Great Gift, Party Ideas To Celebrate Retirement

By Elba Fenwick


Retirement is a huge milestone in a person's life. This person has probably worked since they were 16 and now after 50 or more years, it is time to retire. Celebrating this new chapter in life is essential and as a friend or family member you could send a thoughtful gift or perhaps throw a party in honor of the retiree. Either way, these suggestions should spark some fun ideas.

A gift basket is always a great idea, especially chocolate gift baskets; after all chocolate is always a big hit. These will be loaded with plenty of treats to keep your retiree happy for many days. However, a better idea might be to send a Chocolate Pizza and tub of Peanut Butter Wings from Chocolate Pizza Company. This unique option is even packed and shipped in an actual pizza box, so even the packaging is amazing.

Chocolate Pizza begins with a crust built with handmade English toffee and either melted milk or dark chocolate. There are many topping options to consider or you can opt for a pizza with a simple artistic drizzle of white chocolate. The Peanut Butter Wings are made from peanut butter and crushed potato chips drenched in milk or dark chocolate. If you want to send a bit of everything, Chocolate Pizza Company has chocolate gift baskets with wings, slices of pizza, chocolate cookies, gourmet s'mores and much more.

One great thing about retirement is having free time to do the things you love. Friends and family can help encourage this by giving gifts that complement a person's favorite hobbies. This might include fishing gear, golf gear, hiking gear or even cool stuff for a new RV. Gift cards to bookstores, cafes and for movie tickets are other options.

Throwing a farewell-to-work party at the office or at someone's home is another option and people can bring some thoughtful or even funny little gifts for the guest of honor. Gift cards to a favorite coffeehouse or movie theater can be thoughtful gifts. Dr. Seuss' book "You're Only Old Once! A Book For Obsolete Children," can be a good read and all the guests can sign the inside covers.

Serve up plenty of food and drink for the party, but don't feel like a full, multi-course dinner is necessary. People tend to have more fun at these events when you can serve yourself from a buffet and simply mingle with everyone else. Decorate the party room with pictures of the retiree and designate a spot where guests can fill a guest book with a special memory or some sage advice about retirement. Oh, don't forget about dessert. Just head to the Chocolate Pizza Company website and select some gourmet Chocolate Pizza, a few tubs of Peanut Butter Wings and a selection of gourmet chocolates and you are all set.
