My apt. mgr just had a baby. Is is ok to get $from neighbors for a giftcard 4 her?

I did this b4 when I had a different apt. mgr, but just wondering.. I'm asking them to sign a card, and donate$1-5 toward a giftcard. Most neighbors have at least seen me (they have to drive by my apt to get to their house, and I'm always outside.) I think it sok. the neighbors might think if they give $ it will put them on the "good" list. whhat is YOUR opinion?? btw..I live in a low income housing complex..thanx :)
