Advantages: Huge. Soothing. Good value. Disadvantages: Takes forever to heat up.
A lava lamp is, in principle, very simple. It consists of a lamp, which heats up a glass bulb filled with a waxy solid and a liquid. These cannot mix together and must have very similar densities. As the solid heats up, its density is lowered, so it rises. This cools it down and it then falls to the bottom of the lamp, creating a strangely soothing effect. In practice, making one yourself would involve messing about with expensive and perhaps flammable chemicals, so I wouldn't bother trying. It is much easier just to buy one yourself.
The Giant Grande Lava Lamp comes in two colours yellow and blue or yellow and violet. It is truly enormous at 27" and is guaranteed to be a focal point in your room. It is not called "giant" and "grande" for nothing!

Advantages: Brilliant dominating point of decoration in any room Disadvantages: Takes a while to heat up
One of my favourite purchases of all time, I think. I've always liked lava lamps but never seen one of such size (within affordability anyway).
Being of such a size, they do require a high voltage light bulb which uses a large amount of electricity. Also, the lamps do take more than two hours to heat up and flow properly. But I think they're well worth the wait.
They only come in two colour options: purple/red and blue/green. They could do with having more colours but I have the red and purple one in my room and it is a brilliant talking point to any visitors that come around.
I paid £40 I think and that is a great bargain, specially compared to the Mathmos 'Astro' I think it's called. ...
