Maybe a mentoring charity with a note on how much she touched your life and hopefully others have the same opportunity. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/suggestions-on-a-retirement-gift-for-mentor#post-1093330 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 18:09:03 +0000 kentuckygirl 1093330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Great suggestions from all of you!!!

A former boss, mentor and friend is retiring from our company. She is out of state but I would like to send a gift or something to commemorate her retirement. The only thing I can think of is a restaurant gift card, along with a greeting card. COMPLETELY unoriginal! </p> <p>I haven't worked closely with her in 6 years, so I don't have a good pulse on current hobbies, but she used to enjoy gardening and being part of her church choir. She will take some time off but then will seek a part-time job or second career. Anyway, does anyone have suggestions of something a little more personal to send her upon her retirement? Thanks! </p>
