Shoppers at Marks and Spencer are exclaiming 'it's for me' after a popular gift set was reduced by 40%, making it too enticing to part with as a present. Originally priced at £40, the Revive and Reset Gift Set is now available for just £24, exclusively online. This stylish set includes a reed diffuser, a ceramic candle, and an artificial succulent, all elegantly packaged in a wooden gift box.
Product Details and Customer Reactions
The reed diffuser features an oil blend with notes of cardamom, cinnamon, cedar, and sandalwood, while the candle combines lavender, sweet orange, clary sage, and cedarwood. The artificial succulent adds a touch of greenery, and all items come in matching white ceramic pots. A hidden message on the candle reads 'take a deep breath and relax'. With 4.8 stars from 21 reviews, customers are raving about the set's value and presentation.
One reviewer shared, 'Bought as a gift for an adult relative. Beautifully boxed and received positively.' Another admitted, 'Lovely product, came in a beautiful wooden box with rope handle. Would make an excellent gift but I am not parting with it. IT'S FOR ME.' A third added, 'Presented in a lovely wooden box, a thoughtful collection of products that makes a perfect gift!'
Comparisons and Minor Criticisms
While most feedback is positive, some shoppers noted drawbacks. One negative review mentioned disappointment over the lack of a gift message option, and a four-star reviewer commented, 'Looks lovely on a tray on my coffee table but there’s next to no scent.' However, many others praised the set, with one saying, 'Comes in a lovely wooden box, items are individually wrapped and are just beautiful, treat yourself like I did you won’t be disappointed.' Another highlighted the value, stating, 'So impressed by the value of this I bought it twice for different couples this Christmas.'
