I remember having a lava lamp that slowly warmed the lava and moved it about. However, mine actually had a light bulb on the inside. This lava lamp can even be used while you’re camping, since it doesn’t even require a bulb or to be plugged in. Instead this lava lamp goes for the lo-tech approach. To warm up the lava it only requires a handy little tea light, making it possible to take it wherever your heart desires.

If you need a quirky light for your patio, then this could work just as easily. It’s the very first lava lamp to actually be powered by a tea light. The retro lamp comes in 4 different colors, including pink, purple, turquoise and green. The rest of it features cast zinc alloy base and bottle cap, plus a chrome plated finish. Then the glass bottle is filled with that famous super secret lava. With that small tea candle it can run for 3 hours, which is about the usual burn time for one tea light candle. You can pick it up for $29.99 through Think Geek.

Cedar iPod Dock

Posted: 25 Jul 2010 04:46 PM PDT

If you’re just not satisfied with all of the modern looking docks out there, perhaps you’d like something that feels a little more earthy. It does’nt get much more earthy than a log filled with speakers. Sure, they’ve cleaned up the wood and shaved it down so that it looks a whole lot more smooth, but it’s still just a log of wood.

Just plug your very modern looking iPod Touch or iPhone directly into the dock and it’ll play your music all the while giving your phone a bit of a charge. The dock is handmade out of cedar, so you’ll get the joy of smelling cedar while you listen to your music. It comes with 2 USB cables and a headphone jack cable. It also has a USB wall adapter so that you can power it off of your standard electric outlet. You can purchase is for $238 through Etsy.

Light Up Beach Ball

Posted: 25 Jul 2010 04:25 PM PDT

Going to the beach during the day is extremely fun as the whole family (as well as friends, of course) will be able to have a swimmingly good time bonding together with some picnic and chit chat, apart from getting an appropriate tan, of course. Well, what happens when you decide to hold a beach BBQ? The situation can also be fun, as you keep your entire entourage’s stomachs filled with lovely food apart from having fun by playing with the Light Up Beach Ball. This £7.95 ball features the ability to change its color with each bounce, making it ideal for parties and general fun. Good thing it comes with batteries to get you started right out of the box. When fully inflated, it measures 40cm in diameter.

Mattel Loopz lets you have fun the modern way

Posted: 25 Jul 2010 04:24 PM PDT

Forget about button mashing, that is clearly old school (although by no means outdated) with the success of the Nintendo Wii and promise of the Kinect system from Microsoft being examples of how the gaming scene is changing. Mattel, toy maker extraordinaire, has also decided to join the fray by coming up with a new toy known as Mattel Loopz. It will utilize a range of infrared beam sensors which will detect when you place your hand through a quartet of semi-circular rings. The game itself will come with 7 gameplay modes, letting you go solo or have fun with up to 3 other different people. Among the game modes include Music Studio, Freestyle DJ, Musicology, Reflex Master, Versus mode, Rhythm and Flow, and Repeat the Beat. In multi-player mode, players can create their own patterns to try and outsmart their rivals. Want to pick this up? It is going for $29.99.
