Believe it or not, Halloween isn’t the only candy coated holiday in October. While not everyone celebrates it – or even knows it exists – Sweetest Day offers another opportunity to pass out sweets. But in this case, it’s all in the name of love.
Falling each year on the third Saturday in October, Sweetest Day is a sort of fun-sized Valentine’s Day. It’s celebrated by giving gifts of candy to your sweetheart and other important people in your life. The holiday was founded in 1921 by – surprise, surprise – a group of confectioners.
Given that history, it’s easy to understand why some people dismiss Sweetest Day as a made up holiday. However, in many parts of the country – particularly the Midwest – Sweetest Day is a real thing. And besides, can you really have too many holidays celebrating love (and candy)?
Here are some ideas on how you can send your love on Sweetest Day, whether it’s to a friend, family member, or romantic partner. These Sweetest Day greetings are perfect for attaching to a gift of goodies, or simply sharing online.
