Congratulate the law school graduate in your life with a thoughtful gift.
Earning a law degree takes years of effort and dedication. Once graduation finally rolls around, law school graduates are ready to celebrate and plan their futures. Be a part of the celebration by giving the graduates in your life a gift that signifies how proud you are of them and their dedication.
Finding the appropriate gift for law graduates can be tricky; however, giving a gift to help them build their new careers is sure to be appreciated.
Leather Portfolio or Briefcase
Lawyers need professional-looking accessories to help them get organized for the courtroom. Giving your law graduate a leather portfolio or briefcase will help him or her keep notes, briefs and other important documents organized. As an added bonus, leather-bound accessories are very elegant and make the lawyer look professional and sophisticated.
High-quality leather portfolios and briefcases can be found both online and in brick-and-mortar retailers. Prices can range from less than $100 to several thousand dollars, depending on your budget. When considering a leather portfolio purchase, think about the taste and image of the law school graduate; for example, don't give a brown portfolio to someone who wears a lot of black. Also, consider your budget. Don't spend several hundred dollars on a designer briefcase if you can only afford a mid-level one--your graduate will understand and appreciate the thought.
Custom Pantsuit
Lawyers, especially new lawyers building their careers, must dress to impress and show their professionalism at all times. They must have several professionally tailored pantsuits to wear to court, client meetings and other important events.
It's likely that a new graduate has several suits to wear. This is why a custom pantsuit makes a great graduation gift. However, you can't simply buy something off the rack and expect it to fit; instead, the best thing to do is give a gift certificate to a custom clothier who can tailor the suit to the graduate's measurements. Or, if a gift certificate seems too impersonal, simply make an appointment for the graduate and pay for whatever suit he or she chooses.
This gift can be pricey, especially for custom designer suits. However, if your budget allows it, it makes a great gift that your graduate is sure to appreciate.
New Office Decor
Becoming a new lawyer means your law graduate will have a new office to call his or her own. A new office can look bare without decoration, so give your law graduate professional décor to make it look more "lived in."
Examples of good décor for offices include a nameplate customized with the law graduate's name and title, bookends, paperweights and desk clocks. The best part of these gifts is that they can fit any budget--if your budget is low, you can opt for something less expensive. If you have more money to spend, then giving something customized and engraved is a surefire way to make a law graduate feel special.
