how often? ad hoc
occasions? sending new business, milestone (retirement, anniversary, child's graduation, etc.), sometimes birthday, if in hospital

Solution: Mormon.
If you're a big enough producer the sky is the limit unless it is excessive luxury and i'm sure this would set compliance off (at least at my firm : Big Wirehouse)
