Thanks for the great gift ideas – my fiance and I just finished law school in May, and he just got a great job, so your blog was quite helpful!

Re: Gag gifts…have you ever heard of the monkey scribe voicemail? It’s this awful voice message from one lawyer to another in which the person leaving the message is screaming obscenities and eventually calls the other lawyer a “monkey scribe.” Anyway, someone turned it into a website, and they sell merchandise. Here’s the site:

Many of the items for sale are a bit on the offensive side (i.e. coffee mugs that say “I’m billing you for this” and shirts with jokes about how lawyers are drunks etc.), but I suppose that is the point of a gag gift. By the way, I’m not affiliated with the monkey scribe people, I just thought it was pretty funny.

Thanks again!
