I have a cousin who is retiring from teaching. She is having a dinner tomorrow night to celebrate. I need gift suggestions.

How about a gift basket of luxurious morning tea things, now that she will have more time for leisurely, luxurious, morning teas? Beautiful cup, saucer, plate combo, selection of teas, selection of biscuits (sorry, cookies), maybe a magazine subscription so she has something to read while sipping her tea, a tray to put everything on.......

Consumables - wine, fruit or tea basket, tickets to a show or other event. Most people retiring are starting to think of downsizing and don't need "stuff".

I bought my friends a pretty crystal candy dish. I purchased some chocolate bon bons to put in the dish. I gave her a card that says something along the lines of "Now that you can sit around and eat bon bons all day, I wanted to get you prepared."

My parents appreciated things to further hobbies or traveling. Gift cards for books, maps and books about traveling, wine, gift card for cooking lessons/pottery class/etc.
