1) skadden jacket
2) debevoise ipod shuffle
3) gibson cookies/brownies

I know there are at least 5 more from the big firms but I forgot

My acceptance gift was a "thank you for accepting" letter and phone call from managing partner of office. All I need. I have enough firm swag to last me awhile. No need for more
