For those top people in business, who have probably known the finer things in life, personalization is the key for the perfect retirement gift. It must be something that lets them remember their time in the corporation, where they had slaved for decades to get to the position of their dreams.
The gift must be something related to their former business interests, and which, after their life-time of profitable deals and spot-on investments, reminds them of those business-related activities that gave them pleasure and therefore makes them feel happy again. These two things are fundamental and essential to help the former executive remember how they lived their working lives, and of course, the one who thoughtfully gave them the present.
For the golfer: Nothing says leisure and enthusiasm more than the sport of golf. The demand for golf clubs, gloves, carts and the like has soared over the years due to the rise in industries like hedge fund investing and financial advice. More business people simply means more golfers since golf is the sport where most of them bond and get to know each other. Further evidence of this, is that golf courses are becoming more commonplace in rising economies like India and China, where Mission Hills and many other courses are often advertised in sporting media.
All it takes is some creative thinking. For instance, you could emblazon their company logo, family seal or monogram on some golf balls, markers, tees or their golf bag to display that certain kind of elitism that they relish. For those who like to take friends to the golf course with them, nothing says camaraderie more than personalized golf vests for the four friends!
If they have played particularly well in a memorable golf tournament, a small personalized scorecard print will also stimulate memories just as much as photos do. With their podium photos and ranks immortalized for ever, you can conjure up the joi-de-vivre of the golf competition and help the golfer (and other participants) to relive the moment just as if they were replaying and enjoying the game again.
Recreational Gambling: Some executives spend some of their free time in casinos, where they flaunt their wealth and try to win more at the same time. Such people live life in the fast lane, as hey say, gaining and losing a lot of money as they go along.

A personalized cigar case with a monogram and expensive wine go a long way in this direction.

Giving these kinds of gifts to retiring executives will be spot on. They ought to be able to live their golden years the way they want to and thinking along the lines of luxury and personalization will help you find the best retirement gift for them quite easily.
