Buy presents for all TAs?

If you buy presents for the teachers and TAs in your children's class, do you also buy a present for any TAs in the room that are 1:1 with a child with SEN? I always have done in the past as I assumed even though they do 1:1 they probably still help the classroom? (Just to clarify my children don't have the 1:1 TA).

Only reason I ask, I have always bought for all of them as mainly I hate the thought of looking "selective" but the school office came back quite clearly stating the 1:1 TA this time which they don't usually when I was confirming names and numbers.

And yes I know, not everyone does presents.

My child always had one to one TA, and I would buy teacher a card or gift and their personal TA.

Sorry I should probably clarify, does it look silly for us to buy a present for a child's 1:1 TA when my children don't have one? I don't want it to look like I'm excluding them but don't want to look silly either!

I dont think you need to buy a gift for another childs TA.
I only ever bought for people that worked very closely with my child
