Subscription Service
There’s a subscription service for everyone. Whether the retiree loves to read, watch movies, play video games, or do projects, there’s something he’ll love. For example, you might get a GameFly subscription for the retiree that loves to play video games or a Kindle Unlimited subscription if he loves to read. Think about what he loves to do in his pastime and choose a subscription service that matches.

Another great idea is sports equipment. Young retirees may love more exciting sports, like mountain climbing or scuba diving, while older retirees may love golf and fishing.
