She was signed, sealed and lost in the post

So this week I'm putting together a music parcel for a mildly musically challenged, yet adventurous, and, might I mention gorgeous, friend. What to include, what to include? I'm considered making it up of mostly new britpop, some wombats and definitely the new kooks album, but what else ought to be there? She is living in Philly at the moment but is taking leave to go to Argentina next year so I will have to include some deep thinking soul searching music. I could send her some Modest Mouse, but what if she doesnt like it? That could be a little awkward. I will need to do some shopping on this and report back with the setlist :)
