Can student nurses/ nurses give a gift to a patient?

Asking on here as everywhere I have looked only mentions receiving a gift from a patient, not the other way around. In my current placement there is a lady who had been there for a while, today she told me she really liked my hair clips, they are just gold stars and i can get 50 of them for about £2.50. I was thinking of giving her a few but I am not sure if this would cross any boundaries or NMC code or anything like that. Just looking for some advice, thank you!
