Happy Retirement to a special friend/Co-worker! This past week we celebrated "Her" Retirement and I made this Retirement Survival Kit for her. It turned out beautiful!
Inside the Large sand bucket were a lot of goodies and quotes attached to them and wrapped them all in clear cellophane. When she opened the gift, I had previously numbered them and had her read them to our group.
I also created a "Do not Disturb" door hanger and attached it to the pail handle.
1. Smiley Face Cookie : We’re wishing you a “Happy Retirement”
2. Markers: Retirement “Marks” the beginning of a new journey.
3. Toothpicks: When your retired you can “Pick ‘n Choose” what you do... (and when you do “it”)
4. Tootsie Rolls: May your retirement “Roll Along smoothly”
5. Crayons: May your days be colored with sunshine and love.
6. Cotton Balls: This is for the day you need to cushion your rocking chair while you enjoy sitting on the front porch.
