Sweetest Day — 17 October

What is Sweetest Day?

To put it simply, Sweetest Day every October 17, is a day to be sweet by sharing a kind thought, a small gift or a gesture of kindness. It’s a day to give a card with a sweet message to someone you appreciate. Little gifts of candy and other sweets are shared, as well.
