You’ve shared an office with your coworker for years and years. She took you under her wing when you were a newbie, showed you the ropes, and became your mentor. You knew that one day she would retire, but pushed that idea to the back of your mind. As tough as it is to believe, her retirement party is next week! Sigh. It’s going to be so hard to see her go and you want to give her a special gift that she will use for years to come. She loves to exercise and was just talking about trying something new once she retires. Does she enjoy cycling? Perhaps yoga is more her thing. We’ve compiled a list of items that are not only useful for a retiree to use in their daily exercise routine, but that are thoughtful too. After all, encouraging your coworker to continue her fitness journey shows her how much you care.
Things at the office just won’t be the same without your coworker, and sending her off with a thoughtful gift will show her how much she means to you. Perhaps the two of you could even sign up for a fitness class together to ensure that you remain friends even though you won’t see one another at the office every day. Change can be hard, but it can bring about great things too. We wish your coworker happiness in her retirement, and you an awesome new office mate who loves cats as much as you do!
