One persuasive undergraduate was able to separate two Land Rovers some years ago from the firm that makes the rugged, cross-country cars, but lesser gifts are more common. Toilet paper, for some reason, is showered on expeditions, and not long ago a Cambridge expedition received several cases of highly negotiable whisky...
