Date: March 02 2016
Looking to spark some romance in your relationship but simply don’t have the time? Luckily, the Internet has got you covered. Just as you would outsource household chores or gardening tasks, you can also outsource your romance! Online community marketplaces like Airtasker have made it easier than ever with outsourcing at the click of a button. If you want help, simply ask online. Whether it’s a small gesture to remind your partner of how much you appreciate them, or a grand romantic surprise for a special occasion, the possibilities are endless.
Ready to dial up the romance but need some inspiration? Check out these creative, romantic tasks people have outsourced to impress their significant other.
1. ORGANISE A SURPRISE DELIVERY
Hire someone to purchase your partner’s favourite flowers or chocolates to be delivered to their office. Whether it’s for a birthday, anniversary or simply just because, they’ll appreciate the considered thought and surprise. It’s the little things that count!
2. SING A ROMANTIC TUNE
Looking for a grand gesture? Hire someone to serenade to your other half in public. You can opt for a classic romantic tune like Dolly Parton’s ‘I Will Always Love You’ or go with something funny that will resonate with your partner. Perhaps a song based on an experience or memory you both treasure.
3. SHOW THE SUPPORT WITH FOOD
If your other half has been feeling a little stressed, why not show your support with a surprise delivery of their favourite foods? If they’ve got a sweet tooth, you can’t go wrong with a Messina tub topped with their go-to flavours or several tubs of Ben & Jerry’s. If your partner prefers savoury treats, a KFC bucket can do the trick too!
4. BORROW A PUPPY
Coupled up with a dog lover who can’t have a pet because you’re in an apartment? You can borrow a puppy for a few hours as the ultimate treat. If you know the sight of a cavoodle or pug will make your partner melt, list your preferred dog breeds in the task listing. Before you know it, you’ll be scoring all the brownie points in the world for planning such a delightful surprise.
5. CREATE THE PERFECT DATE
Up your date night game and hire someone to plan and set up a romantic beachside picnic. Outsourcing the prep work and logistics can save you a significant amount of time. All you have to do is rock up on the day with your partner – they won’t have an inkling about how you pulled it off!
6. GIVE THE GIFT OF TIME
Sometimes practical gifts can come off more romantic than a bouquet of flowers. If you know your other half is snowed down with household chores or life admin, why not outsource some tasks to free up their time and ease their load? For example, hire a cleaner to take care of their house cleaning for the week, so your partner can spend the extra time with you instead.
When it comes to romancing your special someone, there is no right or wrong answer. From the smallest gesture to the grandest, romance comes in all shapes and sizes. The important thing to remember is to keep it personalised and thoughtful. So the next time that anniversary rolls up and you haven’t had time to plan, don’t panic and outsource it!
