29 Retirement Gifts For Him
A retirement gift has to mark a big change without making it feel like the best part of his life is behind him. That's a tricky balance, especially when you want your gift to feel personal rather than like a polite gesture from work or family.
The right choice says you've noticed what this milestone means to him—and that you're glad he gets to decide what comes next. You can make that feeling clear without overthinking it.
