Hardback, 96 pages: a tongue-in-cheek guide to retirement for the newly retired
A 96-page hardback retirement book by Kate Freeman, with tongue-in-cheek advice and amusing illustrations for anyone newly retired.
£8.95Delivery from £3.69
A humorous retirement gift book for the newly retired, packed with tongue-in-cheek advice on the pleasures and pitfalls of retirement. It suits a friend, a parent or a colleague whose days have just changed. It's a light-hearted way to mark the end of an era.
Written by Kate Freeman, this hardback runs to 96 pages with amusing illustrations. It pokes fun at the idea that retirement is all lazy lie-ins and long lunches, then shows the pitfalls, from less free time than before to daytime TV that suddenly looks very appealing. It measures 120 x 159 x 15 mm.
Retirement parties and farewell lunches are the moment to hand one over. It's a funny, friendly way to welcome them to the next chapter. Choose it for the friend, parent or colleague who has just stepped away from work.
Perfect for: Secret Santa gifts
Great for: Gifts for grandparents · Gifts for colleagues · newly retired, retired mum or dad, retired friends, colleagues retiring
