Loading ...Although I got an early start on my holiday shopping this year, I know not everyone did. If you’re still in the market for holiday gifts and greeting cards for your friends, colleagues and clients, The Billable Hour Company can help you make short work of your gift list.
I’ve raved about The Billable Hour Company before here and here and here. Well, since I last wrote about them earlier this year, they’ve continued to add items to their product line. Although primarily geared to lawyers and legal professionals, they also feature some great items any professional will get a kick out of.
Their Original Pocket Briefcase and Soft Sided Leather Pocket Briefcase make perfect stocking-stuffers for all kinds of professionals.
They also have a growing Games and Books Department, and, in their continuing quest to help professionals achieve work/life balance, they’ve added Helios Pens—which appear to float in the air as they balance over their gracefully curved bases—to their TBH Office department.
Over at the Billable Hour Card Store, they’ve added over 100 new humorous legal greeting cards, bringing their selection of humorous legal cards to over 200. You can’t find these cards anywhere else on the Web: they’re exclusive to the Billable Hour Card Store.
Stu’s Views (their largest collection) is by Stu Rees, a cartoonist who—when he’s not drawing—represents other cartoonists in their legal matters.
The Lawtoons line is from Suzan Charlton, a professional cartoonist who is rumored to practice insurance coverage law as a hobby for a major Washington D.C. law firm. Her cartoons cover a wide range of law-related topics, from law school grades to law firm romance.
The Cartoons by Dan line is by Dan Rosandich (who, while not a lawyer, has a pretty good grasp of many legal concepts).
All of their cards can be used as holiday cards, since the inside message is completely customizable. They also carry a wide selection of more "traditional" holiday cards featuring nonlegal themes (such as snowflakes, ornaments, Christmas trees and menorahs).
If you work for a lot of lawyers, check out their music department, which carries the world’s most comprehensive line of humorous CDs by and for lawyers. In addition to the CDs by the Bar & Grill Singers, and Bob Noone & the Well Hung Jury, that I wrote about in January, they’ve added The Billable Hour Blues by Dan Klau, and Soulless, Bloodsucking Lawyers: A Brief Musical (the soundtrack to an original play by the same name written by Minnesota lawyer, speaker, comedian and playwright Toni Halleen), as well as the full line of CDs by legal music veteran Lawrence Savell, including his brand new album, The Lawtunes: Live at Blackacre.
Lawyers will also get a kick out of the company’s Survival Kits for Judges, Partners, Associates, Law Students, Paralegals, and one especially for anyone preparing for—or awaiting the results of—the Bar Exam. Each kit contains one of their signature timepieces, plus a selection of items from their Music, Games and TBH Office departments. The items are artfully arranged in a first aid-themed gift box (the Partner Survival Kit even comes in a photorealistic golf cart gift bag) and topped by a huge 4" red bow.
