He got:<br /> A bottle of really nice bourbon<br /> A bag of his favorite Starbucks beans, plus some instant Starbucks packs.<br /> A mug from Cafe Press with our company's logo on it (to remember us by). :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-been-to-a-retirement-party#post-798219 Tue, 21 May 2013 13:18:02 +0000 heffalump 798219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't been to one, but I've been thinking of gifts for my mom since she should be having one soon.
