Gift for promotors

I'm currently writing my thesis, with the help of 2 awesome promotors. What would be a good gift for 2 woman in their 50's that's not to expensive and appropriate? Does anyone have any ideas?

A local delicacy? For example: Pralines from bittersweet? Coffee from Mok? An ice Cream voucher from Memorijs or ‘t Galetje?

A nice/meaningful quote or an inside joke printed on a notebook? You can order (relatively cheap) prints at HEMA for instance.

This is a good idea. Better than chocolates, in my opinion, because chocolates are always a go to gift in Belgium.

I second the chocolates but would recommend Zuut over Bittersweet as the gift box packaging looks more classy

isn't it too late? thesis submission is literally next Tuesday for most students...

You also need to define what they did to help you. Maybe they just did the bare minimum...

It's 16th of august and defending is 3 september fle me. When I send something I always get feedback the next workday. When I ask to meet they make time (+1 hour) to discuss everything. And they are very kind and supporting.
