It used to be that if the chocolates weren't Godiva and the lingerie wasn't Myla you weren't interested but these days it's the simpler things in life which float your boat and send you running to your friends bragging about how your man brings you a cup of tea each morning. Your mother always told you that manners cost nothing, well neither does romance so next time your making his packed lunch, why not slip a little post it in there with a cheery (or dirty) message on? We can guarantee it'll mean a whole lot more to him than an itchy sweater from John Lewis.
