It can be hard to come up with retirement gift ideas for men, can’t it?
This is especially true if they’re colleagues rather than family.
After all, you’re not likely to know the person who’s due to retire as well as a close relative, no matter how long you’ve worked with them.
But retiring is obviously a big deal, so you’ll still want to find a memorable gift that will be appreciated.
So to help you out, we’ve put together a collection of ideas both big and small (or cheap and expensive if you want to look at it that way!) for what to buy for someone who is retiring.
Whether you’re buying for a friend, colleague or family member you’ll hopefully find something suitable here.
