Is someone you know retiring or recently retired? Retirement gag gifts are a great way to send them off with a good laugh!

To get you started, here are some of my favourite ideas for gag retirement gifts, along with some ideas for funny messages that you could write in an accompanying card.

Feel free to get creative and adapt the ideas on this page as much as you like. After all, the best retirement gag gift could be one that you have personalised. Think about the retiree's hobbies and personality, and see if you can come up with a gag gift that makes a gentle (or perhaps not so gentle!) dig at one of their quirks :-)

And we have a new collection of Retirement quotes and Retirement wishes to help you find the words to wish them a happy retirement, so do check them out too!

Toilet Seat Photo Frame

When someone at your office retires...

  • Buy a cheap toilet seat.
  • Print a big photo of the person who's retiring.
  • Put the photo under the bottom toilet seat, so it's framed in the seat and you'll see it when you lift the lid.
  • On the lid of the seat write "Retirement" with a Sharpie marker
  • On the seat itself, write "When you've got to go, you've got to go!"
  • Everyone in the office can sign the lid
