***Disclosure: I received complimentary samples to facilitate my review. All opinions are 100% honest and have not been influenced in any way.***

It's that time of year, everyone! The Holiday shopping season is upon us! (At least it is if you're like me and get an early start to avoid the mad rush of frazzled, last-minute shoppers in December!) 

For the 2016 Holiday season, I will be featuring tons of great gift ideas for babies, kids, men, women, pets, and even for the person who has everything. We all have some of those on our gift lists, don't we? There will even be loads and loads of chances to win many of the gifts I am featuring. How cool is that?! You can check out my 2016 Holiday Gift Guide at any time from now till Christmas. Make sure to check often, as it will be growing by the day!

Our Thoughts :

We received an awesome assortment of Lava Lamps to check out for ourselves.

Sophie chose the 14.5″ Glitter chalkboard Lava® lamp. This lamp is awesome, and extra fun because you can actually use chalk to decorate the base! How cool is that?! 

Here are the stats: 

• Silver glitter/ pink liquid / chalkboard finish on base & cap
• Provides relaxing, soft light
• Aluminum base
• 25 watt light bulb included
• 1 piece of white chalk included
• Erase chalk with a dry cloth
• Plugs into a power outlet

Kyle, my teenager, chose the 14.5″ Northern Lights Lava® lamp. This lamp is gorgeous, and truly mimics the wondrous glow of the Northern Lights. There are shades of blue, pink, purple, and orange, and the effect is calming and so beautiful! 

Here are the stats:

• Silver glitter / clear liquid / Northern Lights decal base & cap
• Instant start up action!
• Provides relaxing, soft light
• Aluminum base
• 25 watt light bulb included
• Plugs into a power outlet

Xander, my 5 year old, chose the ​14.5″ Aquarium lamp.  This lamp is super cool, and perfect for those who love aquatic life. This lamp uses distilled water, and has fish that "swim" around inside. How cool is that?! 

Sadly, we encountered an issue with this lamp before I could get photos of it. Totally NOT a problem with the lamp itself....This was an issue with a too-curious cat that tried to go fishing, and knocked the lamp off of a table, effectively breaking it. 

So if you have mischievous kitties, maybe the Aquarium lamp isn't the best idea....

Anyway, here are the details about this super-cute lamp:

• Black base & cap
• Generates a soft, relaxing aquarium sound
• Add distilled water
• Plugs into a power outlet

​Yes, I will be purchasing another one for poor Xander, since now he's upset and lampless. Maybe I will opt for something less tempting to the kitties, though! 

Overall, we're absolutely in LOVE with our Lava® Lamps. Sophie raves about the pink, glittery glow in her room. She uses hers as a night-light, since she's afraid of things that go bump in the night. Her lamp offers a soft, soothing glow, which allows her to sleep without fear.

Kyle also loves his lamp, and says it makes the perfect addition to his funky, teen-style decor. 

Poor Xander...Well...Stay tuned. I will be getting him a new Lava® Lamp, since his was so rudely destroyed by one of our feline friends before he could even enjoy it. 

If you're looking for the perfect gift for the groovy folks on your Holiday lists this year, definitely take a look and check out the wonderful variety of styles that Lava® Lamp has to offer. I think you'll be as pleasantly surprised as we were!
