The usual options — golf accessories, generic \"Retired\" merchandise, travel gear — don't account for the fact that engineers retire with something most people don't: decades of genuinely fascinating stories about work that actually mattered. A gift that acknowledges that — with humor, not sentimentality — is the one that gets remembered. Works for retirement parties, Christmas, birthdays, Father's Day, and gifts from adult children to a retired engineer parent.
