Retirement gift ideas
From the team, a retirement gift is a large flower arrangement for the office on the last working day; from the family, a perfume or a vase that your father or husband begins his new days with. A team unsure of his taste can shortlist 2 to 8 gifts on Haddiyah; he chooses one, then sets office or home and the time, in Riyadh and Jeddah. Retirement is the end of one chapter and the start of another, and its gift says both: thank you for the years, and congratulations on the time ahead. These thank-you gifts are grouped for both.
From the team: a large arrangement for the last day
A retirement gift from the team outgrows any other work gift: a large flower arrangement or a basket that fills their desk on the last day, with every name and the years of service on the card. Choose the morning slot so it arrives before the farewell. See thank-you gifts for colleagues.
A perfume that stays with them after work
If the team has known the retiree for years and knows their perfume, one from their favourite house is a gift that stays with them every morning after work: Dior, Chanel, Cartier, Hermès. See thank-you perfumes.
For a retiring father: a gift for his new days
Your father retired and his days are his own now. The gift suits the new: a vase for a majlis that will be open more often, a perfume for his mornings, or chocolate for the guests who will come more. See gifts for fathers.
For a retiring husband
If your husband is the one retiring, the gift celebrates the time that is now yours together: a cake and dinner at home on the first day, a perfume for his new chapter, or a gift he picks himself from several. See gifts for husbands.
For a retiring manager
A retiring manager's gift comes from the whole team and goes to the office: a large arrangement or a fine vase on the last day, with a card naming something specific you learned from them. Jewelry and personal gifts do not fit. See thank-you vases.
Before you send
- The team's gift reaches the office on the last working day in the morning, before the farewell and the goodbyes, and the card names the first year and the last.
- The card matters more than the gift at a retirement: one sentence from each colleague about something they learned from them, all written on one card.
- If the retiree is your manager, the same rules as a manager's gift: from the team, to the office, an arrangement or a perfume, not jewelry.
- For a retiring father, the gift is for his new days: a perfume for the mornings that are now his, or a vase for a majlis that will be open more often.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best retirement gift from the team?
A large flower arrangement delivered to their desk on the last day, or a perfume from a known house if the team has known them for years, with everyone's name on the card. See thank-you gifts for colleagues.
What do I give my father for his retirement?
Something for his new chapter: a perfume for the mornings that are now his, a vase of flowers for his majlis, or chocolate for the guests who will come more often. See gifts for fathers.
When should a retirement gift arrive?
On the last working day in the morning slot if it is from the team, and a few days later at home if it is from the family. A single gift arrives the same day when they set the location before 4 pm. Some gifts need longer to prepare. The time is on each gift page.
Is jewelry a good retirement gift?
From the family, yes, a piece of silver, or gold-plated, that stays. From the team, no, it is too personal; an arrangement or a perfume fits better.
