A Luxury Fountain Pen

Montblanc Meisterstuck

Retirement is the beginning of a new chapter, so why not give him a gift that symbolises this?

A luxury fountain pen would make a fantastic retirement gift. We adore Montblanc’s Meisterstück Le Petit Prince Doué Classique fountain pen in burgundy. The champagne-coloured 18k gold-coated nib is crafted by hand, and it features the drawing of the rose from Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s Little Prince. It’s a beautiful example of the renowned brand’s craftsmanship that will make his jaw drop.

Decadent Afternoon Tea

Peter Pan Afternoon Tea at Aqua Shard

Let your retirement gift give him a chance to indulge in a decadent Peter Pan-themed afternoon tea at Aqua Shard. He and a guest can enjoy contemporary versions of classic teatime treats while enjoying a view of the London skyline that is second to none. It’s a thoughtful present for the man who’s a bit of a foodie as well as a fan of that grand British tradition.

A Fine Whisky

Highland Park Whisky

If you’re looking for retirement gifts for men who appreciate whisky, choose something that he will savour on special occasions and remember your thoughtfulness whenever he does it. He cannot but be impressed with a bottle 30-year-old Highland Park. It’s the second-oldest whisky in the range produced by the award-winning distillery in Kirkwall, Orkney. He’ll be seduced by its spicy, chocolate orange, fudge notes.

A Fly-Fishing Lesson

Retirement’s a time when many people take up new hobbies. If he has mentioned an interest in fly-fishing, surprise him with a tutored lesson with Halstead and Bolton Fly Fishing School. He’ll no doubt relish the chance to spend a day learning about freshwater fly-fishing with fisherman Bob Sherwood in the beautiful Weald of Kent. The experience will give him a solid foundation on which to build.

A Top-Quality Timepiece

Tiffany and Co Atlas Watch

Good quality clocks and watches are wonderful retirement gifts for men, as they demonstrate gratitude for the time they devoted to their work. Why not spoil him with a top-quality timepiece? We think Tiffany & Co.’s Swiss-made Atlas watch in stainless steel and with a black azure dial is one to consider.

5-Star Spa Experience

Chuan Body + Soul Spa

Could he do with an opportunity for some renewing R&R? Give him a renewing spa day as a retirement gift. He’ll thoroughly enjoy the chance to de-stress at the Langham Hotel’s Chuan Body + Soul. Therapists will pamper him with a selection of ginger-based treatments and massages. The spa is based on the five elements of traditional Chinese medicine, so he sure to leave feeling recharged in mind and body.

London Chess Set

London skyline chess

Does he play chess? Give him a retirement gift that he’ll be only too happy to have as a centrepiece in his home. Skyline’s premium metal London edition set features various city landmarks as the pieces. He’ll see Big Ben, Canary Wharf, the London Eye, the Shard, and St Mary Axe among them on the hand-printed Italian Carrara marble or wooden board. If he has never played the game, a chess set this gorgeous will give him a reason to learn.

PGA Pro Golf Lesson And Play

Has he been bragging about taking up golf when he retires? Let your gift for his retirement be a chance to learn the ropes from a PGA pro at the world-famous St Andrews Indoor Golf Centre and the Balgove Course. He’ll pinch himself to make sure he’s not dreaming about such a fantastic opportunity to enjoy such exclusive private tutoring!

Personalised Golf Scorecard Holder

 Hide & Home Italian Leather Golf Scorecard Holder

If he’s already an experienced golfer, give him a gift that adds a touch of luxury to his game. He’ll be happy to receive a personalised Italian leather golf scorecard holder. The luxuriously soft leather is hand-stitched, and the edges have been bevelled, burnished, and sealed with beeswax. Your gift to him on his retirement will make him the envy of his golf partners.

Mindful Painting Class

Man painting

A painting class is a fantastic retirement gift for men, especially if they are more creative than they are sporty. When done mindfully, painting becomes a relaxing meditation and a means of therapeutic self-expression. At MasterPeace’s mindful painting class, he’ll learn artistic skills and techniques that will enable him to approach the other areas of his life with mindfulness.

A Welsh Gourmet Getaway

Tyddyn Llan in Wales

Is he a foodie? Astonish him with a retirement gift of gourmet getaway for him and a partner in Wales. He can head to Tyddeyn Llan, a husband and wife-run restaurant and rooms in a gorgeous Georgian house in a rural setting. The getaway is all about the fantastic dishes prepared using seasonal ingredients by respected chef Bryan Webb. The recipient is sure to love every minute of the experience.
