The great thing about a hot tub is that, no matter how cold it is outside, you can still enjoy a bubbly warm dip. Yes, even in December. So if you're wondering how to fill your winter evenings in semi or full lockdown, an outdoor spa could be a great investment. And, just in time, B&M has brought back a bargain hot tub once again.
You can get your hands on the must-have Bestway Lay-Z Spa Miami for just £300. It hits stores this week... so if you're looking for a last-minute Christmas present for the family – and have been scuppered by the closure of non-essential stores in your area – it could be the answer.

B&M is classed as an essential store because it sells food and other household 'essentials'. However, we do advise you call ahead to check stock, and don't take any unnecessary risks when shopping.
B&M hot tubs are back...
Gone are the days when you'd have to splash out thousands to be in the hot tub club. You can now pop to your local shop and pick up an inflatable version that does the trick.
The Bestway Lay-Z-Spa Miami caused chaos when it was first released in 2018 – due to it selling out in record time – and made a comeback in June last year.
The luxury spa pool features 81 air jets that combine heat and bubbles for the ultimate relaxing experience – it’s the ideal way to relax and unwind in the comfort of your own home this summer.
In stores now: Bestway Lay-Z-Spa Miami 4-person hot tub, £300, B&M
B&M gazebos return, too
Worried that rain might stop play, or simply want a little privacy in your tub? B&M is also stocking gazebos to provide cover for your hot tub. Choose between a steel-framed Grey Gazebo for £100 (shown above) and the Pop-up Grey Gazebo which is just £55.
Our pick is the more luxurious steel-framed number, which boasts a shower-proof, woven polyester canopy, as well as mosquito nets to keep out the bugs in summer.
Last year, in anticipation of their hot tubs flying off the shelves, the discount retailer implemented house rules to keep customers in check...
Hot tub rules for customers:
1. There is NO try before you buy policy
2. Please don’t make jokes about the weather while purchasing
3. One hot tub per customer
4. No violence will be tolerated when trying to get your hands on a hot tub
