Each person in his own way refers to the exit on a well-deserved rest. Someone is waiting for him with impatience, anticipating positive changes in life. After all, with the advent of free time, it will be possible, finally, to fully engage in leisure time, to pay much more attention to your relatives and relatives. Traditionally, the team, retiring one of his colleagues, makes him a memorable gift. The article will discuss what kind of gift you can give a colleague at retirement.
What is worth considering?
When choosing a souvenir or present for a person leaving for a well-deserved rest, it is important to observe tact first of all. Even if your colleague was waiting for this moment with optimism, you should not forget that this event is still associated with the achievement of old age. Therefore, if the team decided to make a comic gift, you should not touch on the theme of old age.
And also it is advisable not to choose a wrist or wall clock as a gift. This subject is directly associated with the passage of time, and can be perceived by a future retiree as a hint of old age and transience of life.
Slippers, blanket or pillow, on the one hand, are necessary in everyday life. But on the other - these things may have a negative interpretation. They can be associated with a lonely and monotonous life within the four walls of the house.
Great help in choosing a present for someone who is retiring may be general awareness of his character, hobbies and interests. So, a person who did not have a special sense of humor and was used to understanding everything literally and straightforwardly, should not make comic surprises. They can be interpreted and interpreted quite differently as originally intended.
If your colleague, on the contrary, was always the soul of the company and often made fun of his colleagues, then a cool and cheerful souvenir will be able to cheer him up and leave positive emotions in his soul.
An important detail is the general well-being of the pensioner, his state of health. For example, if you donate a ski set to someone who has problems with the joints of the legs, you will offend him.
Present for women
To the ladies who go to the well-deserved rest, you need to be particularly delicate. After all, the representatives of the beautiful half of humanity in most cases quite sharply react to their age. Therefore, with the help of a gift it is worth hinting that a woman in front of you will find a lot of interesting and pleasant things.
- Many, for most of their lives, are practically immersed in their work. Because of this, there is practically no opportunity to travel, to emotionally relax and see the world. So that the retiring lady would not yearn for work and not miss at home, it would be appropriate to give her from the team a ticket to a resort or a sanatorium on the seashore.
Best of all, if it is a ticket for two, so that a woman can go along with her spouse or one of the adult children.
- Dacha plot, which may not have enough time and effort because of the work, can now become an outlet for the newly retired. If your colleague is an enthusiastic gardener or a gardener, then a gift, timed to the exit on a well-deserved rest, may be associated with gardening. Of course, giving a hoe, shovel or rake is not worth it. But look at such options as decorative lanterns, comfortable and compact garden furniture, beautiful pots and other accessories to decorate the site, it makes sense.
And also you can present an encyclopedia on growing flowers, a book on the management of gardening.
- Many senior citizens are eager to learn new skills. An appropriate, interesting, and, most importantly, a useful gift can be a certificate for passing any courses. Direction of training, you can choose based on the interests of your colleagues. But it is best to leave this choice for her.
- Modern pensioners are actively mastering computers and gadgets. Usually, children and grandchildren willingly help with this. Therefore, as a gift to a retired woman, you can present a tablet, a comfortable keyboard or a computer chair. In addition, you will make it clear that you are ready to communicate with her on social networks. Most likely, such attention will be very pleasant to the one who leaves the familiar and loved by the team over many years of work.
What to give a man?
The general principles for choosing a present to a retired man are generally the same as for women. Often, finding a memorable and useful gift for them is even somewhat easier. After all, men are more actively sharing their hobbies, and they even often coincide with colleagues.
Therefore, you should not stop your choice on a banal postcard and a sham medal “for long and hard work”. Men in some cases perceive retirement as painful as women. A collective gift, selected with a sincere attention to a colleague, you can smooth out this difficult moment in his life and even cheer.
- Mature men are in most cases connoisseurs of good alcohol.. And after leaving for a well-deserved rest, it is quite possible to pamper yourself with elite brandy, whiskey or brandy. A home mini-bar filled with bottles of various alcoholic beverages can serve as a gift.
- A good gift can be a collection of coffee or tea of various varieties. It can be supplemented with an originally made Turk, a coffee machine or a Japanese tea set.
- Car owners are quite appropriate to present a navigator or DVR as a memorable gift. With retirement, a car enthusiast probably will not limit trips to just the city limits. After all, now he is not bound by the work schedule, and can go on nature or with his wife to visit the sights in his or even the neighboring region. On such trips, both gifts are very useful to each driver.
- Those who lead an active lifestyle and take care of their healthIt will be nice to get a certificate to the gym, coupons to visit the wellness sauna or massage room.
- If your colleague is reading, then you can replenish his home library with a collection of books in a gift-bound book. Just find out in advance what literature he is interested in. The e-book can become another gift option for the lover of secluded reading.
- Men are also often addicted to working in the backyard. But their activity is more connected with the repair or construction work in the country, ennobling the country house. Present an encyclopedia on the construction and repair of a private house to the staff leaving your team, complementing it with a good modern set of tools. This will help him tune in to a more active realization of himself after the end of his work activity.
- Gifts related to hobbies, hobbies and outdoor activities are always relevant and enjoyable. Accessories for fishing, sports equipment, a tent for outdoor activities - this and much more can be presented as a memorable and useful gift to a person retiring.
