Pack something that would be useful to the family, even dinner outs and movie passes would be great – something the whole family can enjoy.
You can also choose your gift depending on his favourite timepass, now that his retiring, he’d surely use them. So, if the retiring executive loves golf, get him a golf kit, if his idea of retiring is to sit down and watch his favourite shows, maybe get him a CD or DVD collection of his favourite show, even a home theatre.
Apart from the usual gifts of branded watches and the likes, you could opt for some nautical reproductions desk clock with compass, Piano finished desk clock with compass, solid brass desk compass and many more. While they sure look unique, they are available in the price range of a few dollars to just a hundred or two. They make perfect executive retirement gifts.

However, remember that your gift will also depend on the sex of the retiring person. So, get an appropriate and different gift for male and female.
