Anna McGeoch, marketing manager:

“These days, hanging up a wet bath mat. But a hug and a kiss still goes a long way.”

Michael Grenenger, associate publisher:

There is no small act of love, they‘re all the same.”

Melanie Milne-Davies, creative director and baker:

“Making the bed. I think that is a beautiful sign of love and respect for a relationship.”

Christine Piper, chief sub-editor:

“My husband, very kindly, often lets me sleep in the morning – which is a big deal when you have young kids.”

Tim Fernandes, sales & business development director:

“I’d say listening and remembering are two of the most important things. It’s definitely what my wife is incredibly good at.”

Katarina Kroslakova, editor-in-chief:

“Look, if anyone wanted to buy me a Maserati for my birthday I wouldn’t complain (29th of March, the same day as Elle Macpherson). But it’s the little things that go a long way, so unexpected flowers, unloading the dishwasher or even a morning cuddle. But again, the Maserati is never a bad idea.”

Hollie Wornes, social media & digital manager:

“Putting fresh linen sheets on the bed on a Sunday afternoon is the ultimate small act of love.”

Victoria Pearson, digital content director:

“I have a huge soft spot for cards. Any kind of love note. It can be three words long and i’ll melt.”

Hannah Tattersall, acting digital content director:

“My husband doesn’t drink coffee so when he goes for a run on a Sunday and brings me back an almond flat white, it melts my heart!”

Tom Lazarus, copy director:

“For me, it’s making the first flat white of the morning for your other half.”
