15 Funny, Quirky and Handy Gifts for Lawyer Boyfriend + 4 Guidelines for Gifting Him Something He'll Really Like (2020)

As a lawyer, your boyfriend is proud to belong to this noble but demanding profession. His job makes up a large part of who he is, so acknowledge it with a gift that recognises his identity as a lawyer.

Pick out gifts that show him that you understand his life as a lawyer – the demands made on him, the challenges and the stress. This thoughtfulness is bound to warm his heart. What’s more, building a good understanding of his life also helps you support him better through the ups and down.

A good gift idea for your lawyer boyfriend is something he can use in his daily working life. However this could vary significantly depending on the stage of his career.

What a newly-minted lawyer might need is something an experienced lawyer may already have. Similarly, a senior lawyer with his own corner office may well like something for his working space which might not be suitable for a new lawyer. Start off by making a list of the things that he might see use for –at his office desk, in his work or even during his daily commute. He will definitely love it if your gift is something he does not have and which fits into his life as a lawyer.

You love your boyfriend and want to give a gift he will like. But it is important to not strike a wrong note with your gift. Gifts are special and they often mean more - they indicate how you feel about your partner and the relationship. Gifts given in the earlier stages of a relationship are usually much different from what is given when a relationship has been going strong for years.

So make sure to pick a gift that considers the stage of your relationship. Experts say that it is better to keep it simple in the earlier stages. As the relationship passes key milestones you can make a statement of what he means to you and how much you care for him through your gift. But of course, all relationships are different - the golden rule is listening to your heart and doing whatever is right for your relationship.

Choosing a gift that clicks with the lawyer in your life can be tricky. Lawyers are smart and can be tough to please. You will have more success in finding the right gift for your lawyer boyfriend if you keep in mind his personality and preferences.

Is he someone who likes sentimental gestures or does he prefer practical gifts or perhaps he likes gag gifts?
When you know your boyfriend’s personality it gets easier to spot the right gift for him. You can make the process simpler by thinking of the things that make him happy, and using it to find the gift he will love.

Looking presentable and well put together is vital for lawyers. Their look and style influences the perceptions of others and can go a long way in setting their personal brand.

Use your fashion sense to find options that will make him look well-dressed and distinguished. You could choose something related to his attire, or buy him stylish accessories. To make sure you don't go wrong, remember to take into account his personal style. No point in buying him a quirky tie, when he prefers the classy sophisticated look.

Your boyfriend spends a large part of his life working out of his office. Whether a cubicle or a corner office, a lawyer’s desk is likely to be a nerve centre of activity.

Cheer up your lawyer boyfriend’s working space with funny knick-knacks or add character with small decorative items or perhaps help him declutter his desk with simple organisers. These everyday essentials on his desk will remind him of you during busy workdays. But remember, the gift must fit into the formal set up of a lawyer’s office unless your boyfriend has a quirky style.

Light-hearted lawyer-themed gifts or gag gifts are a great way to add a little bit of fun and spread good vibes. He will appreciate your sense of humour and the reminder to not take himself too seriously. Options include coffee mugs and knick-knacks with humorous observations on him or the legal profession.

The final touch to make the gift perfect is choosing a cute gift wrapper. Wrapping your gift adds an extra layer of charm and builds anticipation and excitement. You will be rewarded for all the effort you have taken when you see the joy with which your boyfriend opens his gift.
