<p>For the Valentine&#8217;s Day lovers among us, I&#8217;ll post the Top 5 Valentine&#8217;s Day Errand Ideas for your significant <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mii8aJklEOg" target="_blank">Shmoopy</a>.</p>
<p>Tomorrow&#8217;s blog post will feature ideas for the Anti-Valentine&#8217;s Day sentiment that is alive and well out there. I&#8217;ll be posting the Top 5 Ways To Treat Yourself.</p>
<p>Top 5 Valentine Gift Ideas from <a href="http://runmyerrand.com/" target="_blank">RunMyErrand</a> for Valentine&#8217;s Day Lovers:</p>
<p><strong>5.</strong> Hire a Runner to pick up a selection of desserts from the top local Boston bakeries for your hunny. Might we recommend a Cherry Crumb Tart from <a href="http://www.petsipies.com/" target="_blank">Petsi Pies</a> in Somerville/Cambridge, a few Red Velvet cupcakes from <a href="http://www.kickasscupcakes.com/" target="_blank">KickAss Cupcakes</a> in Davis Sq., and a few mini Boston cream pies and mini Tiramisu from <a href="http://www.finaledesserts.com/" target="_blank">Finale</a> in Harvard Square.</p>
<p>Cost &#8211; approximately $30.</p>
<p>Taste Level &#8211; Extremely High.</p>
<p><strong>4.</strong> Set up a Chocolate Tasting at <a href="http://www.yelp.com/biz/aroa-fine-chocolate-boston-2" target="_blank">Aroa Fine Chocolates</a> in the South End. Aroa Chocolatiers will walk you and your Shmoopy through an exquisite tasting of a variety of various truffles, Pate de Fruits and Caramels. Chocolate IS an aphrodisiac, you know.</p>
<p>Cost &#8211; $10.</p>
<p>Taste Level &#8211; Exceptional.</p>
<p><strong>3. </strong>Hire a Runner to pick up and deliver a bunch of gorgeous flowers from <a href="http://www.centralsquareflorist.com/" target="_blank">Central Square Florist</a>. Perhaps your Runner will also help you compose a beautiful love sonnet a la Cyrano de Bergerac? Use the promo code ValDay2 for $5 off your delivery. Might we suggest a nice bunch of Cala Lillies for your Shmoopy? Why Cala Lillies? Because I like them. That&#8217;s why.</p>
<p>Cost &#8211; $55.</p>
<p>Taste Level &#8211; Personalized and Memorable.</p>
<p><strong>2.</strong> <a href="http://runmyerrand.com/errands/newErrand?ref=menu" target="_blank">Hire a Runner</a> to cook a fine dinner for you and  Shmoopy. Put your feet up and relax! Let a Runner pamper you! We have  loads of culinary experts at the ready who will create an exquisite menu  from organic and local ingredients, <a href="http://photos.igougo.com/images/p167234-Boston-Boston_Public_Garden.jpg" target="_blank">like duck</a>,  purchased at <a href="http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/recipes/" target="_blank">Whole  Foods.</a> What would you like prepared? How about a warm goat cheese  salad with pears and walnuts, a delicate Rack of Lamb with Herbs de  Provence, and an indulgent Venezuelan chocolate mousse with mint. How  can you say no to that?</p>
<p>Cost &#8211; $150.</p>
<p>Taste Level &#8211; Major Yum.</p>
<p><strong>1.</strong> Have a Runner put together a <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3K88Os_ixFc/SaxgPtucFeI/AAAAAAAAAn0/76prtT9zHE4/s400/michael_bolton2.jpg" target="_blank">sexy mixtape</a> for your Shmoopy. NOTHING says <a href="http://www.goldenwoodstudio.com/uploads/images/Unicorns/FUN405_Unicorn%20Love.jpg" target="_blank">endless love</a> like a mixtape featuring the likes of Milli Vanilli, Air Supply, ABBA and Styx.</p>
<p>Cost: Some would say $7-$10. I would say &#8220;priceless.&#8221;</p>
<p>Taste Level: Dubious at best.</p>
<p>Use promo code ValDayRME first time users for $15 off your first errand! And feel free to take all the credit for that mixtape idea.</p>
