A lava lamp for my grandson would be wonderful. At 6 months you’re never to young to start loving retro
Victoria says
I have an old, sad original lava lamp like this that I cherish, although its lava isn’t terribly active any more. I would be happy for it to have a modern friend to keep it company in our hippy basement.
Dave says
In my bedroom, of course!
Onawa says
Definitely in the living room
Jack says
I’ve only recently rediscovered my love for lava. When I was a kid I had several lamps in my room and now I’ve been working on making my own!
Marcia says
My 1958 Cocoa Beach home could sure use a lava lamp!
kevin says
It will go in my renovated 1969 travel trailer that is converted to serve as my “pop-up” art gallery that is located in Joshua Tree, CA
Stacy Tebbetts says
My teenage daughter who claims she was born in the wrong century would love this lamp in her bedroom.

The lava lamp would have an honored spot in the living room of my midcentury retirement home when I move there next year.
