What do teachers really want as a gift?
A handwritten thank-you from the child, first and foremost. After that: consumables (good coffee, chocolate), something for their desk or home, or one quality gift funded by a class collection.
Is a lamp a good class gift?
As a class collection, yes: a Night Owls lamp (the owl of wisdom) is a classic. For a reception or nursery teacher, a gentle bunny lamp works well. See owl symbolism and gifts.
