Retirement Gifts?

I work for the government (not the IRS, i promise) and I just found out a couple days ago that the person I work under is retiring in July. This is my first "real grown up job" (ie, something I can actually make decent money to live off and make a career out of), so I've never had to do the whole retirement gift shopping. This lady has been a great help in me getting going and learning the ropes (I started in February), and is always so sweet. Because of this, I really want to get her something as a retirement gift, but I have no clue what to get?? What are some good ideas?

Do you know her personally at all? Any hobbies? Interests? Knowing she was retiring, did she talk about doing something or going somewhere? Family?

I do not know her hobbies. :-/ All I really know about her personal life is she's married, has a daughter, and is religious. I also have no clue if she has a big vacation planned or not.

If she has been helping you, maybe you could hint - soo... any big plans???

Can you get a pic of her and her daughter and frame it?

A gift of the month club? They have all kinds from beer to fruit. I don't know your budget (not asking) you could do a month to 6 months or whatever)

Some kind of scrapbook if you know her accomplishments at work?

A book - How To Retire Happy, Wild and Free, or The Joy of Not Working, or How to Love Retirement

A movie collection if you have any idea what she might like

 

sorry, I don't know anyone but my P's that have retired!!

Maybe something small like a plant and tell her the story about how much she has helped you and how much it means to you.

For myself and my hub, we would like just a pretty card with a nice note about how you were helped. Or get others to write a nice note and put them in a pretty binder. Maybe add a picture of each person. We mentor high school kids and those are our favorite gifts.

That's true! All my parents ever want is a nice card from me for b days and holidays.

A written note telling her how she has impacted your life would be cherished. If you want to buy something, a small plant/flowers always nice and appropriate to accompany the note.

I agree that a note or card letting her know how much she has helped you in your career would be very nice.

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By Aussienae · Posted

      Mine is definitely triggered by inflammation and stress! I do also have arthritis in my spine, but the pain is more in my pelvic area. Im sure i have other food intolerances or other autoimmune isues but the more I focus on it and see doctor after doctor, it just gets worse.  Best thing is get of Gluten! (I also avoid lactose). Try to limit stress and anything that causes inflammation in your body.

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By ButWhatCanIEat · Posted

      Good morning,   I got an email about replies to this post. Some of my doctors had blamed a slipped disc for the pain I had and that contributes, but after meeting with a gastroenterologist AGAIN and trying some lifestyle modifications, I found out I have IBS and can't tolerate corn or excessive fructose to any degree. Cutting out corn AFTER having cut out all gluten containing products was a real pain but I feel much better now!

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By trents · Posted

      So, I contacted Scott Adams, the author of that article and also the creator/admin of this website, and pointed out to him the need to clarify the information in the paragraph in question. He has now updated the paragraph and it is clear that the DGP-IGA does serve the purpose of circumventing the false negatives that IGA deficiencies can generate in the tTG-IGA antibody test.

      Lymph nodes

      By Soleihey · Posted

      Has anyone experimenced enlarged lymph nodes with celiac? Both in the neck and groin area. Imaging of both areas have said that lymph nodes are reactive in nature. However, they have been present for months and just wondering how long this may take to go down. Been gluten-free for about two months. Blood counts are normal.
