Whoa I didn't know this was a thing. Do firms do this after an offer? Because if so, I'm going to rule out firm X above that did not send me anything :evil:

I don't think every firm does it, but even those that do usually take 2+ weeks to send. Haven't accepted any yet so don't know if acceptance gifts are a thing.

I heard somewhere that law firms compete to see who has the best cookies. I mentioned this during an EIP interview and all I got were blank stares. But then I see this and I think there's got to be a hint of truth here...
