For the Time That Begins Now

Why our products make the perfect retirement gifts

After thirty or forty years at work, someone clears their desk for the last time, hands in the key and says goodbye to their colleagues. A retirement gift honours this lifetime of achievement and at the same time opens the door to everything that comes next: long evenings, spontaneous visits, time for friends. Whether it is a retirement gift from the team or a gift for starting retirement from the family: what you are looking for is a special gift that lasts.

Copper stands for permanence, a fitting match for a working life that has endured for decades. Every copper mug from Specter & Cup is hand-hammered from 100% pure copper, and no two pieces are alike. If you are saying goodbye to a colleague, the set makes a farewell gift for colleagues that the whole team can contribute to. It also cuts a fine figure as an elegant gift for your boss.

The farewell sparkling wine is quickly finished, the team card soon tucked away. What remains are the copper mugs: the food-safe coating inside and out keeps them shining like on the very first day, even after many years. If your company celebrates farewells regularly, you will find more ideas among our small gifts for employees. This is how the retirement gift becomes a companion for every free evening.

Words of Farewell

The enclosed greeting card leaves room for a thank you after many years together, for the signatures of the whole team or for a wish to accompany the new chapter of life.

Safe Until the Party

The copper mugs rest protected in the black premium box with copper-coloured print. This way you can hand over the gift at the farewell party without wrapping paper, and the wow effect follows the moment it is opened.

Cheers to Freedom

As soon as the first copper mug is unpacked, the copper shimmers reddish in the hand. A moment that shows: from now on, every evening is a well-earned evening off.

Frequently Asked Questions about Retirement Gifts

What do you give for retirement?

A retirement gift should celebrate the newfound free time and bring joy for a long time. Many people give an experience for a single day, but even nicer is something that stays in use for years. A handcrafted copper mug set from Specter & Cup combines both: it honours a lifetime of achievement with true craftsmanship and invites many shared evenings on the terrace or at the home bar.

Which retirement gift suits a woman or a man?

For her and for him alike: the gift should suit the new everyday life. The 2-piece set Cataleya with 400 ml is an elegant eye-catcher for evenings for two. Anyone who loves to welcome guests and finally has time for it will be delighted with the Moscow Mule set Líon with four copper mugs and six-piece accessories. Both sets come in the premium box, ready to hand over.

What do you give a colleague for retirement?

For colleagues, a joint gift from the whole team is a great choice. A copper mug set with four copper mugs, such as Líon or Barca for 89.95 euros each, is easy to chip in for and feels especially generous when presented. Add a recipe for the first drink of retirement, and your colleague will raise a toast to you on their first free evening.

Which drinks suit a retirement party?

Cold drinks are perfect for a farewell party, and that is exactly what copper mugs are made for. Top of the list is the Moscow Mule with vodka, ginger beer and lime. A Gin Basil Smash, a Whiskey Sour or an alcohol-free version with ginger beer, cucumber and mint taste just as good. The ice cubes clink, and the reddish shine turns every toast to the new chapter of life into a moment of indulgence.

How is a retirement gift from Specter & Cup delivered?

Specter & Cup is a German brand for handcrafted copper mugs and bar accessories. All copper mugs are made from 100% pure copper in family-run manufactories in India. The sets cost 49.95 euros for two and 89.95 euros for four copper mugs with accessories. Every retirement gift comes in a black premium box with copper-coloured print and a personal greeting card, ready to hand over.
