As an ordinary government employee, someone has offered me some small gifts to speed up his document processing. Is it advisable to accept these small favors without attracting attention?

It is generally advisable to avoid accepting gifts from persons of any kind, as it may make you vulnerable to accusations of favoritism or wrongdoing if the gifts are ever questioned. In this case, it would be best to refuse the gift and explain why — for example, saying that acceptance of the gift might create a conflict of interest.
