End of year gift help

My DS' last day in the EI program at his school is next week and he will be "moving up" to the preschool program through cpse in September. I'm trying to get ideas on what to get his teachers and therapists. He has been in this program since October but for the holidays I didn't have to worry since another mom organized a group gift from the class, which made it easier. He has 1 main teacher who also did parent training with us 1x a month, 8 assistants in the class, and 3 therapists. Just wanted to get an idea of gifts you've gotten for your DC's teacher and therapists. If you got gift cards would you mind sharing how much you gave? Thanks!

What I found the easiest was to do a group thing for all assistants, like order breakfast or lunch for them one day. The teacher, depending on how much I liked them and what they did for my DD, got anywhere from $25 to $100. The therapists, again, depending on how well they did, got between $15 to $25.

If I contributed to a group gift that the class mom collected for, I didn't do anything extra. If your teacher also does parent training, I might get a small gift for her.

I usually got therapists gift cards for $10-15 with a nice card.

I have twins. They are in 2 separate classrooms with a teacher and 3 assistants. They also have speech and it with different therapists. I got everyone a $10 dunkin donuts giftcard and put it in one of those cold drink tumblers with straws (home goods has nice ones for $2.99). I wrapped the tumbler with cellophane and put a really pretty bow at the top. I wish I could've done more but there were so many I had to get (my kids switched schools so I also got for the bus driver and matron-4 of them since there are different ones that drop off).
