You’ve heard about retirement for a long time: contributions, reforms, a lot of very exciting things. But above all, ESPECIALLY, you hear about it because you are told that when you are “young”, you will never have one. So unless you are one day retired, you necessarily know a colleague, a parent, a friend of a parent, in short someone who is going to retire (and it is not a vacation destination) and who you should give a gift that he will remember forever. From kitsch gifts to the most original, we’ve put together a Top with little onions for the occasion!
