AIBU to buy sports coach a Christmas present (I mean I know it’s not unreasonable as such, but what’s the etiquette?)

DS has a private coach for his sport (standard for this sport). She’s really brought DS on tremendously this year, been a great support to him and we both think she’s great. DS trains a lot so we see her regularly and I’m also friends with her to the extent that we text / have coffee / chat about non sport related stuff. I want to show my appreciation for her at Christmas. When other parents have given her gifts over the last few days she’s looked a bit uncomfortable though and I don’t want to get it wrong. I was going to get restaurant vouchers which is the only thing I’m sure she’d like, and have bought £30 worth (because less than this wouldn’t cover a meal). Is this excessive though? I don’t want it to cause awkwardness. I don’t have time to get anything else as I’m at work she’s going away for Christmas shortly. For context, it isn’t voluntary coaching or community work etc, we pay quite expensive coaching fees throughout the year. Thanks!
