When a colleague is off sick, the gift matters less than the gesture of being remembered. Something small that says the team is thinking of them does more than anything expensive.
Keep it gentle. Avoid anything that implies a quick return to work; the point is comfort, not pressure.

For a sick colleague, 2 to 5 euros per person is normal, with totals around 15 to 35 euros.
All the usual amounts per occasion are in the gift etiquette. Chipping in without the hassle? Start a gift moment or use the Split tool.
Something comforting: a plant, something to read, or a nice treat. Avoid anything that suggests they should hurry back.
Keep it warm and free of pressure. "Thinking of you, take your time" lands better than "we miss you at the office, get well soon".
Yes, and repeatedly is even better. A short message after a few weeks is often valued more than the first bouquet.
