Retirement is something to celebrate! This is an accomplishment and means one is entering a new chapter in life. The generation nearing or entering retirement is more numerous than ever. AARP has a wealth of advice to prepare for retirement and enjoy your retirement to the fullest. Whether you know someone who is retiring, are planning on retiring yourself, or are looking for ways to celebrate after retirement, there are plenty of ways to honor the occasion!
One common trend among people who reach retirement age? Having some form of hearing loss. Whether brought on by aging, environmental factors or genetics, it’s a fact that hearing loss affects one in three people who are over the age of 65, and that increases to one in two by age 75. If you or someone you know is showing signs of hearing loss, connect with a hearing care professional and consider a caption phone to help them stay connected after retirement. An iPhone® or iPad® could also be the perfect retirement gift to help them stay connected on the go with the ClearCaptions mobile app!
There are a ton of options when considering what to get someone who is retiring. You can find lists and guides in a variety of places, but there are some common themes that can help you find the perfect way to celebrate the occasion.
Searching for a coworker or friend? A personalized gift is a perfect place to start. With the wide array of gifts available online, you’re sure to find something simple and easy they’ll love!
Do you know someone who doesn’t have a lot of space for new things? Go for an experience instead! Creating a memory together or gifting a great time to a friend can often be more memorable in the long run.
Are you thinking of a restless retiree or a soon-to-be snowbird? Or maybe you’re one yourself! Retirement is all about enjoying life to the fullest and travel is often a first step for many.
Membership in organizations like AARP can be a great start to getting discounts and savings tailored to seniors and retired people. There are also practical membership gifts like roadside assistance services. If you’re trying to think outside of the box, there are also other membership types you can gift!
No matter how you celebrate, retirement is a reason to cheer! It’s a time to recognize the accomplishments of the past and look forward to a new chapter in life. Whether you’re getting ready to retire, know someone special who deserves a retirement celebration or have already retired and want to celebrate your hard work, we hope these retirement gift ideas can help you bring out the joy of this special occasion.

FEDERAL LAW PROHIBITS ANYONE BUT REGISTERED USERS WITH HEARING LOSS FROM USING INTERNET PROTOCOL (IP) CAPTIONED TELEPHONES WITH THE CAPTIONS TURNED ON. IP Captioned Telephone Service may use a live operator. The operator generates captions of what the other party to the call says. These captions are then sent to your phone. There is a cost for each minute of captions generated, paid from a federally administered fund.
