Do you give gifts after someone give you lifts?

I got stuck looking after a new colleague who is new in town and has no car. Gave her lift several times so she could get basics for her flat etc. I even paid for one meal after feeling a bit bad seeing how stressful the whole move was for her. Initially it was put upon me by wrk to give some support as she moved close quite to me, but then work said I shouldn't have to, now the move has completed. She knows this and aware I am doing this out of wanting to help, and not part of work. She thanked me a lot but that was it. I mean,I would probably offer buy next sandwich, a cup of coffee, a glass of wine, a pack of chocolate digestives, or whatever to repay, if that was me, but she never offered. This makes me think that I shouldn't over help her, but am I in the wrong here? I did offer to help and not expecting anything back, but a gesture would be nice - especially when she gets paid so much more šŸ˜‚ Am I overthinking?
