Okay, so your coworker, maybe even your work bestie, is finally retiring! Cue the confetti, right? Except… staring at that blank retirement card feels a little daunting. You want to say something meaningful, something that captures all the years of shared coffee breaks, inside jokes, and maybe even a few minor office crises you navigated together. But “Happy Retirement!” just feels… underwhelming, doesn’t it?

Because honestly, generic retirement wishes just don’t cut it. They’re like a department store greeting that everyone else will be writing. Imagine the card getting passed around, each person scribbling the same old thing. It ends up feeling impersonal, a little bit like you just grabbed the first thing you saw. And you *know* this person deserves more than that after all their hard work and dedication.
