Retirement party? Give them a real send-off.
Retirement gift: give them a real send-off
After years of meetings and early alarms, the new retiree finally has time. With the Ulysse gift card, you give a travel budget: they choose their destination and dates, then book their flight, hotel or car rental on Ulysse. More useful than yet another photo frame, and a lot more exciting.
Why give a trip as a retirement gift?
Because it’s the first gift they can use without asking for time off. Outside school holidays, for a long weekend or for the big trip they’ve been putting off for years: retirement is the time to travel whenever they like.
A trip also saves you from guessing their tastes. Beach, big city, hiking or visiting the grandchildren: you give the urge to travel, the new retiree decides the rest. And unlike an object, this gift won’t end up on a shelf.
For a colleague, a parent or a newly retired couple
Whether it’s a retirement gift for a woman or a man, for your mother, your father or a long-time friend, the gift card fits any plan, since the recipient chooses what to book.
Celebrating two people retiring, or a couple who stop working at the same time? One card is enough to fund a shared plan: the amount goes towards bookings made on Ulysse, up to its balance.
A joint gift from colleagues
For a retirement party, the easiest way is to collect everyone’s contributions, then have one person buy a card for the total. Put “The whole team” as the sender and add a message signed by everyone.
Choose the e-card so it arrives by email on the day of the party, or the printable card to hand over in person, tucked into the card signed by the team.

How much to spend on a retirement gift?
There’s no right amount: the gift card goes from €20 to €5,000. For a joint gift, start from the budget you’ve collected rather than a specific trip.
There’s no need to cover the whole trip. If the booking costs more than the card, the recipient pays the difference at checkout. If it costs less, the remaining balance stays on the card for a future booking, until its expiry date. For a card worth more than €5,000, contact our team.
How does it work?
The card is valid for 730 days from purchase to make a booking: the trip itself can take place after that date. It can only be used on Ulysse, not on the website or at the desk of an airline, hotel or car rental company.
