Vitruvi Move Diffuser

4.8

View On Amazon View On Wayfair View On Goop.com

The Vitruvi Move Cordless Diffuser makes a great gift for anyone who enjoys invigorating aromatherapy and creating ambiance in their space. It’s also a good Christmas gift for yoga and meditation teachers, estheticians, and massage therapists. What we love about this essential oil diffuser is that it has the same sleek design as the company’s Stone Diffuser, but has the capability to move around, with no cords attached, so you can place it anywhere you want without having to worry about plugs. And, on top of that, it’s sold on Amazon, so you can use Prime shipping for your last-minute Christmas shopping advantage.

One of our home testers was pleasantly surprised that she didn't hear the diffuser while it was in use—"I've had other diffusers that are fairly noisy, and while that can serve as a sort of white noise when you’re drifting off to sleep, it’s nice to be able to run the diffuser silently," she explains.
