Generally, I would say no to this question. When you give SFI related items for incentive you are promoting your own business and teaching them a model they can follow to both you and them. If you send them unrelated items that you might have available such as a DVD that you have laying around the house, they wouldn't have this opportunity unless they passed on the DVD. Still you are not earning from your activity.
If you are purchasing items outside of SFI to send, you are spending money that doesn't give you any value in SFI. They would then follow your lead and purchase outside of SFI. This doesn't build your business.
There are enough items in SFI that you don't need to go outside. If you have DVD's and other items worth sending to your members, set up an ECA for them, and then you would be sending items that will enhance your SFI business. If you feel an item not availabe in SFI is valuable enough to send your downline, you can set the item up in your ECA, and then purchase from yourself, pay SFI and then you can purchase it elsewhere and send it. That way your will increase your SFI business and provide a means for them to purchase the same item for their downline. They purchase it from your ECA store and you then purchase it elsewhere and have it sent to them or their customer.
