Spa Day

• Sending your favorite retiree to a day at a spa will invigorate her and make her feel special long after she goes home. Most spas offer packages that may include facials, wraps, mud baths, massages, manicures, pedicures and meals.
  
  

Personal Gift Basket

• Fill a basket with goodies you know she'll love. It can be a spa basket with cleansing gels, moisturizers, sponges and bath salts. Or it might be a gourmet basket filled with her favorite treats. For the woman who enjoys cooking and looks forward to getting back in the kitchen, some new gadgets and an apron with a fun saying would make her smile.
  
  

Bookstore Gift Cards

• With all that time on her hands, she'll appreciate being able to choose her own reading material---whether she wants to read about a place she's always wanted to go, start a new hobby, or stock up on her favorite fiction.
  
  

Restaurant Gift Cards

• She will appreciate a gift card to her favorite restaurant. Consider one close to the office and encourage her to call so you can meet her there for lunch or after work for dinner.
  
  

Memory Box

• Help her remember the good times. Fill a decorated box with memorabilia that will make her smile.
  
  

Jewelry

• Choose a piece of jewelry you know she'll wear, like a bracelet or necklace. Every time she puts it on, she'll remember you and know you think she's special.
