Once upon a time, another lifetime ago, we used to go to spas and get massages to leave the stresses of real life behind us.

There’s something about the atmosphere, the serenity of a spa, that really allows you to unwind and switch off, and a lot of that is down to scent.

That soft, calming smell that seemed to unfurl itself round every corner and infuse itself into everything in sight - we can almost smell it now.

Which is why today’s small buy of the day is this top-rated Ultrasonic Diffuser Gift Set from Marks & Spencer.

It look like a stylish ornament for your home and it instantly infuses your living space with a soothing aroma and delicate mist.

You can use the diffuser with the calm aroma oil included, or with any of your favourite Marks and Spencer refresher oils depending on your mood.

Buy it: Ultrasonic Diffuser Gift Set | £29.50 from Marks & Spencer

The diffuser features an auto stop feature and warm illuminating LED light, and works for up to six hours at a time.

To be honest, at this point we’ll buy anything that will mask the scent of whatever concoction our teenagers have cooked up for lunch during their homeschooling break.

Imagine, sitting down at the end of the day, G&T in one hand, a juicy novel in the other, and the luxurious scent of a spa all around.

Pure bliss, and all for under £30. That’s less than any spa day we’ve ever been on.

What the reviews say

With almost 100 reviews, the majority being five-stars and many saying they’ve purchase multiple, it’s no surprise the diffuser has already had to be restocked several times.

  • “I’m so impressed with this, it’s really great and a fantastic price too... well done M&S.”

  • “I bought my diffuser after Xmas when they came back in stock and I'm really happy with it. I've used it in my bedroom every day since purchase. The ceramic cover makes it look expensive. The light is soothing along with the calming oil which comes with.”

  • “I bought one to try, so calming, fabulous natural scent for your home. I bought two more for other rooms they are incredible.”

  • “I bought this diffuser last week after seeing a similar product three times the price. Unable to justify such a splurge I took my chances with this - and could not be happier. Classic design, easy to use and works perfectly. Ordering a second for my bedroom. Would also make a fantastic gift.”

  • “A great way to infuse your home with essential oils. The diffuser is simple to use and makes the house smell great.”
