CMs - what would you like for Christmas

What can I get my wonderful CMs for Xmas? They are a husband and wife team and have five teenage children of their own. I can't afford to spend much but would like to get them something nice and I imagine CMs get given loads of chocolates at Xmas so don't want to do that.
Thanks

What about a cinema voucher and a box of popcorn to wrap it up with?

I was going to say batteries but I suppose that wouldn't go down well unless they asked for them (I always need batteries!!!)

I do like HappyMummyofOne's idea though My first year one family got me a lovely bunch of flowers and a vase with fake flower which was lovely

something they like/are into in spare time?, or like HMOO said, something along those lines plus the offer to babysit theirs if needed would be nice

Thanks for all the ideas (might pass on babysitting 5 kids though!!)

I have been given vouchers for pamper days, or to the local Chinese buffet place, and to the cinema, much better than chocs or wine, (I am permanently on a diet)

I have a dream that they will all put £2 in & get me a voucher from Monsoon........but I do get the obligatory box of chocs/biscuits
