body: I recently asked if I could [expense Starbucks trips that I make to buy myself a coffee](https://law.stackexchange.com/questions/4599/can-i-expense-a-trip-to-a-coffee-shop-small-business-owner). This has become frequent due to the long hours I'm putting in.
  
  
  Since I cannot expense coffee trips that I take by myself, can I have my business buy *me* a Starbucks gift card as a reward for the long hours I'm putting in, and have it expensed? Can I also do this for future employees?
