Holiday Season and gift giving

This afternoon one of the booked patients arrived with her husband.  "Here you are," he said handing over a bottle of wine in a nice bag.  "For all you have done for my wife this year we want to say thank you."

Well it would be impolite not accept the gift, but this couple are not well off, and my care of the lady is a professional responsibility which is taken seriously.  Lovely that the care is not taken for granted, but why does the couple feel the need to offer a gift of gratitude?
