Nildo says
This lava lamp would be perfect in my groovy 1960’s home office.
Skye says
I got my first lava lamp in middle school and I’ve had a few over the years. I am currently lava-less and would love this baby! This one is the coolest color scheme I’ve seen.
Karla says
will use that in the living room
Richard Dietzel says
I once had four Lava Lamps and one knock off but when I moved from Oregon to Arizona I sold or gave away all of them. A new lamp would go on the side table in the LR as a kind of TV light.
Mary Fryar says
In our newly rehabbed 1956 house there is a bedroom crying out for a lava lamp.
John S says
I would love to use the lava lamp on my retro basement bar!
Karen Smith says
I will place it on my 1960’s console record player where I can enjoy whenever I want
Terri says
The first lava lamp I saw was in my doctor’s office. Mom would take us four kids to the doc to all at once with the idea that if one of us was sick, we’d all be eventually. The doctor’s office was kind of creepy – made more so by the lava lamp. I never had one but when my youngest was in high school she loved them.
Mary says
If I win the Lava Lamp, I will bring it to my workplace at the public library and put it on my desk there to dazzle my coworkers!
E.M. Williford says
Being LSU fans from New Orleans, we’d put this purple and gold beauty in our vintage RV to drive around and delight fellow Lava Lamp fans near and far!
