Retirement Gifts Calendars for Search and Rescue
They survived. They're free. They deserve better than a generic card. The perfect calendars for the search and rescue in your life.
Why Calendars for Search and Rescue
SAR is a special breed. Volunteer hours, brutal conditions, and outcomes that range from miraculous to heartbreaking. You do it anyway because someone has to.
Regular calendars show you inspirational quotes about believing in yourself. Our calendars show you the truth: that every day is another opportunity to question your life choices. A daily tear-off page of dark humor gives you something to look forward to each morning besides coffee. It's like a daily affirmation, but honest.
About Retirement Gifts
After decades of mandatory fun, terrible coffee, and pretending to care about synergy, your coworker has finally earned their escape. This isn't just a career milestone—it's a prison break. They've sat through thousands of meetings that could've been emails, smiled through countless reorganizations, and mastered the art of looking busy. A retirement gift should acknowledge the beautiful chaos they're leaving behind while celebrating the fact that they never have to set an alarm again.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How much should I spend on a retirement gift?
- Depends on how much you liked them. Quick coffee chat coworker? $20-30. Actual work friend who kept you sane? $50+. Person whose retirement is the only reason you haven't quit? Priceless (but maybe $75).
- Is it weird to get a funny gift for someone's retirement?
- Only if they have no sense of humor. If they survived corporate life this long, they definitely have one. Skip the generic 'World's Best Retiree' mug and get something that actually makes them laugh.
