Newsletter SignupThe holiday season is upon us, and finding the perfect gift for the lawyers in your life can be a real case of objection overload. But fear not! Conrad Saam and Gyi Tsakalakis of Lunch Hour Legal Marketing have compiled a list of thoughtful, unique, and practical gifts that will bring a smile to even the most serious lawyers and legal professionals.
Remember: The clock is ticking! You may be able to file an extension when things go awry in court, but Santa doesn’t get the same leniency and neither do his trusty elves. Shop now to make sure these lawyer-approved goodies don’t sell out or get delayed in shipping. Read below or save this festive Amazon list.
Listen to the companion podcast episode as you read the list:
The following items are just as unique as your legal friends are—they’re fun, thoughtful, and useful.
Tears of Opposing Counsel Tumbler
This tumbler is the ultimate conversation starter (or ender). Plus, it’s spill-proof—because the only drama legal professionals want is in the courtroom, not on their desk.
Smells Like the Best Lawyer Ever Candle
Both candles and lawyers have been known to melt under a little heat… though lawyers are better at keeping their cool in court! Consider this gift idea if the lawyer in your life has a good sense of humor.
S’well Stainless Watter Bottle
Even the sharpest legal mind needs to stay hydrated! This triple-layered, vacuum-insulated beauty keeps drinks cold for 36 hours or hot for 18, which is basically longer than their average workday (and definitely longer than that deposition they won’t stop complaining about).
On a more serious note, gifting a lawyer an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) could be a life-saving gesture. Lawyers often work in high-stress environments with long hours, tight deadlines, and intense pressure, all of which can contribute to health risks, including heart conditions. An AED ensures they have immediate access to critical first aid in the event of a cardiac emergency, whether in their office or during long days in court. While it’s a gift no one hopes they’ll need, its presence could make the ultimate difference in protecting their health and peace of mind.
The following items are stylish and practical picks that will keep your lawyer friends looking sharp in and out of the courtroom.
Icebug Shoes
These boots are the ultimate combination of function and flair. Plus, nothing screams “fearless litigator” like footwear that can tackle black ice AND deliver a mic-drop closing statement. Conrad Saam explains why he loves them so much: “Icebug shoes are deliberately built to help you from flipping and falling in winter weather. They literally have what look like old track spikes built into the soles so you don’t have to fall on your butt!”
Filson Oil Finish Double Tin Cloth Pants
Filson Oil Finish Double Tin Cloth Pants are the ultimate gift for the outdoorsy lawyer in your life. They’re made tough enough to survive rugged trails and rainy days.
Score big with your sporty lawyer friends this holiday season by getting them a jersey of their favorite team or player. They may not be able to wear it in their office, but they could either frame it in a shadow box or wear it on weekends.
A book is an affordable yet thoughtful gift for a lawyer, offering the chance to relax, learn, or be inspired without breaking the bank.
48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene
This book is the perfect read for any lawyer looking to sharpen their edge and take their career to the next level. In Conrad Saam’s words, “It feels like I’m reading a translation of Sun Tzu’s The Art of War with a bigger historical context. I can’t recommend the book enough.”
The Way: A Simple Roadmap for Leading a Healthy Law Firm by Allison McKeen, Ryan McKeen, and Brittany Green
Show the legal professional in your life that you care about their professional well-being—and the health of their firm. Law can be an intensely demanding field, and running a law firm requires balancing client needs, staff management, and business strategy, all while keeping everything running smoothly. This book offers practical advice for leading with balance, prioritizing mental health, and creating a sustainable work environment. Gyi Tsakalakis says that he’s enjoyed reading this book on his Kindle.

This microphone from Shure is the perfect tool for any lawyer looking to amplify their influence, share their expertise, or even record their next big pitch. Plus, let’s face it: every lawyer loves the sound of their own voice—especially when it’s broadcasted with professional-grade clarity! According to Gyi Tsakalakis, “This mic makes calls and podcast recordings a hundred percent better.” Don’t forget to purchase the extension arm so that it can be easily attached to a desk.
Say cheese! 📸 This $700 camera may have an intimidating price tag, but it’s value is priceless. With its versatile lens and sleek design, it ensures their content will look sharp and polished. Lawyers can use it to improve their social media efforts or even use it to document the events that make life worth living, like weddings and birthdays.
One-of-a-kind presents add a personal touch and stand out from the crowd. Here are a couple options that always work.
Unforgettable Experiences
Gifting an experience over an object creates lasting memories and meaningful moments. This is true for both lawyers and clients. Conrad Saam explains how he wowed clients by making them put their pedal to the metal: “We just did our customer summit and we did at a racetrack. There’s a company called Xtreme Xperience that we worked with. They travel around the country to racetracks around the country and you can take laps in exotic cars. People LOVED it!”
Charitable Donation
Donating your time or money in someone’s name as a gift shows thoughtfulness and compassion. Like Gyi Tsakalakis says, “Many people people are very passionately vocal about certain passion social causes. Some even have their own foundations or scholarships. I think making a donation in someone’s name is a great gift.”
The holidays are a time for connection, joy, and showing appreciation. Whether you go for something practical, fun, or meaningful, these gifts are sure to leave a lasting impression.
