Focus on his interests and future plans: if he’s planning to travel, consider luggage or experience vouchers; if he’s taking up hobbies, look for high-quality tools or starter kits.
Personalize for sentiment: engraved watches, photo books chronicling his career, or a framed certificate of appreciation are meaningful keepsakes that recognize his work.
Consider experiences over items: a day trip, membership to a club, or a class can help him transition into retirement with new activities and social opportunities.
