Ah. Makes sense now. My dad was a purchasing agent for the company he worked for and also go small things. They didn't have a name other than "gifts". The usual was a fifth of scotch or brandy during the holidays. My dad wasn't a drinker so at one point we have over a dozen bottles of good hootch just sitting there. He finally got around to giving it all away.She was a purchasing agent, and a spif(f) is something distributors and reps give away to purchasing agents that create that warm fuzzy feeling.
