The 15 Best Retirement GIFs for the Perfect Send Off

So, it’s finally happening - your coworker of many years is retiring. It's been a long time coming and now the moment is here.
How long were they with your team? Maybe 5 years? Maybe 10? Maybe 20 or even more! Perhaps this is the longest job they’ve had in their career and they are now on the final stretch. Regardless, we believe it’s an achievement worth celebrating.
How do you mark this occasion? An easy way is to share your favourite stories about them - and encourage your other colleagues to do the same. You can let them know how happy you are for them - that they can finally put their feet up. Off to the beach, the golf club or art group they go. You’re not jealous, of course not - much better to continue working.
What can really add that extra shine to your message, though, is matching it with a GIF to really sell it! After all, an animated image is worth a thousand (well ok, maybe a hundred?) words! Luckily, with a Thankbox group card you get the best of all worlds! Words, images, videos, GIFs all in one! It’s a board full of messages and funny retirement GIFs you can send to the lucky retiree.
To help with your GIF search we at Thankbox have compiled a list of 15 quality GIFs, guaranteed to get a laugh - or at least a smile - from the recipient. We have split them up in 3 categories - “I’m done”, “Put your feet up” and “Have a drink”.
Without further ado, here is the list. Enjoy!
PROMO
I'm done
After all when you retire you are done with it all aren't you? Done with work, done with the 9 to 5, D. O. N. E. And here are 5 GIFs that can say that in a way words just cannot capture.

Put your feet up and enjoy it
It's what we all look forward to at the end of each day isn't it? Putting our feet up and relaxing. Maybe going to the beach. Maybe even moving to the beach - why not? Plan a cruise? You have a lot more of that "me time" to look forward to when retiring so here are 5 GIFs that capture that spirit.
