Lava Lamp Northern Lights Purple/Blue

There is something about a lava lamp that bypasses all the cool-kid defences and lands straight in the "actually that's amazing" category, and this one, with its silver glitter swirling through a tri-coloured globe in purple and blue, is particularly hard to resist. At 14.5 inches tall with a hand-spun metal base inspired by the real aurora borealis, it will absolutely become the centrepiece of someone's bedroom, and the fact that lava lamps have been doing this for 60 years and still feel magical says everything.

We love it because:

• The purple and blue glitter swirl is genuinely stunning, not just "nice for a lava lamp".
• The hand-spun metal base with its wave and flow patterns makes it feel like a proper decorative object, not just a novelty.
• It's calming in the best possible way, the kind of thing you find yourself staring at for longer than you intended.
• At 14.5 inches, it makes a real statement on a shelf or desk.
• It comes with the bulb included, so no awkward hunting for the right wattage before anyone can enjoy it.

• 1 x Northern Lights Lava Lamp, purple/blue
