Sweeten Your Sweetest Day With These Sweetest Day Ideas

Contrary to popular belief, Sweetest Day is not just another “Hallmark” holiday. Sweetest Day was established in Cleveland, Ohio in 1922 by candy company employee, Herbert Birch Kingston.The first Sweetest Day was celebrated by distributing candy and small gifts to those in need. Today, Sweetest Day is celebrated every third Saturday of October by sharing sweets, flowers, and cards with friends and loved ones.
