Retirement Gifts For Those With Time To Travel
When it comes to buying gifts for people most holidays and occasions make it pretty easy to know what to get
. With Christmas you have a lot of help from shops and advertisers telling you all the bright, shiny new things to buy for people. Most people already have a fair idea of what they want for their birthdays and Easter, of course, is all about the chocolate! But when it comes to buying gifts for someone's retirement it becomes very difficult to know the best thing to get...It's not an occasion that comes around annually or regularly enough for people to re-hash old gift ideas and of course at the same time you want to get something that is special, original and going to be useful.
There is a lot to consider when thinking of ideas for retirement gifts. For example what are they planning to do now that they are retired? If it is simply staying at home and relaxing with a spot of gardening perhaps or general DIY or decorating there are plenty of gift ideas that you could come up with that are original and would come in useful. But what about those people who, even though they are retired, still have time to travel? Even if it's just with a bit of light hiking and rambling or a family holiday? What would be the best gift in that case? Well these are just a few ideas that I have managed to come across...
If the person you are buying for is very much into their wine, then why not get them a wine tasting at a vineyard? It is a wonderful idea for a retirement gift as you are giving them a brilliant day out experiencing something that they really enjoy and can learn from.
West end theatre tickets are another great idea for a day out. Especially if the person in question really enjoys their musicals! You can find lots of great deals where you can enjoy dinner and a West end show for two at very reasonable prices!
Golfing days out are great because you are keeping yourself active and busy whilst at the same time learning something that will come in handy for years to come! You can choose from golf lessons to just simply a day of golfing where they can enjoy the sport at their own pace.
A very original idea for retirement gifts(or a gift in general!) is to own your own piece of paradise. You can do this by purchasing an 'Own A Piece of Paradise' gift set. You simply send off a registration card and in return you get to own your own square foot of land on the Island Harbour Beach Estate on Little Exuma. You have your very own piece of paradise that you can enjoy for years to come!
For people who really do have time to spare to travel another perfect retirement gift idea is a trip on the 'Orient Express' train where you get to witness the beautiful, scenic countryside, enjoy a lovely four course meal with wine and enjoy each others company for a wonderful day that they will not forget in a hurry! You can even personalise all the ticket information and package that it arrives in!
If the train idea is to your liking but you want to travel a bit further you can always have a look at world train journeys that travel across countries such as Canada or parts of America? Another fab gift idea that they are not likely to forget in a hurry and the added bonus is you can enjoy the retirement giftswith them! (If you are feeling particularly cheeky!)
For someone who has plans to travel very far there are so many great gifts you can get them to help them on their journey such as a personalised passport holder, an engraved travel watch, personalised luggage or perhaps something simple like a rucksack for all their carry-on items. You could even get them gifts to help chronicle their journey with items such as a travel journal, travel notes or a 'places we have been' world map. For those who are particularly young at heart why not get a 'make it yourself' hammock...that way wherever they are in the world they will be able to relax thanks to your wonderful gift ideas!
