If someone you know is facing one of the most wonderful days of their life, retirement, you may be wondering what gifts for retirement bound individuals would be best. While sure, some gifts are gender based, retirement gifts can be suitable for either men or women. Some great ideas to consider, along with your well wishes are listed below.

Gift Baskets are often great gifts for the retiring individual. You can tailor it to their specific hobbies, like a golf, tennis or bowling basket or include items for them to enjoy their new found free-time.

Camcorders are a fantastic gift to give the retiring person to use on their trips, adventures and family gatherings. They come in a wide variety of colors, simplistic operating instructions and advise on how to post videos to the Internet.

Visa, Mastercard or American Express gift cards are always a welcome gift to the retiring individual that is going to see a cut in pay upon retirement. They can be used online, out to dinner or just on something they see and want.

Dinner of the Month Clubs are growing in popularity and make a wonderful gift for any man or woman retiring. They can enjoy a gourmet dinner for four once a month for themselves or a dinner party.

Luggage or travel bags are excellent gifts for retirement whether the individual professes they’ll be traveling or they’re just planning on a relaxing time at home. With free time comes the opportunity to go all the places they never had enough time or vacation to enjoy and a bag will be a wonderful incentive to hit the road.
Luggage tags that have been personalized with their name also are a great addition or gift to the individual who’ll be spending more time at baggage claim than in the office. 

 Jewelry always makes a great gift and remembrance item, although it can be hard to purchase such personal items with a great deal of success. Instead, you may want to purchase a house plant or tree to be planted, a pocket watch or quality wrist watch for the retiring member of your family or office team.
