I got the idea of this words from an article about retirement gifts : "Enjoy your new free time!"
A personalized gift such as a custom engraved watch or a photo album filled with memories from their time at work can be a thoughtful choice for a retirement party. Alternatively, a gift certificate for a hobby or activity they enjoy could also be a great way to celebrate their new chapter in life.
Usually, there is a committee set up to plan the retirement party. The price of the ticket includes food, entertainment and a gift, usually a gift certificate. If it is a private gift, then either a gift certificate or a personal gift is most appropriate.
The real answer is, it depends. It depends on the tenure and position of the person retiring and the relationship of the giver to the retiree. A huge part of figuring out how much to give is to know what the overall goal is - if there is a goal in mind, and how many people will be asked to contribute. For example, if the amount is $5,000 and 50 people are expected to contribute - on the surface that sounds like $100 per person. Only it isn't. It is several larger gifts of $250 or more and mostly smaller gifts of $35 to $75.
