Got an aspiring lawyer in your life (yes, you count)? As the holidays roll around, shopping gets tricky when their life revolves around taking LSAT practice tests, drinking unsafe amounts of caffeine, and repeat. Before you default to another coffee mug, let Blueprint help you level up your gifting game with pre-law gift ideas they’ll actually use—and love.
Gift Ideas for Pre-Laws and Future Lawyers
1. Pay Their LSAT Registration Fee
We’re starting off strong with the updated version of “cash in a Christmas card.” The LSAT registration fee is $248, which translates to about a month’s worth of large coffees, dozens of study snacks, or a new laptop battery! Plus, nothing says, “I believe in you” like paying the registration fee for the most defining test of their (pre-law) life.
2. A Blueprint LSAT Course
After paying the registration fee, pre-law students need a way to prepare for the LSAT. Set that future lawyer on track toward their goal score with a Blueprint LSAT prep course! From our Live Course and 170+ Course options to a flexible Self-Paced Course, we have something for every learning style. Or, if you want to give a truly personalized experience, consider gifting them a tutoring package with one of our highly qualified experts!
Think of it this way: A competitive LSAT score can lead to admission offers from top law schools and hefty law school scholarships. That sets the stage for stronger career outcomes, including more competitive starting salaries after graduation. So, Blueprint LSAT courses are the pre-law gifts that keep on giving.
3. Dimmable Desk Lamp
When the lights go down, the books come out. Many students don’t have time to study during the day because of classes or work. So, a dimmable desk lamp is great for these night owls. This one comes with four different settings, including “Study” and “Relax,” to vary the amount of blue light emission.
4. “Plato and a Platypus Walk into a Bar”
Looking for a White Elephant gift that still matches the future-lawyer vibe? This book will guide LSAT students through the intricacies of philosophy without putting them to sleep. Can you buy this book and skip a Philosophy 101 course? No. Will you crush the Logical Reasoning Section after reading the book? Also no. Will you have a chuckle at the expense of Sherlock Holmes and Plato? Probably.
5. Brain Teaser Puzzles
For a study break that still keeps your brain engaged (and distracts you from doomscrolling), these wooden puzzles are perfect! Even if the recipient never figures it out, these pre-law gifts will still look great on their desk.
6. A De-Stress Kit
If there’s one thing all LSAT students (and law students, for that matter) have in common, it’s the heavy amount of pressure they’re under. What better way to show you support them than by putting together a personalized de-stress kit? Include things like bath bombs, a candle, a book (a fun one, not something on Torts or Constitutional Law), an eye mask, essential oils, or whatever you think your student will find relaxing. Sometimes, the most appreciated gift is a study break.
7. Standing Desk Converter
Sitting for long periods isn’t great or healthy, but standing desks often take up a lot of space and can be pretty pricey. Solution: a standing desk converter. It turns any regular desk into an adjustable standing workspace that they can store when not in use, saving space and their lower back.
8. A Drink Tumbler
Whether it’s coffee, tea, plain water, or whatever their drink of choice is, tumblers are essential for anyone moving or studying on the go. Perfect for those early morning classes or late-night study sessions, a portable tumbler keeps beverages hot or cold for hours. You can go the basic route with Stanley, but any stainless steel option will do. Just remind your gift recipient to wash it regularly.
9. Food Delivery
Prepping for the LSAT can feel like a part-time job. Factor in college classes, real jobs, and other responsibilities, and pre-law students have very little time to cook three square meals a day. Make an LSAT student’s life a little easier by gifting them the joy of convenient food through an UberEats gift card or a meal prep delivery service.
10. Noise-Canceling Headphones
Noise-canceling headphones can range from surprisingly affordable to “this better raise my LSAT score.” But at the end of the day, anything that helps your future lawyer shut out the world, lock in, and actually focus makes for a really thoughtful and practical pre-law gift idea.
Honorable Mention: A Soundproof Booth
Appropriately called a “Zenbooth,” this soundproof sanctuary gives an LSAT student the privacy to scream, cry, and cheer to their heart’s delight without distracting (or alarming) everyone around them. Maybe you can go in on this pre-law gift with other people as a group gift everyone can use.
Whether you’re checking off your own wish list or helping a future law student, investing in LSAT prep now will set you up for success in the new year. Blueprint LSAT students increase their LSAT scores by 15 points on average. Whether you want the flexibility of a Self-Paced Course, prefer to navigate the LSAT with instructors in a Live Course or 170+ Course, or even private LSAT tutoring, we have the study method that fits your learning style.
With personalized LSAT prep that’s as unique as your goals, we’ll help you kick off 2026 feeling confident and ready to tackle the test. Schedule a free consultation and let’s make sure you’re on track for law school success in 2026!
