They're probably referring to minor gifts random people might offer you out of gratitude sometime, say if you do customer service and went out of your way for them. A bottle of normal priced wine, some chocolates perhaps, a gift card for a lunch at xyz. Some giveaway merch they have tons of.
These are all pretty sus and might be things I'd report.
These policy limits are intended to allow things like swag at a convention or if you're in a meeting and they have lunch catered.
I meant more like, either of these not all. Nothing worth more than 5-10 bucks combined
Even then, it'd need to be a token wedding gift or something similarly eventful. A birthday isn't enough. For those things, even within the limits, I'd want pretty justifiable context. At least if you're working for/in US government.
A $15 box of chocolates from my new contractor who just won the bid just isn't worth dealing with as an issue.
