How much is an appropriate amount for classroom staff to gift a teacher?

I work in an autistic support class room. I started 4 months ago, at the beginning of the school year. There are a few other staff members in the room and they decided to pitch in for a gift for the teacher. I said I could contribute some money towards it and then they asked if I could give $25 towards a $100 Amazon gift card. I said Id like to give something but couldn’t do $25, and then they told me to “go on my own”. I feel that’s a lot to ask for a newer person and just too much overall for a work gift. AITA?
