How to make a gift for retirement gifts for women

Retirement gifts for women should be special and meaningful. To make a gift that will show your appreciation and respect, consider the interests of the retiree and her personality. Here are some ideas to help you craft a memorable retirement gift: 1) Create an album or scrapbook with photos, mementos, cards, letters from friends and family members over the years. Include pictures of her at work as well as with family and friends. Include stories about how she touched people’s lives at home or in the workplace. 2) Put together a basket filled with items that evoke memories such as tickets to events she attended when younger or books she read growing up; sweets like chocolate truffles; teas or coffees that remind her of past times; handmade crafts such as knitted scarves; potted plants that can brighten any room; aromatherapy oils for relaxation; music CDs featuring songs from her era. 3) Make a photo collage on canvas depicting favorite moments throughout her life – wedding day, first grandchild’s birth etc., this is sure to bring tears of joy! 4) Give something practical like travel accessories if she plans on doing more traveling in retirement years- luggage tags, passport holders etc.; kitchen gadgets if cooking is one of her hobbies - cookware sets , spices etc.; gardening tools if gardening is what brings peace to soul - shovels , pruning scissors etc.. No matter which type of gift you choose for your retiree friend/family member it should reflect thoughtfulness since this is likely one big milestone in their life .
