Veterinary professionals spent their days and nights working to save lives. When they reach a certain age, they can consider retirement to change their daily routine and pace of life. Some people even continue working or volunteering with animals. Other professionals in veterinary medicine choose to have an early retirement.
One thing is for sure; once someone gets involved with veterinary medicine, they will always continue to be the voice for the animals and our heroes! They have done a lot for the wellbeing of the furriest family members.
Retirement parties are a celebration of the end of a career chapter and the beginning of a new phase in life.
If you work in a vet practice or are a family member of a veterinary professional and received an invitation to their retirement party, you may be wondering, “what should I purchase for this occasion”?. We know it can be a bit tricky as you may have usually given them veterinary equipment or something that they can use at work as a gift for special events.
Don’t worry; we’ve got you! Here is our selection of best gifts for a retirement party of a veterinary professional.
The 7 Best Gifts for a Retirement Party of a Veterinary Professional
When deciding the perfect gift for their retirement celebration, ensure to take into account their personality and what is important to them.
If the purrfect gift doesn’t adapt to your budget, you can conspire with other coworkers or members of the family to organize a group gift!
Sneakers
Comfortable shoes always make an excellent present for anyone! But they are especially useful for retiring veterinarians and veterinary nurses as they may have worn out sneakers in their closet after years working at a veterinary practice.
Our sneakers have animal-related designs, and they can be a great piece to wear as a reminder of their passion and profession! It is something to be very proud of!
Tumblers
Tumblers are the best present for coffee or tea lovers. We know that many people working in the veterinary sector drink beverages with caffeine for an extra boost of energy. Even when veterinary professionals are retired, they may still drink a few cups of coffee as part of their routine. They can also refill it with a cold drink on a hot day.
In our online store, we have high-quality, beautifully designed tumblers with veterinary quotes and images that we are sure retiring vets and vet nurses will appreciate and enjoy!
And the best part? We can also customize the tumbler for you by adding their name or a phrase under the design.
Necklace
Does the retiring veterinary professional love jewelry? Our stunning veterinary-inspired accessories are the ideal gift for her! We can add a personal touch by engraving their name, a date or a saying such as “Congratulations on the start of a new chapter”
You have a great range to choose from:
Before purchasing a necklace is essential to ask yourself these questions: What is her style? And what is her personality? A dog tag necklace wouldn’t suit someone who has a sophisticated fashion style!
ZIP hoodies
ZIP hoodies are a great gift for those who love being comfortable at home without having to wear pajamas or for those who enjoy walking in the vicinity on a chilly day.
Our ZIP hoodies come with different veterinary designs to suit any age and personality! Check them out here.
Do you want to make it extra special? We can also customize it with a photo of their furry friend – such a thoughtful idea!
T-shirts
A veterinary t-shirt is a must-have for every person involved in the veterinary community! We have unique designs and colors for everyone.
Retiring veterinarians and vet nurses can wear this piece of clothing and be very proud of what they did for many years! It can be a heartfelt gift.
Give this amazing present at their retirement party, and we are confident that they will wear it straight away!
We can also personalize it with a photo of their canine or feline companion.
