A giant lava lamp of 52 oz. or better may be the best gift you can give the teenage girls on your list that is under $50. They are funky, fun and make a very impressive presentation. The variety of colors alone are enough to get a decorator's motor running in high gear.
Given the trend towards neon colors and retro colors in teen bedrooms it's no wonder they are flying off the shelves. Of course, the cheap price tag on such a cool gift doesn't hurt. There’s nothing quite as hypnotizing as lying in bed in the dark, talking on the phone while watching those viscous blobs of sticky, slimy goop floating about in hot oil. Add some mood lighting to the display and your teens and tweens might start doing some wild stuff like blocking out the natural light from their rooms with aluminum foil on the glass of their bedroom windows! Even in the light of day wild colored giant green lava lamps and funky lime green bedding sets are a match made in Heaven.
Once upon a time, the only style of lava lamps that you could buy was the funky metal kind that looked like some sort of demented space capsule. After all of their winning attributes and charms were realized, some bright person got the brilliant idea that they could be manufactured in the funky colors and themes as lava lamps that would fit into various retro styles of decor as well as being used to decorate contemporary themes in college dorm rooms and teenagers bedrooms across the planet.
Lava lamps even have a little something for fans of vintage movies and rockabilly. You can locate lamps that pay homage to the Kings and Queens of music and movies of decades past.
Elvis Presley and Marilyn Monroe who sadly left this world before lava lamps came into their own as far as trendy, decorative lighting is concerned are both memorialized with lava lamps in their honor. Dead rock stars have lava lamps dedicated to them as well. Guitar gods like Jimi Hendrix have their own lava lamp. Even the Coca Cola polar bear has an icy, artic blue lamp with his stamp on it. Are you into super heroes like Superman? Well, jump on board Lois and Jimmy because there's a lamp that's faster than a speeding rocket for you! And Red and white polka dot bedding will go very nicely with a Betty Boop theme lava lamp.
They are on sweatshirts, coasters, shower curtains and even on BBQ aprons, but pictures are for nerds. Get the real deal. How much fun is a graphic on an article of clothing. If a decorative accessory is worthy of printing on fabric, you want it in the boudoir.
The message is that you can never be too old or too young to enjoy the pleasures of zoning out bathed in the relaxing glow of a hot bubbling lava lamp. The meditative effect of lava lamps can’t be ignored and who couldn’t use a break from the tornado of activity that our stress filled lives have become?
If you are afraid your friends and family might think that you’ve reverted to your stoner days, you can always enjoy one of the free lava lamp wallpapers or screensavers for your computer. Turn off the lights, lean back in the ergonomically correct office chair and enjoy the show. Or you could always buy one for your teenager and let her keep it in her bedroom. Wait until she heads out to the mall or to a party and sneak in for a peek so that nobody will rat you out.
