Case Closed — These Are the Best Gifts for Lawyers

Sadly, Ruth Bader Ginsburg passed away of complications from metastatic pancreas cancer at the age of 87. But she still lives on in the hearts of many. So much so, that there’s merch honoring each of her iconic bench styles. Following Trump’s election, RGB wore her “dissent collar.” Shortly after, the phrase “I Dissent” (and various depictions/illustrations of her collar) became a fashion statement. RBG truly was the GOAT.  This mug features an illustration of RGB (in her dissent jabot) giving the double-bird.

This handmade, 100 percent soy wax candle is non-toxic, soot-free, dye-free, and burns 30-50 percent longer than traditional paraffin wax candles (according to the product’s description). Choose from a variety of scents including Whiskey, Lavender, Banana Nut Bread, Blueberry Cheesecake (yum!), among others. Perfect for a law student who needs a little light as they study into the night, or even an attorney who needs some zen after a long day in a deposition. “Ordered as a gift for a friend who recently graduated from law school; I got the peach nectar and it smells amazing!” one Etsy reviewer writes.

Similar to the “bride-to-be” style hangers, this handmade hanger makes for a perfect graduation gift. Available in Cherry, Mahogany, White, Walnut, Oak, or Black wood, “The Law Suit” hanger measures 17.5” wide and can be customized with your grad’s last name (as long as it’s 17-19 characters long).  “Got this as a gift for a friend in law school,” one Etsy reviewer writes. “The design is lovely and looks just like the pictures!”

This mug is pretty cute, tbh. On one side, there’s a pole-dancing unicorn depicted underneath the word “Me” and on the other, a normal-looking horse is standing underneath the words “other lawyers.”  “I bought one of these for each of the lady lawyers in my office (and of course, one for me),” one Amazon reviewer writes. “They loved them! One told me she uses it every morning.

Themis is an ancient Greek Titaness. She’s known as the “lady of good counsel” or the “goddess of divine law, order, and customs.” Here, she’s depicted (in statue form) blindfolded and holding the balanced Scales of Justice and a sword (to cut fact from fiction).  “Bought this for my daughter in law who’s in law school,” one Amazon reviewer writes. “She LOVED it. The white looks like marble, but without the marble pricing. The gold accents really set her off.”

Is your law student studying to be an immigration lawyer or practicing their craft internationally? According to Intercultra Costa Rica being bilingual or multilingual is a “critical” skill for lawyers, especially for those who handle cases overseas. Instead of piling the pressure on with yet another class, give your law student the opportunity to learn at their own pace with Rosetta Stone. Starting at $7.99 a month, you can choose one of several languages to give to your favorite lawyers through a year-long Rosetta Stone app subscription.

This isn’t just a coffee maker, it’s an espresso machine. And it’s compact, so it’ll fit just about anywhere (even in the smallest of offices).  “If you’re currently using a Keurig, then you have never had coffee,” one Amazon reviewer writes. “Throw your Keurig away and buy this. Kidding aside, this produces flavors 300% better than the best Keurig.”

Did you know that artificial plants have a similar effect on our mental health as live plants do? According to Psychology Today, fake plants can offer the same health benefits as real, indoor plants as long as they look genuine. This three-pack of artificial eucalyptus is ideal for office or home decor.  “I have tons of fake plants around my house,” one Amazon reviewer writes. “I love the look they give with the convenience of never having to water them or worry about keeping them alive. I purchased these and they look amazing in my home! I have one on my nightstand, one in my bathroom, and one on my coffee table. They compliment my decor so well. Would definitely recommend it!”
