Did it make you feel like the firm really values you as a human being?

Yes, I think they really care about me personally.

No, I know better than to let ~$50 of stuff buy an ounce of loyalty from me.

Freshfields sent out umbrellas earlier in the month. Similar to the K&E umbrellas but slightly nicer. I'm beginning to think that their gift strategy is "Send the same gifts as Kirkland but nicer."

I have free stuff from events with firms where I wasn't offered or anything. Is it still poor form to use that stuff, even though maybe half the class has it?

Shearman's is the same as last year I think. We received a portable battery charger about a month back and we just recently got duffel bags. :)
