Look for gifts that are original or suggest your ideas to other co-workers for more expensive items.  Remember that the company also gives retirement gifts and depending on how well the company values its employees is usually a pretty good indicator for the kind of gift the individual will be receiving.  Items like:  awards and plaques, ornaments, paperweights, valet key fobs, desk clocks, luggage tags, passport holders, mugs and even pen sets are all very nice personalized retirement gifts, don't get me wrong, but lets face it, they are all rather generic and may or may not be used or displayed by the retiree. marked cards

However thoughtful a gift may be, it's always best to find items the retiree can use and will appreciate.  That's why a retiree generally appreciates their co-workers gifts over the gift they receive from a company.  Some companies do however go above and beyond and will give stocks and bonds which is something every retiree can appreciate even if they are a novice.  Other companies have been known to give timepieces, crystal decanter sets or even big ticket items like timeshares or club memberships in recognition of years of service.

Giving the retiree something to look forward to in my humble opinion is the best gift to give.  Tickets to an upcoming concert, play or sporting event can be very exciting; also I found a getaway vacation booklet that lets the retiree pick their vacation.  Other items can include golfing accessories like: divot took and ball marker, shoe bag, personalized golf balls, golf shadow box, or valuables pouch.  Even fishing gear and hunting gear can be given and if you're unsure as to which item they will want, a gift certificate is always appreciated and is not as impersonal as some people may think.  Better to let the retiree pick the item they really want then to give them something they'll end up returning or worse already have.
