Still looking for those last-minute Christmas gifts? The Supreme Court could be the one-stop shop you’re looking for.
Since its opening in 2009 the Supreme Court has been selling souvenirs to members of the public (as well as – presumably – appellants, respondents and their lawyers during breaks from hearings). The pens, pencils, key rings and fridge magnets on offer in the Supreme Court make perfect stocking fillers.
There are also some specifically festive wares on offer: Christmas cards featuring the Supreme Court for 50p each or £2.00 for a pack of 10, as well as Christmas decorations (for a particularly judicial Christmas tree) – baubles bearing the Supreme Court logo are £5 each or £10 for 3.
If you had something a little more special in mind then read on, there really is something for every (lawyerly) person in your life…
There’s the teddy bear called Toffee (£18) for the little lawyers of the future; notebooks (£8.50) for the budding law school student; a mug (£12) which is sure to make everyone in the office jealous; a tie (£29) or cufflinks (£15) for those extra important meetings; canvas shopping bags (£7) to carry piles of documents; and an umbrella (£25) which is always useful for a wintery London day, plus much more.
So head to the Supreme Court, open 9.30am to 4.30pm until Friday, where you’ll find the full range of gifts in the café on the lower ground floor.

I purchased two UK Supreme Court lapel pins when I was visiting the Court last week – one for me, and one that I was going to give as a gift to a Justice on the Colorado Supreme Court who is a friend of mine. I seem to have misplaced them in the course of my trip home. Is there any way I can purchase two more online or by some other means?

Dear Mr Goldstein, I’m afraid we’re an independent Blog and not the Court itself. Try this page on the Court’s website https://www.supremecourt.uk/contact-us.html
