Much like an 18th birthday or wedding anniversary, retirement is an important and memorable occasion to be celebrated. Your favorite retiree is likely to have more time on his/her hands. They will have time to explore new interests and hobbies, travel, take pictures, add a little luxury into their day, or continue the lifetime task of learning. They might also explore writing their life story or exploring family history. Maybe they are thinking of a warmer climate and planning a move. All these possibilities are rich with retirement gift ideas.
Do they like to keep in shape? A gym membership is a good idea. With locations around the country, Curves is a great gym for the ladies and you can locate local gyms from their home page and they can start with a free week to see if they really like it. For the gentlemen they are almost sure to like Gold’s Gym. They also offer a free week to start. If they like golf you can supplement their supply with some news clubs or other golfing equipment at reasonably good prices at the Golf Warehouse. Perhaps they like to garden? They are great gift ideas for the amateur gardener like a scooter – with a tractor like seat that swivels 360 degrees with a place for a 5 gal pail and a handle to pull it with when you are not sitting. It’s priced at just under $100.00. There are many other ideas for gifts for the gardener from Gardeners Supply Company in a wide range of prices.
