Any ideas for cheap gag gifts for a retirement party?

great gift ideas under $10 image

Eliza D

I'm basically looking for items that you would associate with someone getting older, like denture cream. The items have to be small-ish, and under $10. I need about 15-20 items, or one for each guest to purchase.

Thanks!

I went to Party City to get supplies to make gifts for a baby shower and I was amazed at all the things they had for retirement parties.

Hats, t-shirts, bottle bottom glasses, dinnerware (plates, napkins, cups, etc.), balloons,

Also you can buy plastic dentures, those denture cleaning tablets, key chains, wall plaques, t-shirts, balloons, balloon holders, plastic visors, readers (glasses) and embossing pens at a dollar store.

If you find something cool use the gold or silver pens to write some "insulting" phrase on it. You can also emboss glitter onto any object that can withstand the heat gun (or your blowdryer). If you buy t-shirts from the dollar store or at Michael's, AC Moore etc, you can get t-shirt printer paper for about ten bucks and write up something specific to the individual(s), print it on a regular printer and iron it on. You get 8-10 sheets and if you only use half you will have 16-20 iron on sheets. They have iron on patches with expressions on them too. (old fart, he's my old fart, old farting together, lol).

The flip flops are great as are big hawaiian shirts, big baggy boxers or baggy pants with an elastic waste (long or short).

Also check out oriental trading. They are an inexpensive place to get different party theme items from.

Have fun with it.

Does anyone know any good bay area gift ideas for meetings?

I am hosting a meeting out of state for a group of health and information technology professionals. I wanted to get San Francisco/Bay Area specific gifts for this group with a budget of $10 per person. Anyone have any ideas? This group really likes cookies, coffees, teas, chocolates, and anything edible. Since it'll be out of state, the gift needs to be non-perishable. Thanks for any suggestions you have.

Answer
Something specific to San Francisco would be great. Ghirardelli Chocolates, a key chain with a cable car, chocolate dipped fortune cookies from China Town, or a loaf of San Francisco sour dough bread and some suggestions that might work.

Here's a few websites that sell this type of thing:

Since Napa Valley is nearby, you could buy Napa Valley wine. There are some under $10.

Hope this helps.
