At this budget you can choose between a keepsake that marks the end of his working life and something he will use in the years that follow, so start with how he plans to spend his time. A man looking forward to the garden, a quiet evening drink or a good laugh will each want something different. One well-chosen piece that fits his plans tends to mean more than a gift that only nods to the occasion.
