So yesterday I went gold shopping. I took a co-worker with me to help.
I have an employee retiring soon. A traditional gift if a piece of gold. Well, there are so many different kinds and designs that I didn't want to get the wrong thing. Gold, gold gold, animals, symbols, fish, and even an abacus.
And of course, there is a special Star Wars collection... because why not?
So what is a traditional gift for a retirement? Well thankfully my co-worker suggested a sail boat. It symbolizes a smooth journey. She had seen a gold sailboat over the weekend and suggested we find it. And she found that it was under my budget. Double points.
So this is the gift I will give on behalf of the department. It's a surprise so don't tell anyone! :)
A younger colleague said that the gift is very traditional. But he said that isn't what he wants for his retirement - he wants something modern and fun like annual pass to Disneyland! Duly noted.
I will share pictures of the retirement celebration in a few weeks!
