Because your employees have been good contributing members of your company, it is but proper to give them rewards—and awards—for a job well done. It can be during your anniversary parties or other events. However, what they will appreciate the most is receiving retirement gifts from you. It only means they have stayed long in your company that they deserve your appreciation.

Moreover, it only tells that you look forward not to their leaving your company, but to giving them something that symbolizes your gratitude to their loyalty and contributions. And, speaking of retirement gifts, isn’t it more admiring if you will think of retirement gifts that are exclusively made for each of them? It will definitely show that the company, this time, has taken an extra effort for their employees. Now, what are these unique retirement gifts? Here are the top five in the list…

1. Something that will represent their hobbies.
•    If your employee, who is soon to retire from your company, is a golf enthusiast, give him a golf club. If that is too costly for you, consider buying a golf ball and have his name printed in the ball. If she’s a female and she loves to cook, buy her a recipe book that has over a thousand recipes inside! If you can afford it, it will be more fitting to buy her a kitchen oven. This will be more useful to her as she faces her coming retirement days.

2. Something that will show your employee’s name.
•    Buy him or her gold watch. Have the name engraved in the bracelet. If you are not keen about the golden watch, try keychain with the logo of the company and the name of the employee. This may look cheap, though. So you better think twice.

3. Something that will remind him of his days spent in the company.
•    Ask your staff to seek the help of his or her office friends in collecting his or her pictures taken in the office or with them. Collate this in a scrapbook. Have each image captioned. Have it designed also. Wish him or her good luck in the last page of the scrapbook. He or she will surely pore over these pages on her first day of retirement.

4. Something that will remind him or her about his or her work.
•    If he is a writer, give him a pen. If she is a loyal secretary, order a personalized mug for her. Your employee will surely appreciate it.   

5. Something that will tell about what he can do right after his retirement from work.
•    Buy your male employee exercise equipment like dumbbell. On the other hand, buy your female employee a ballroom dress. This is your subtle way of telling her to try ballroom dancing.

Retirement gifts are not a parting way memorabilia. It is the employer’s way of wishing his employee good luck for the start of an exciting journey toward freedom and happiness.
