Should I insist DD gives teacher No 5 a gift?

DD(7) has made some small decorations, intended for family but she said she wanted to give her teacher one.
She has two class teachers (M-Th am; Fr). Main teacher is off sick and has been replaced by two supply teachers. She wanted to give presents to main teacher, the M/W supply and the Fri teacher. These are all women. She has used up all her extra decorations and has nothing to give the male T/Th supply teacher and said he doesn't need anything.

Should I insist she gives him something? Even if it's just a card? She's not complained about him once in the past 8 weeks so I can't see any reason for it. From my point of view, it would be rude not to especially as he saw her give something to main teacher at the Christmas concert.

Is she giving the second standard class teacher a present?
Are both the teachers off or is the second (non-supply) only teaching Thursday pm?

If she only has these supply teachers for the last week of term then I don't think I would make her give the supply teachers anything or if she does want to then just the ones she wants to but if she will have them after the holidays then I think she should give a token present to him.

Yes she is giving something to the permanent Friday teacher. Though not the permanent Th pm teacher.
She's had the 2 supply teachers for 8 weeks, main teacher will be back in January.
