The perfect retirement gift with a lasting memory
Retirement is a meaningful moment: the end of a working life and the beginning of a new phase filled with peace, freedom and plans to further enjoy life. After many years of dedication, the retiree can finally pause, look back on beautiful memories and look ahead to a new stage in life. But what do you give someone who is retiring? This special moment deserves a perfect retirement gift that matches the recipient’s personality and interests.
A StoryTile is a beautiful retirement gift with a personal message that becomes a lasting keepsake. Each tile is handmade in the Netherlands and tells its own small story of friendship, love, adventure or gratitude.
What do you give someone who is retiring?
Choosing the right retirement gift can be challenging. You want to give something that truly suits the person and the moment, something that won’t disappear into a drawer but has real meaning. While flowers fade and wine is enjoyed, a StoryTile remains a lasting reminder with a special place in the home.
Choose a tile with a symbolic design, such as a bird taking flight, a sailboat heading toward new adventures or a sunset representing a new phase of life. Each tile is unique in its details. Add a personal message to create a gift that both touches the heart and brings joy.
Original retirement gifts for family, friends or colleagues
An original retirement gift is one that truly resonates. Whether it’s for a colleague saying goodbye, a friend finally making time for hobbies or a family member entering a new chapter, our collection offers tiles for every personality: bold, lighthearted, loving, humorous, or deeply moving.
Retirement gift for an employee
When an employee retires, it’s important and nice to show your appreciation and recognition. The gift can symbolize years of dedication, teamwork and shared experiences. Choose a StoryTile with a meaningful design, such as a bird flying free or a boat heading toward a new horizon; a metaphor for more freedom after working life. Add a personal message from the team or employer to make it truly special.
Retirement gift for an employer, director or manager
When selecting a retirement gift for an employer or manager, the focus is on leadership and gratitude. A subtle, stylish design works best, think of a tile with a calm color palette or a classic Delft blue design. Pair it with a short, powerful message reflecting their vision or contribution.
Retirement gift for father or mother
A retirement gift for your father or mother can be personal and emotional. Choose a design that reflects their interests: flowers for the garden lover or a sea or travel theme for those planning new journeys. This way, you give a warm gift that brings a smile every day.
Giving a personalized retirement gift
A personalized retirement gift shows you’ve put thought into both the moment and the person. At StoryTiles, you can personalize a tile with a name, date or short message. First, choose a design that suits the recipient, then add your own text. We literally bake your words into the ceramic, making them a permanent part of the design. The result is a unique, personal gift, a tangible memory of a new beginning.
Retirement gift delivery
Can’t be there to give the gift in person? A StoryTile makes a perfect letterbox gift. We carefully pack your retirement gift in a sturdy, flat box and can send it directly to the recipient: at home, at the office or abroad. We ship worldwide.
Order before 4:00 PM and non-personalized tiles will be shipped the same business day. Personalized tiles are baked especially for you; please allow approximately two weeks for delivery (three weeks for designs with gold details).
Gift wrapping for a festive presentation
Want the recipient to unwrap their gift with a big smile? Have your tile beautifully gift-wrapped, ready to give or send. This special moment deserves festive packaging. At checkout, choose a gift bag, gift box or luxury tin, finished with our light blue ribbon. Add a card with your personal message and we’ll take care of the rest.
