Certain gifts can be accepted, viz., birthday gift offered by colleagues & staff.
Certain gifts cannot be accepted, wherein, it tantamount to bribe, expecting UN-due favor, service-providers to company, etc, either in cash or kind

No - and I recommend to never accept them unless they are gifts you can share with your colleagues such as chocolate or fruit baskets.
IF you are to receive a fancy Mont Blanc pen or other items that can seem suspicious to a bribe or give some remote impression of preferential treatment, then definitely no.
Just refuse it politely and state the reason.
If the person insists on getting you a gift recommend a gift your office can benefit from instead, and not you only.
