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.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.
