Gifts for Retirees Ready to Tee it Up

One popular way for retirees to spend their free time is to play golf. A Protocol Automatic Golf Ball Return is a great way for someone to work on perfecting their short game at home. The convenient size of the ball return allows it to be set up in an office, a rec room, a garage or basement with ease. It’s battery operated, so it’s completely cordless and portable.

Other golf gifts for retirees include an 18-pack of PGA Tour Foam Practice Golf Balls or a Protocol Golf Rangefinder.

Retirement Gifts for Outdoor Enthusiasts

Spending time in nature is another way many people enjoy retirement, whether it be camping, hiking, fishing or any other exterior activity.

A great gift option for a retiree who will spend most of their time outdoors includes a Smart Gear 3-pc. Pop-Up LED Lantern Set. These compact, portable lights are great for setting up around a campsite as the sun sets. The set includes one large and two small collapsible LED lanterns, providing effective use anywhere.

Retirement Gifts that Raise a Glass to the Golden Years

Celebrating a long career is a great reason to prepare a toast, and beverage and drink retirement gifts are ideal to honor the retiree of the hour! 

For the retiree who’s looking at learning mixology skills in their newly found free time, a 6-Piece Home Bar Set is a great gift option. It comes with everything they need to create cocktails at home, including a strainer, a pair of tongs, and a stand that holds all the included tools.

For wine lovers, a Food Network Electric Wine Opener makes a great gift. The opener features easy-to-use, one-button operation. It also comes with a convenient recharging stand and a foil cutter.

And for retirees who don’t partake in adult beverages, you can always give a practical and thoughtful coffee mug as a retirement gift.

Retirement Gifts for Amateur Chefs

If the guest of honor is a fan of making meals at home, they’re sure to keep up that hobby in retirement. There are plenty of useful kitchen tools, gadgets and more that make great gifts, all which will help with food preparation and serving.

A great women’s gold-tone watch to give as a retirement gift is a Seiko Essential Gold-Tone Stainless Steel Bracelet Watch. The stunning look of this watch makes it stand out, and is a great way to celebrate someone’s long career.
