Sadly, I have seen this myself. Expensive "gifts" for doing odd jobs for charities (that far exceed the value of the task), first-class travel plans and ludicrously expensive hotels...it's sad, really. Of course this was a while ago. I don't know if the tax laws have changed to make these sorts of things more difficult to do.
