Christmas gifts for nursery staff

This is my DS's first Christmas at nursery. Are Christmas gifts a thing for nursery staff? If so, any suggestions on what to give? There are 4 members of staff in his room so mindful of cost but would be nice to get them something as they're all great.

Mini bottle of fizz with a big bar of Dairy Milk was my ‘go to’ gift for teachers etc when my dc were little.

When my dc were small and there were lots in the room I would give a voucher for a local deli that they could get lunch delivered from one day.

I do a box of biscuits/chocolates, a card for the room and a Costa voucher for his key worker.

L'occitane have a 4 pack of Christmas crackers with a shower gel and hand cream in each, it's £22.50, I've bought that to split between the 4 teachers I've to buy for and will add a little box of chocs.

We always took in a nice box of chocolates or biscuits or something the week before Christmas so they could enjoy them in breaks in the run up to breaking up for Christmas.

The majority of our parents give a box of biscuits/chocolates to share. More personalised gifts tend
to be something home made or candles, teas, single bottle
alcohol. Nothing is expected and everything is appreciated :)
