Advantages: Looks good

Disadvantages: expensive and takes a while to heat up

Lava lamps may have bounced back into fashion from the 70's, it's just a shame the prices aren't the same as they were back then. Who in their right mind would pay £30 + for one?

Lots of people obviously as they seem to sell very well. I must admit I was mad enough to buy one - but only because it was in an 'end of range' sale at my local Argos store!

I managed to pick it up for £5. It is used a lot by my husband but I don't tend to bother much with it as it takes a good hour to heat up properly before anything worth watching happens.

They are good once they get going but I personally would not pay more than I did for one.

ps. If you do buy one you shouldn't leave it on for more than 8 hours at a time as it can overheat. It does get hot so don't leave it where children can reach it, as it will certainly catch their attention!
