E-readers are a very popular choice for retired people in 2010. An e-reader is a great gift idea for your retired loved one. You can take your library everywhere with you, even on planes, and they will have the ability to shop from wherever they want. E-readers can hold large amounts of books and are light-weight. E-books cost significantly less than hardcovers so that your retirement fund can remain intact. You will be highly appreciated for this practical gift. -
Gift Certificates
You may know someone about to retire but you aren’t close enough to choose a gift they would enjoy. It is possible to give a gift certificate along with a beautiful card. But, people who work hard enough to retire have probably also acquired many things in their lifetime. You don’t have to choose a standard gift card, where the object is what you give. Instead, pick a gift certificate that allows the recipient to enjoy an activity or experience. A gift certificate to skydiving or climbing is a good choice if the retiree enjoys thrill-seeking. Gift vouchers to a ballet or play would suit someone who enjoys a more refined setting. Gift cards and gift vouchers can be purchased for almost any occasion. Use your imagination as well as the information you know about the retiree. There are many options for gift certificates to restaurants and spas as well as vouchers that can be used at golf courses, fancy cinemas, dance studios, or other entertainment venues. -
