Don't pinch pennies.

One place I had, the carpet was a dark chocolate, I took it out and replaced it with a light colour and it changed the entire appearance of the room. 

We've had people send us chocolate-covered cherries, popcorn, cookies, and more, and while we love that gesture, most of us are on a diet and it ultimately goes to waste, ha!

In the past I have given gift baskets from Costco, the ones that are a wrapped collection of coffee, chocolate, cookies or similar.

These are smallish lines(under 100k) but they still help if I am in a pinch and they definitely helped earlier on in my career before I started building high end specs. 

Still a good idea to at least contribute up to the max employees match, otherwise you're turning down free money.If you open a Roth IRA you can take any money you contributed out, penalty free if you need it in a pinch.

It may be a “chocolate or vanilla” kind of choice.

I think it is a cool thing, but who wants the liability of providing ammunition in case something happens.Jerky, chocolate, maybe a nice ham, that sort of thing.

Plus your guest may have a mini disaster, digestion issues, etc where extra trash bags or TP are required in a pinch.

This is no different than a baker using $1 of ingredients to make and sell a $4 chocolate chip cookie.You can only flip so many houses, so the ability to scale is based on your time and energy.
