Some people have dreamed of retirement from their first day in the workplace. Others are loath to stop working and wonder what they would do with all the spare time. Either way, the transition from 9 to 5 to do-whatever-you-please is a major shift and one that is frequently marked with a great deal of fanfare. When you consider that the average career might span forty years or more, and include several different types of work along the way, stepping into retirement is a new adventure indeed. It's not uncommon for retirees to be honored with parties given by their company, their family or both.

Gifts that will be enjoyed during the carefree years ahead are frequently part of the celebration.
