We have a very rigorous ethics standard at my work. I absolutely cannot receive anything of value from a suppllier.

My wife gives gifts to teachers that sometimes have a nominal value in the $25 range (new mothers) and usually at least $10/teacher per year. I would prefer that she only give these gifts once my child has completed the course, but she will not listen to me.
