Leaving Gift TO school

I'm leaving a school I have worked at for many years and want get some leaving gifts.
Can anyone please make some suggestions for gifts for individual school leaders who have been, and continue to be, amazing, and for the staff as a whole? The last leavers gifted a coffee machine and a sandwich toaster to the staffroom.
My mind is blank in the turmoil of preparing to leave here and starting a new role and I haven't got long to get organised.

How about a job lot of coffee pods for the coffee machine? Free coffee on you for as long as they last?

That's a good idea@TeenPlusCat, maybe a mixture of coffee and hot chocolate pods, plus some special teabags for those who only drink tea. Thank you.

I bought a big tea pot because we all used to like a cup of tea together at lunchtime

Teaspoons. Lots of teaspoons because there never are any when I need one. And if you’re feeling generous, forks as well.

I'm leaving this summer too and am thinking of getting a job lot of teaspoons and glasses for the staffroom since that's what we're always short of!

Thank you @mamaduckboneteaspoons and other cutlery and glasses seem an easier option and no one can moan if they don't get their share of the hot drinks pods - 🙄 the politics of the staff room!

I was about to say teaspoons too. Loads and loads of them!

I know of an apple tree being gifted to the whole school community and books with personal messages inside. I was once gifted a 'Little Miss' (Roger Hargreaves) book which I still have today by my NQT mentor when she left. She had worked at the school for decades.

When I left my last post, I bought loads of biscuits and a biscuit tin. The staffroom never had biscuits so was well received.
