Finding the right gifts for lawyers doesn’t have to be a hassle. While cheeky gifts like a gavel-shaped stress toy or a mug with a law-related joke may result in a chuckle when your lawyer friend unwraps their gift, it’s better to choose a gift that can improve the way they practice law.
We’ve compiled a list of the best, most useful gifts for lawyers and law practitioners in 2023.
This is a relatively affordable gift that’s also very thoughtful. While prices may vary depending on the style of business card, you can easily order a batch of 500 beautifully designed business cards online for less than $45.
Online business card suppliers include:
Lawyers are constantly writing and taking notes. To make this process more enjoyable, consider an e-Ink tablet or a reusable notebook. These are great gifts for lawyers due to their convenience and usefulness.
The two most popular e-Ink tablets on the market are the reMarkable 2 ($299) [above] and the Kindle Scribe ($339.99)[below]. Both include a pen which allows users to handwrite their notes without having to worry about running out of notebook pages. The reMarkable 2 is also compatible with additional components such as a keyboard.
Take the Rocketbook ($30), for example. While it looks like a regular notebook, it only has 32 glossy pages. The magic of this notebook is its scannable pages. Users simply write notes as they normally would, take out their phone, use the Rocketbook app to snap a picture of the page, and convert handwritten notes to a word document!
While laptops make working on-the-go easier, they can make working for long periods quite uncomfortable, especially if the laptop is resting on your actual lap. This is where lap desks come into play.
As their name suggests, these excellent gifts for lawyers basically serve as a miniature desk for your lap. Some options, like this $35 lap desk from Amazon, even include a mousepad and a phone holder. By giving the gift of a lap desk, attorneys can turn any seat into their office!
In our modern age, digital subscriptions have become some of the most popular gift ideas. This is no different for lawyers and law practitioners. From website builders to legal billing tools and digital subscriptions to legal titles, let's look at the best digital gifts for lawyers to consider.
The titles included are:
The online subscription includes forms for all the titles, and they are all easily accessible online via the Texas Bar Practice website. All you need is an internet connection! Even if your gift recipient only focuses on one or two practice areas, having all eight titles easily available can assist their legal career by allowing them to expand their practices.
With annual and monthly options, the All-Access Online Subscription is a must-have for associates and partners alike.
A yearly subscription to a website building platform such as Squarespace, Wix, or Wordpress can be an excellent gift for any lawyer, especially one who either doesn't have a website or has an outdated one.
While this gift may require a bit of work on the recipient's side (they'll have to set up the site and make edits themselves), it will be a great starting point to promote law business online.
Best of all, many website building platforms include beautiful pre-made website templates and blog-posting capabilities, so users don't need to know anything about web development or design!
Some popular website building platforms to consider include:
These subscriptions tend to be available on a monthly or yearly subscription basis so you can either choose to pay for an entire year upfront or just for a few months. Just remember to let the gift recipient know that you've set an end date, so the subscription won't keep charging you.
Legal software is yet another great subscription gift for lawyers and law practitioners. Two such options are Bill4Time and Clio.
Bill4Time offers various products and plans. The most affordable one (Time & Billing/$27 per month) includes the following:
Similarly, Clio has four plans available with EasyStart being the most affordable one. EasyStart ($39/month) is used to track time and "get paid." Features include:
When it comes to gifts for lawyers, it's necessary to choose something that will elevate the way they practice law.
