I try and keep them as separate as possible. Do I give discounts and free stuff to my friends? Yes. Do I do that for my customers? Occasionally.
If someone does a favor for me, I personally mark it up in my queue the same as a commission, unless it is EXPRESSLY a gift, then it goes under my "hey do something nice for so and so at some point" list, that I call up if I need a commission example or something of the like.
I don't budge on my TOS for anyone though, not even close friends. If they respect me, they'll respect my work ethic too.
