As an ordinary government employee, it is inappropriate to accept any gifts of any kind. It could be seen as a conflict of interest and may lead to disciplinary action being taken against you. You should always decline these offers politely but firmly and make sure that your reject the gift in a way that doesn’t offend the offerer.

Accepting these small favors as a government employee is generally discouraged, as it could result in disciplinary action or an investigation into the origin of the gifts. The most ethical way to accept such favors without attracting attention would be to refer the person offering them to the applicable protocol for authorized gift acceptance by employees. Additionally, it may be wise to inform your immediate superior or department director about any offers of small favors for documents processing so they can assist you with any potential legal or protocol questions.
