Frequently asked questions
What is a retirement memory jar?
A retirement memory jar is a lovely, personal group gift for someone leaving: colleagues, friends or family each fill in a small card — sharing a favourite memory of working with them, a wish for their retirement, or a thank-you — and all the cards go into a decorated jar for the retiree to take home, read at their leisure and treasure. It's more meaningful than a standard card because it captures lots of individual voices and specific memories, and it's a gift the person can dip into again and again. It works brilliantly for a retirement because it celebrates a whole career's worth of relationships and impact. Set it up quietly in advance — leave the cards and a box somewhere people can fill them in privately, or email round and collect them — so there are plenty by the send-off. Provide a few different prompts to spark ideas, since a blank card can leave people stuck. It pairs nicely with a memory book or a speech, and makes the retiree feel genuinely appreciated as they head off.
