Retirement Gag Gifts

Retirement Gag Gifts

Retirement is a very exciting time in someone’s life. They are moving on to bigger and better things that don’t involve the routine of going to work five days a week. To help someone as they head off on this road you can offer them some really fun retirement gag gifts. They can also lighten up the mood because it can be a very emotional time for someone who is going to be leaving behind the people and the space they have known for so long.

One really fun retirement gag gift is to give them a couple of lottery tickets in their card. Of course one of them will be a winner but a fake winner of quite a large prize. The verdict is still out on this particular retirement gag gift though. Some people think it is too mean as it really does get their hopes up. Yet if your gift is one that they take after they have seen other gag gifts that day they will likely catch on to it relatively quick.

There are games such as retirement BINGO and to do lists for retired individuals. They will likely hope their spouse doesn’t get a hold of that one though. They will fill it up with things for the individual to do that they haven’t had time to complete before. There are even candies in bottles that say Retirement Pills on them.

You can decide to give someone a retirement gag gift if you wish. In fact some whole parties are with this theme in mind. If the retirement party is for someone you don’t know very well though you should be cautious. You don’t want to offend someone and you do want to be careful in the work environment. Yet if it is a friend or a family member you will have a better idea of what they will find to be funny and enjoyable.

There is definitely a great selection of retirement gag gifts out there to so take some time to look around. You can buy individual pieces or a gift bag that has a full set of them. You can get them online or at novelty stores. Chances are you will have as much shopping for such merchandise as you will giving it to them.
