Leaving gift for staff team

So, I'm off to a new post in January and I want to thank my amazing team appropriately.
I really don't know what to do, whether to get a joint gift- was thinking tassimo type machine for our fairly non existent staff room, with lots of pods- or individual small gifts- like scented candle, wine or something. There are about 25 staff. My budget is about £75.
What would make you feel appreciated by your departing leader?

I think a joint gift is a lovely idea, but with individual notes to them possibly?

Definitely coffee machine or cheese toastie maker or waffle makes with packet of mix? Or plug in massage cushion?

Not a waffle maker. They are a bastard to clean!

I bought a big teapot when I left my last job - we all used to row about whose turn it was to make the tea so it seemed apt Wink

Toaster? I love the coffee machine idea though.

I've done a bit of research- Tassimo pod machine reduced to £45 then I will get a bundle of mixed hot drinks for £30. Should keep them going for a while!
I'm going to handmake some thank you cards and write a personal note inside for each person, as Littlefish suggested. Today is the perfect day, as it's tipping down with rain!
