I believe this is a Society rule -- no personal gifts out of SCA funds,
with special high-table gifts (or special royalty room food being
considered a personal gift).
I think it falls under this statement in the local branch exchequer's
handbook:
2. Special occasion gifts to members purchased with SCA money are
disallowed because of disallowed benefit to private individuals.
(CP III) If there is a desire to buy a special occasion gift, take up a
private collection. Gifts are not prizes. Prizes require the recipient to
complete some task in order to receive the prize. Gifts have no such
pre-requisite task.
