This would be a great replacement for the tried and true lava lamp that went with through five years of college and two out-of-state summer jobs and my first apartment ten years later… unfortunately, the lamp disappeared mysteriously after a bad breakup with a girlfriend….. hmmmmm. I wonder?????
Jennifer says
I would display the 50th anniversary Lava Lamp in my living room. It would be a perfect compliment to the Atomic era furnishings I’ve collected. I have a boomerang table just waiting for it.
Jukebox Jim says

I’m planning a “back to 1966” party for my husband’s 50th birthday next year. This would be an awesome addition to the party decor (and our 1960 house in general)!

This would be great in our basement bedroom!

This lamp would give me a great excuse to pull out some old 70s vinyls and chill!

We would put it in our upstairs kitchen /rec room, which is slowly being converted to retro!
