Martini Lamp Review

My husband is the martini drinker in the house.  We've bought him fancy gins and glasses over the years for his martinis, but my sister really hit it out of the park when she bought him this Martini Lamp for his last birthday. 

This Martini Lamp is about a foot tall and consists of a nickel-plated metal martini glass frame, a large green plastic circle with a small red lamp inside, and a large wooden skewer slanting through the whole thing.  The "pimento" red light is cute but not particularly powerful, so you can't depend on this Martini Lamp to actually provide illumination in a space. Basically, this novelty light is going to look cute on a counter or bar, but you have to account for the fact that it will take up surface area without providing anything other than an unsual and fun little decoration. 

At about $60, this Martini Lamp is a unique gift for those who enjoy martinis.  It can be difficult to find locally, but it is widely available online.  This is the kind of thing that we'd never have thought to buy for our basement bar, but something that everyone who visits comments favorably on.  We are so happy to have it and would recommend it as a fun gift.
