In the last week, MyFirstRecord.co.uk has taken two orders for a framed vinyl single to be presented as a retirement gift.

One retirement gift is for a long serving employee at Tata Steel, the other is to be presented as a unique personalised retirement gift to the Station Manager at Cotswold Hospital Radio, who has spent 15 years in that post. Both have served their organisations loyally for many years and their colleagues decided that a framed vinyl single of their favourite song would make a unique personalised retirement gift. It’s more original than a gold watch or gold carriage clock!!

If the recipient of the retirement gift, does not have a favourite or special song, how about the No1 song in the charts on the day they started the jobor the day they first started work?

Alternatively if there isn’t a favourite or preferred song, you could always opt for a generic retirement themed song from this Top 10 Best Retirement Songs –
