I’ve also purchased for few senior USAF and foreign officers I worked with as an office retirement gift.

I bought a retiring Captain a star through starregistry.com (or something like that)
I suppose that could be viewed as cheesy but it went over quite well.
i did have the certificate framed as well!

The choice of a gift depends on your intentions. If you want to make fun of him or somehow mark his retirement, you can give him a cake with an inscription or a pair of socks. But, if you want to make him feel good, give him good alcohol or a chest of drawers for model airplanes that he has already collected. I always buy a gift basket when I do not know what to give. The basket can be filled with booze, sweets, and small items. This is a universal gift because it will suit everyone unless you can exchange whiskey for champagne if you decide to give something like this to your wife.

I just retired from the AF on Monday. My squadron gave me a plaque (quite large actually) with my “rules for flying” engraved on it (I.e. if you don’t know the code in the METAR, don’t fly there). It was super thoughtful and very unique.
