What it is
A rocket-shaped motion lamp, 40.5cm tall, on a circular aluminium base. Runs from wall power with no batteries. Price checked on the silver variant.
Why we picked it
A lava lamp is the most efficient shortcut to 1972 that money can buy, and at 40.5cm on an aluminium base this is a full-size one rather than a novelty desk version. It plugs straight into the wall, so it works in a shed or a home office without any ceremony.
