When it comes to buying retirement gifts it is very easy to fall into the trap of buying things that are unoriginal and suggest that all the person retiring is planning on doing now that they are not working is sit at home and relax with a spot of gardening. Of course there is nothing wrong with this choice but it is important to remember that most people who retire are far from over the hill and are still looking for thrills and adventure (after all...every day is a holiday now!) Your choice of retirement present can help achieve this! There are so many fabulous gift ideas you can choose from that are unique, original and adventurous!

If the person who you are buying the retirement gift for has a particular love of cars there is no better present you can get them than a Ferrari thrill at Silverstone. You will be giving them the chance to drive the world's most famous car at the world's most famous driving venue and the home of the British Grand Prix. This gift includes a car briefing from your instructor who will share the necessary skills needed to drive this fantastic car, they will then be taken out to the track and ...
... left to enjoy the Ferrari 360 for three exhilarating laps around Silverstone's Southern Circuit. They will even receive a certificate at the end of the day that they can keep as a keep sake to remember their day.

Or if Ferrari's are not to their liking...how about a day of go-karting with a Grand Prix Karting Experience Day Pack? What better thrill than speeding round some of the country's best loved circuits in a professional go-kart built for speed? A very original idea for a retirement gifts!

Sky Diving is a thrill that a lot of people would love to experience but jumping out of a plane seems just a bit too scary...What better gift idea than an indoor skydiving experience pack? Indoor skydiving involves a powerful wind tunnel that gives you the same experience and thrill as if you were actually falling through the air (with no need to jump out of a plane!)

If the person you are buying for enjoys boating and is looking for an adrenalin rush then the Powerboat Zapcat Blast is a perfect retirement gift idea! Originally designed for surf rescue the light weight catamarans have been redesigned for short course, offshore powerboat racing. Their day out will include a speedy trip out of the bay by RIB then the main event, two hours worth of adrenalin fuelled fun on the Zapcat! Trips like these and others are available to purchase from gettingpersonal.co.uk.

Another great idea for people who enjoy boating is a Yacht Race Day. They will get to experience the thrill of close yacht racing in a modern Cork 1720 yacht. You can even include your very own personalised gift pack which is perfect for making their retirement gifts more unique and special to them.

Scuba diving is a great gift idea for people who want to discover and explore and experience the thrill of the beautiful sea life. The gift also includes a personalised gift pack which will add a special twist to your present idea and make the whole day more memorable.

A day out that is guaranteed to be a fun and memorable experience is a day of paintballing! After all you are never too old to play soldiers and paint balling is not only fun but it tests your endurance, helps you work as a team and tests your leadership skills. Gift packs are available for up to four people.

A gift that is a very new and original idea is a new craze called SCAD diving. It is the only system in the world that allows unattached, controlled free fall from 150 feet up. This is an experience they are unlikely to forget in a hurry which makes it a wonderful, adrenalin filled gift idea.

Gliding is another wonderful gift idea especially for anyone who has ever had dreams of flying or being a pilot. They'll get to enjoy three flights by aero tow as well as course notes, tuition and a month's club membership so there is the option to return for more flying at reduced rates!

So why not try one of these gift ideas and give them an absolute gem of a retirement party!
