A breakfast delivery Tasker can save you the trouble of getting up early to fetch breakfast; You could fetch it from your doorstep instead! Or hire a Tasker to pick up a charcuterie board for your romantic dinner or virtual ladies’ night.

What better way to share your feelings than have it done in song? But if you can’t belt out a tune to save your life, you can leave the singing to a talented Tasker. You can even hire a full band to make the rendition special!

From modern-day pop hits to classic ballads (maybe mum and dad have their own special song?), know that your love will always stay in tune, even if someone else does the singing for you.

Valentine’s Day Tasks on Airtasker

It’s that time of year again when the price of roses triple (or maybe even more), teddy bears take over shop windows and delicious chocolates are the norm. But on Airtasker we see people thinking outside of the box with romantic dates set up, musicians are the hot ticket and favourite food deliveries are far superior.

Here are some other creative ideas for Valentine’s Day that you could easily get done with Airtasker:

Picnic Set Up

A picnic is nothing new, however, you can add an extra special touch by hiring an Airtasker to pick up everything and set it up for you. They won’t even have an inkling of what you have planned.

Borrow a Puppy

If you’re a renter it probably means you can’t have a pet at home. So if you’re coupled-up with a someone who tends to squeal at the sight of one, you could borrow one for an hour or so as a special treat.

Let me borrow your pup on valentines day morning

Dear airtaskers,
I saw a post on here a couple of days ago from a guy looking to borrow a dog for his girlfriend, and I thought it was an awesome idea.
I’m looking to do the same for my partner on valentines day morning. I’m located in Rushcutters Bay, and you’d need to pick up and drop off. We’d just take it for a walk around Rushcutters and hang out with it in the grass and stuff.
Preferred breeds are:
1. French Bulldog
2. Pug
3. Kaboodle
After that, it’s pretty much free game.
*this is because we live in apartments and, therefore, can’t have our own dogs
Price: $60
