Mod Gift Guide: what she really wants for Valentines


Forget the flowers, surprise her with some heart shaped balloons. Deliver them to her office, or fill the house with them for an unexpected surprise.


Make her something nice. If you are planning to cook , add some sweet heart-shaped roast potatoes as a special side.


Go retro and bring back the mix-tape. Order one of these USB mix-tapes (they really exist) filled with all her favourite smoochy love songs.


You cannot go wrong with cup-cakes. Buy them, make them, or even better, get her a voucher for her favourite bakery too, so she can pop in for more on her lunch-break.


A personalised print like this one from Coulson Macleod. Each piece is individually handmade in the U.K. Check out their Top Ten Designs for Valentines DayYou can have your print personalised by adding the name of your Valentine, a quote or line from a favourite song or poem.


Love her iPhone as much as she does, and get her one of these cute covers from Marc Jacobs.


Breakfast in bed in a cute vintage tea-set. Check e-bay and order today or pop into your local charity shop.


Don't forget a cute card. Bonus points for adding a lovely love-note.


For the busy mamas, Peace and Quiet. Organise a day just for her. Splurge on a spa-day, a voucher for her trusted beautician or hairstylist, or just take the kids away and allow her a day to herself. Remember, this means dressing and feeding kids, and whisking them away early so she can get ready and eat breakfast in peace, and under no circumstances call her to ask if she will be back in time to make dinner.


(P.S. Don't forget to send him the link or casually leave this page open somewhere he can see.)

Coming soon: a Mod Mob gift-guide for the guys.
