They’re free! They’re finally free! As they enjoy the gift of time, here are some cool ways to gift the brand new retiree in your life.
Work. Am I right? We spend the majority of our adult life counting down to the weekends, our upcoming vacations and then, of course, how many more years/months/weeks/days/minutes/seconds until we can retire. We’re always so jealous happy for those in our life who are newly retired, but finding the perfect retirement gift for them isn’t always the easiest.
Here’s the thing. No, not everyone wants to play golf and knit. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, but we’ve researched, tested, and obsessed over some of the perfect presents for the retirees who have a wide variety of interests and goals. There’s still so much for them to accomplish!
