Talk about a last-minute retirement gift!
While on vacation in Tahoe with our great friends and my son Shaun’s in-laws Lou & Lyn, Ron and I remembered that Lou was set to retire in just days. We wanted to surprise him and celebrate his milestone.
Visit the grocery store next door, of course! A quick Pinterest search inspired a sweet idea! So after a trip to Raley’s and a quick letter, we presented Lou with our gift.
We filled up a beautiful picnic basket with candy and wine and read the below letter to him. The ***bold type represents candy bars which are listed below the letter. We lined the picnic basket with candy bars (as well as a bottle of wine) and presented them to him in order as we read the letter.

The picnic basket and candy bars bought on a whim at a nearby Raley’s in Tahoe, California. With the right words, this makes a fun, last-minute retirement gift.
Ron and I read the letter and take out the candy bars on cue.
Lou enjoys the show while grandson Wyatt looks on. Happy retirement!
