I can't remember what my room looks like without my lava lamp! It gives any room a much needed hit of bright fluorescent colour, with attractive contemporary styling and swirling, interesting patterns from the 'lava' making it a truely mesmorising little ornament. I opted for a Mathmos lava lamp, which I think personally is the only way to go. It is styled like a rocket, complete with three legged stand, acting as stabilising wings. A lava lamp really will brighten up any room and is available in a whole host of bright, eye-catching colours. I have owned mine for around 6 years now, and It is still going strong and have at no point needed to replaced the glass ...  Read the complete review

••TURN OUT THE LIGHTS•• Now that is much better - At this moment in time, the tone and setting is perfectly poised for me to switch on my lava lamps. A dim to dark room is the ideal background to show off these elegant motion lamps in action - only then can you really appreciate them in full bloom. Made out of wax and high quality oils the lava lamp when switched on will illuminate a glass container and then gradually discharge brightly coloured wax droplets causing them to rise & fall. I have a craze and passion for devices or gadgets that not only look good but also glow and light up in a dark room. The lava lamp is one such device that fit’s the ...  Read the complete review

~ Lava Lamps ~ Over the years I have had a good few different lava lamps, the latest is a set of three that sit on a base. There are three pin style bottles (like the pins in bowling), one is coloured in pink, the other blue and the last being yellow. There is the same colour wax in the bottles as the liquid and they sit on a round silver light up base. There is a long lead leading from the base that plugs into the wall socket, on this lead is the on/off switch to operate the lamp. I was bought this for Christmas about three years ago by my step mother and I am not entirely sure why she thought it was a good gift idea, it doesn't go with any of my ...  Read the complete review

I remember having a lava lamp as a teenager (many years ago now) when I was living with my parents and I would make a guess that most people have owned one at some point in their lives. A month or two before Christmas, a new shop opened up in a local town centre called the Gadget Shop and lined up on the top shelf near the door was a variety of different lava lamps. I decided that I really fancied having one again and asked for one for Christmas. What is a lava lamp?

I was given a mathmos lava lamp for christmas by my other half, it was the perfect gift as I have always loved lava lamps although the ones I usually chose were on the cheap side and the bulbs tended to blow if you so much as breath on them. With mathmos you dont get these problems, they are fairly durable and hard wearing so will last as long as you want them to. I was given two different colour bottles with mine which is brilliant as depending on what mood you are in you can change the colour of the lamp accordingly, I think the colours that you can get are very adaptable to differnent peoples moods, for instance if you are feeling a bit down in the dumps ...  Read the complete review
