I would simply refuse all gifts rather than give them to the owner.

Why does HE get to make a unilateral decision on a subject of legal ownership. When did he get elected to the Legislature?

Isn't that a bribe?

Have vendor take you out to lunch.
-
Walk into bosses office and regurgitate the lunch onto their desk.
-
Profit?
Make sure the vendor buys you a nice boozy drink. Some top shelf whiskey or something. Bosses love top shelf whiskey.
And make sure you get something that looks absolutely repulsive after you vomit it back up. I'd recommend a Greek Salad, extra feta.

One place i worked at collected all gifts and had a lottery at Christmas, where employees could win them. I feel that's a fair way to deal with this.

Been with several companies that have the first part in their policy. It makes sense to avoid, or at best minimize an external influencing factor in company activities. Basically they don't want to mess with lawsuits. That's what company policy is for, protect the company.
The rest is owner greed. He doesn't want the gifts to stop, he wants them all without doing anything to get them. Either enforce a 'no gifts, period' policy or let people do what they will.

Oh that's neat! I bet it could get out of hand though at a particularly high dollar company

Pretty sure I just got
anti-briberyethics and compliance training that said no one in my company is allowed to accept such gifts lol -

Nope, just one catapult firing sex workers into a hotel room and one of the calculations was off and she went splat.

For good measure, you should skip breakfast and make sure you have a big lunch.
No reason to give your boss any of your breakfast tho. That's on your time.

When I worked for a major database company they made me take annual training to explain that I wasn’t allowed to buy sex workers for potential clients.
My handbook at work specifically bans buying illicit drugs for customers with the company card.
It doesn't say anything about buying it with my card and getting reimbursed though...

lol
Usually these things will just say you can't accept such items because it could be considered a bribe or at the very least unprofessional. And here we have an asshole straight up saying "give your bribes to me!"
I'm just thinking of all the times customers offered me food and drink while servicing them as an internet service installer. You gonna take all my Dr. Pepper and tacos, too, boss? How 'bout I leave 'em in a pile on your desk after I'm done?

"Oh, thanks! What I'd like is some extremely hot sauce in a bottle labelled 'ketchup'".

Take a picture of the shit and add it to the expense report. Make sure you notate that you did not keep the gift and instead rescinded ownership to your boss.
