Default Need an idea...
My neighbor is leaving his job of several years today, and opening his own office. I'd like to knock out a little "good luck" gift for him, but alas, I'm suffering from blacksmith's block.

So, what say ye? Any ideas for a small keepsake?

Thanks in advance.

what kind of office? Aside from the usual card holder, I'll have to think about it. You probably want to make something that will be used.

He's an attorney. Useful would be good, but decorative would suit as well.

A pitch fork?? a letter opener, but then again an agery client could use that. Something useful for an attorney. A forged check.

Anchor? Just kidding

I think a cool letter opener and if he is having clients at his office, something like a card holder. Could also make a desk organizer with built in card holder to hold pens and outgoing mail.

Being as it is for an attorney, a very heavy paperweight of some sort.

Always a lot of wind blowin' in lawyers offices.

All good ideas. Thanks.

I was expecting a bunch of attorney jokes and y'all didn't disappoint.

He's a nice guy. Mostly just does family law and sits in on city council meetings. Rest assured, I still get a lot of digs in. Fortunately he's got a good sense of humor.

The legend says that only a used shoe, removed by a blacksmith will work. I don't have a horse here to pull one off of.
