Golf Clubs

If your retiring friend was into golf pre-retirement, we bet they'll be on the links even more post-retirement. While gifting a full set of golf clubs is an especially nice gesture, you could gift less-expensive golf accessories: gloves, bags, putters, or personalized balls.

Smart TV

A sweet new big-screen TV is perhaps the crème de la crème of retirement gifts. But if you're going to go all out, make sure to get them a smart TV (they are retiring in the 21st century, after all), and they'll be able to easily connect to Roku and other streaming services.

Espresso Machine

Most people have a coffee machine. But the best way to show your beloved retiree that you know how much they love caffeinated beverages is through a slick-looking espresso machine. The best part: when you're visiting, they'll offer you your choice of a cappuccino, an espresso, or a latte!

Spa Gift Basket

One of the best retirement gift ideas for women, a spa gift basket will mean a lot for the retiree who's immediately searching for R&R (rest and recuperation). These gift baskets can include bath soaps, teas, lotions, pumice stones, and maybe even a voucher for a massage.

Wine Sampler Package

Some consider champagne to be the consummate retirement gift. But a 6- or 12-pack wine sampler might be the better option, if only because he or she will be able to enjoy it for a few weeks. Try to find out their wine preferences ahead of time—red or white, cabernet or merlot, etc.—and you can tailor the package to their tastes.

Luggage

For many retirees, more travel is the number-one activity they're most looking forward to. Wish them bon voyage in style with new luggage, such as this lightweight, hardside suitcase, small enough to bring onboard most aircraft as a carry-on.

Gardening Gloves

Does your retiring friend have a green thumb? If so, protect those green thumbs and encourage a healthy, pleasant hobby with gardening gloves. These long-sleeve gloves offer maximum protection and fingertip grips. But any gardening accessory is an ideal gift, since it'll remind the retiree of happy seasons to come.

If you gift a bidet, chances are good that you won't be getting a repeat gift! Giving a bidet sends the retiree the signal that they've reached the next level of luxury, but without you having to spend a bundle (this attachment is only $24.99).
