Retirement Gift Ideas

Special Gift Ideas for Retirement

Hard earned and many years in the making, retirement is a significant occasion when it's time to down tools - literally, in some cases - and leave the world of work behind. It's a time for reflection, looking back and celebrating all your achievements, whilst also looking ahead to a quieter, more relaxed pace of life.

And whilst it can be tricky to find the right way to mark such an important milestone as their working life draws to a close, we're confident that our selection of experience days and days out will be the most fitting present for you to say thank you and ensure the next chapter of their life gets off to the best possible start.

Gift Ideas for Retiring Colleagues

One thing that might be immediately coming to mind as a good retirement gift is one of our Short Breaks. A chance to relax and unwind with their better half or family at a number of hand-picked hotels at locations across the UK, including boutique hotels and unique glamping venues, will be ideal for them to start having some enjoyable time together with the people who have had their back through everything.

With their time now their own, one of our Spa Breaks might be ideal, as they can truly recuperate and rejuvenate with luxe facilities and spa treatments at a number of dedicated venues nationwide, with a one or two night stay plus all meals included.

Perhaps there's a hobby that you know they've always shared a desire to want to pursue? Our range of Courses and Creative Experiences could offer them the perfect opportunity to start pursuing their true passions, whether that be Illustrating, Interior Design, Dance Classes or even Blacksmithing for something completely left of centre!

Unusual Retirement Gift Ideas

For something that's definitely a break from the norm, why not surprise the soon-to-be retiree with one of our more extreme experiences, such as Off Road Driving? There's surely no better way to let out all those years of workplace angst than driving Monster Trucks or 4x4 vehicles such as Land Rovers over challenging terrains.

Or for adrenaline thrills that they will jump into their new life with, there's our range of Indoor Skydiving packages, available to book at one of four iFLY centres across the UK in Manchester, Milton Keynes, Basingstoke and London's iconic O2 in North Greenwich. Taking flight in a powerful wind chamber has to be up there on the fun factor.

How about something for those who are a bit of a dab hand in the kitchen? Our Cookery Lessons will not only provide them with some new skills, but also see them rustling up all manner of delicious dishes, from Indian and Thai food, to Sushi and Italian classics such as fresh pasta and pizza!

Not only have we curated the very best experience day gifts for retirement here at Experiences UK, but we have also ensured that our booking process is as simple as possible for you, so you can get a wonderful surprise arranged in no time at all.
