Do you have a co-worker that is retiring and you have to come up with the perfect retirement gift? What do you give someone who has worked at a company for many years? There are a variety of good ideas that will help you select the perfect retirement gifts from yourself or from a whole group of co-workers.

First, when selecting retirement gifts, consider your audience. Is your retiring co-worker planning on taking several months to tour Europe like she always wanted to as a younger woman? If so, perhaps your gift should be tailored to her new retired life. Buy the traveling co-worker a new set of luggage, a variety of travel guide books, or the latest in carry-on gear.

If your co-worker is staying at home, great retirement gifts may speak to your knowledge of her favorite pastimes. Does she love to garden? Buy her a gardening cart and a gift card to her favorite home and garden center. Is she planning on spending time writing the novel she always mean to write during her working years but never had time to complete?
