Retirement
A retirement card for a boss that is warm without being a speech
A wound music box for a retiring boss: the lid lifts on a photo, your letter, and the folded notes the team wrote - short, specific, and not a single "valued leader". Free to build and preview, €3 to send.

This is what they get
What to write in a retirement card for a boss
“You hired me when my CV did not really justify it. I have thought about that a lot this week. Thank you, and enjoy the quiet.”
“Best manager I have had, mainly because you took the blame upward and the credit never came back down. Have a spectacular retirement.”
“Thank you for twelve years of straight answers. Whatever you do next, do it slower than you did this.”
How it works
What they will see
- Turns the key three times — the mechanism winds and the lid unlocks.
- Lifts the lid: your photo with its caption, then the letter itself.
- Unfolds the little notes one by one, then taps a reply back to you.

Frequently asked questions
How do you strike the right tone with a boss you liked but were not close to?
Say what they did, not what they were. "You never once made me redo work to make yourself look thorough" is a real sentence; "an inspirational leader" is a plaque. One concrete line from each person is what makes the box worth winding.
Can the whole team sign it?
Yes. Everyone adds a folded note from their own phone before you send it, and each note opens separately, so a two-line message sits comfortably next to a longer one.
Is it appropriate for a formal workplace?
There is no confetti and nothing sings. It opens quietly: a key, a lid, a photo, the words. It costs €3 to send one - one person pays, nobody collects cash in an envelope.
