gift card and take those excuses away. You can include weight lifting gloves, exercise clothes, protein and nutritional bars, vitamins, head bands, and other like gym going products. Again, for a laugh you can personalize a T-shirt, towel, a big supply of sports cream for all the aches and pains, make a funny exercise tutorial or whatever else you can think of that would be funny.
If a gym membership is not ideal but you think the person would want to exercise you can still do a gift basket but gear it more towards exercises that can be done at home. Include some exercise videos (P90X or Turbo Jam for example), exercise bands, weighted aerobics gloves, yoga mat, exercise cloths, different fitness drinks and foods, small weights, roller blades, running shoes, and so on. The combination’s or themes are truly endless. Again, for fun you can include a funny videos, exercise for dummies manual, a funny list of do’s and don’ts, and a funny list of motivational quotes.
3. Day Spa Theme
For the person that needs to relax and be taken cared of send them to a spa for a day so they can get that much needed massage, acupuncture treatment, and aroma therapy. The basket can include some soft nature music, candles, lotions and oils, massaging tools, foot soaker, facial creams, and anything else that will go along with the theme. The mockery that can be created with this can get crude in a hurry, but having funny labels on the lotions, creative titles of manuals, hair waxing products, toe jam cures, and so on. Like I said this one could get funny so have fun with it.
4. Sports and Recreational Themes
A lot of people are fanatical about a specific sport, so you can do a football themed gift basket including tickets to a game, or for a tennis player buy a racket. Where I live people are nuts for the Ohio State Buckeyes so buying a golf bag with Brutus the Buckeye on the side, or football jersey with his or her name on the back would go a long way. To get a laugh buy something that is totally irrelevant to the sport like ping pong ball for a golfer or soccer ball for a basketball fan. A big gag is making a basket of a rival sports teams products, but keep it inexpensive because most of it will never see the light of day.
All these ideas can be perfect for a women or mens gift. If you are looking for bigger items like elliptical machines, treadmills, or other gym equipment go to EllipticalMachinMan.com to see some reviews and lists of different products. I hope you have fun with your retiree’s gifts and can use some of the themes provided to get a great idea.
