A gift that really reflects the person receiving it

Not everyone wants to give the traditional bottle of wine or an impersonal gift set. A retirement deserves a gift that reflects the personality of the recipient.

Some will appreciate a touch of humour with a cap embroidered with ‘La Retraite’, whilst others will prefer a beautiful poster to decorate their new home, a game to enjoy with their loved ones, or even a gift set that will inspire them to plan their next getaways.

Our selection features a range of original gifts, often made in France, which will mark this new chapter in life with elegance and authenticity.

Retirement is often the time when people finally get round to travelling again. The Recto-Verso gift sets offer carefully selected walking or cycling adventure routes, accessible by train and approved by the IGN. A lovely way to give the gift of an experience rather than just an object.

Finally taking the time to enjoy a nice cup of tea

A new adventure begins

Retirement doesn’t mean stopping. Very often, it marks the start of new projects: travelling more, gardening, discovering new passions, spending more time with loved ones, or simply taking things at a more leisurely pace.

That’s why we’ve selected a range of items to complement this newfound freedom. These are original creations, often designed by French craftspeople and designers, which are meaningful and a pleasure to use long after your last day at work.

What’s a good gift idea for someone retiring?

Finding an original gift idea for a retirement isn’t always easy. The aim is often to give something that will be appreciated whilst marking this important milestone in someone’s life. At Kiplé, we favour gifts that are useful, long-lasting and meaningful, rather than short-lived presents.

You’ll find, amongst other things, caps with messages, Recto-Verso hiking sets, decorative posters made in France, board games, scented candles with messages, teas and herbal teas, as well as plenty of original gift ideas to suit all budgets.

Whether you’re looking for a gift for a colleague, a parent, a friend or a family member, this selection brings together items that will keep the memory of this day alive long after the speeches and the farewell drinks have ended.
