Legal Question in Business Law in California

Corporate Gifts

Have a small placement company. We want to run a promotion to give a $100 dollar shopping spree to new customers. This means that only a certain individual (HR or some other hiring manager) within the company would receive this gift. Is this form of marketing legal? I understand that most companies have specific rules governing the max gift value that employees can receive from external vendors.
