Christmas shopping is in full swing, with many shoppers preparing early for the festive season, and retailers releasing deals ahead of Black Friday in two weeks time.

Marks and Spencer is a go-to place for Christmas food and present shopping for many Britons, and in 2024 there is one gift in particular that is flying off the shelves.

According to M&S, the Apothecary Wellness Bag is the most sold item across their entire gifting range. It seems shoppers are prioritising self-care for themselves and their gift recipients in 2024.

Perhaps part of the reason it's so popular is due to the price. The wellness gift usually costs £50, but it is currently reduced to £25.

That means shoppers can get their hands on the tote bag and eight full-size essential oil-infused products for 50% of the usual price.

Inside the stylish reusable bag, are eight products, including a diffuser, candle and bath oil, along with several bathroom essentials, so its great for relaxation and pampering on winter evenings, and kitting out your lounge and bathroom stash.

Full contents include: 

• Restore Body Wash - 250ml
• Calm Hand Wash - 250ml
• Calm Hand and Body Lotion - 250ml
• Calm Bath Oil - 230ml
• Sleep Body Butter - 70ml
• Sleep Pillow mist - 150ml
• Calm Mini Diffuser - 30ml
• Meditate Votive Candle - 60g

Marks and Spencer shoppers have started leaving their feedback on the gift set, with one saying: ''Looks great quality and good value for money, it’s a Christmas present so haven’t tried anything.''

Another commented: ''Wanted something for a friend’s birthday. Loved the tote bag that it came in. The products are luxurious and good sizes. I’m hoping if I drop enough hints I might get someone to buy one for me too.''

While the M&S set is popular, there are cheaper similar gifts available like, The Best of L'OCCITANE Bodycare Gift Set for £21.60 at John Lewis.

Or, there's the £14.50 Wellness Collection Gift Set from Boots.
