There will be exceptions to the extent that firms give these to board members or other senior executives who can provide feedback, but a client is unlikely to complain if a gift doesn't perform.

In any event it's an interesting variant on credit card or concierge service linked benefit programs.
Agreed 100%. But unless you're in UK, or frequently do business across the pond, I see little to no benefit with this...
