Lava Lamp Beach Umbrella

For the teen whose bedroom is already a shrine to summer, or who simply refuses to accept that it is, in fact, November. The pastel striped base and cap are genuinely charming, and neon pink wax bubbling through bright yellow liquid is about as cheerful as a lava lamp gets. It also has instant start-up action, which means no waiting for it to warm up before the good stuff begins, a detail that sounds minor until you have witnessed a child standing impatiently next to a cold lava lamp for twenty minutes.

We love it because:

• Neon pink and bright yellow is a combination that makes people smile the moment they clock it, no exceptions.
• The pastel striped hand-spun base is a lovely design touch that makes it feel like a proper decorative piece, not just a plug-in novelty.
• The instant start-up means the tropical atmosphere arrives immediately, no warm-up vigil required.
• It genuinely helps with focus, calm and unwinding, which is useful information if you are buying this for a teenager who needs to be talked into the idea that their bedroom lamp could also be good for them.
• At 14.5 inches it earns its place on a shelf or desk rather than disappearing into the background.
