Can I write this off my taxes as a "business gift"?

One of my Avon customers brought in a fundraising brochure for her granddaughter's school. I bought about $25 worth of stuff because the lady is a good customer of mine. I know it's a long shot, but would the IRS let me write it off as a business expense since I'm only buying the stuff to keep up good relations with my customer?
 
No, there are two classifications under business expenses and they are "ordinary and necessary". Check out "Business Expenses and what is allowed". From the IRS.
