The Year's End
This seasonNovember and December
For the partners, the staff, and the clients who stayed. Something used every working day of the coming year, rather than something eaten by the second week of January.
For Firms
Gifts a firm gives.
Five moments in a firm's year, and the pieces we would send for each.
The Vote
Partner election, January and July
One piece per new partner — and the same piece the year after, until the associates know what it means to be handed one. The lighter is for a partner who already uses one.
The Oath
Admission and swearing-in
The one day the profession says you are one of us now. A pen and a portfolio, one per admit — the set they carry into a first deposition.
The Signing
A closing, any day of the year
One pen per signatory, and it goes home with whoever signs with it. That is the whole point.
The Emeritus
Retirement, after a long career
An order of one, and the order we most want. Forty years of practice, and a single chance to say the work counted. For one who is fond of cigars, the humidor or the lighter.
Buying for a group
Orders for the firm, quoted privately.
Tell us the occasion
Tell us the occasion, the number of people and the date you need them in hand. We send a written quotation within three business days. If you need them sooner than three weeks, call (239) 233-5087 — a date that tight is worth a conversation rather than a form.
If your firm caps gifts
Many firms and public bodies cap gifts at $50 or $100 a recipient, and that cap decides the order more than taste does. A Sheaffer 300 or 100 — a fountain pen, rollerball or ballpoint from a house founded in 1913, boxed by the maker — sits comfortably inside either figure. Tell us the number and we will send a selection that clears it.
If there is a budget, or a capPaid simply
Through our checkout or by invoice, as the quotation states. Several delivery addresses are handled as several orders, and we do that work for you.
The one exception
Planners with every name on them.
As a general rule, we do not offer personalization. The single exception is our 2027 leather planners. The maker, Gallery Leather in Maine, foil-stamps each one in gold — anything from initials alone to the firm's name and the recipient's own — and ships it from the bindery.
On a large order of our other pieces, personalization may be possible in a particular case. If it is something the firm must have, give us the opportunity to find out. Just ask.

Closing argument
Consider us retained.
Buying for one person rather than a class? The gift pages are written for exactly that, and for the person who has no idea what a padfolio is for.
- A gift a firm gives is an argument the firm makes about itself.
- The mark worth having is the one another lawyer recognizes, and no one else does.
- Nothing offered that we wouldn't carry ourselves.
