A rocket-shaped lava lamp, because apparently normal lava lamps were not dramatic enough already.
This is what happens when someone looks at a regular lava lamp and decides it needs more theatre. The result is a glowing little rocket of nonsense, which is exactly why it works.
It is retro, a bit tacky, highly giftable and impossible to explain in purely rational terms. Which, for this site, is basically a ringing endorsement.
Because it is silly in a way that makes people grin instead of roll their eyes.
