Hi everyone,
Im looking for some ideas for a retirement gift for my boss who is also now a very good friend. She is female, 60 (a very yound 60) and I have a budget of around £40.
She's not really a hobby person but she does go on a lot of holidays- skiing, cruises etc.
Thanks in advance if you have any ideas.

Hiya, 2 gift options spring to mind
1. A spa day - now that she has time to relax & spoil herself
2. A nice travel folder to hold all her documents in - or maybe some really nice luggage tags
I hope you find something nice:)0 -
A travel hamper of all the things she'll need on the holidays she'll be going on now she's got the time. Things like suncream, travel sized products, gadget for weight suitcases, travel plug etc and maybe a nice photo album to put in the photos of the memories she will be making.
Another suggestion could be a digital photo frame for those photo memories.[FONT="]“I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” ~ Maya Angelou[/FONT][FONT="][/FONT]0 -
If its travel things you are after the most useful I have ever had is a personalised luggage strap- SO handy when 1000 black cases are whizzing around the carousel!!

I also have a squashy pillow- polystyrene beads?
Stretchy clothes line which doesn't need pegs
Passport cover
Fold up lightweight bag for all the extras bought on holiday!
Small padlocks
really handy sponge bag with zip compartments, hangs up on door/shower railBeing polite and pleasant doesn't cost anything!
