Having something sweet delivered on Sweetest Day has been an American tradition since 1921. Today, that’s usually done by ordering Sweetest Day Flowers and Sweetest Day Gifts online from a company such as ProFlowers. But the day itself was started by a group of civic-minded confectioners and movie stars. It’s been honored on the third Saturday of October every year since the newsboys of Cleveland, Ohio received sweets to thank them for their dependable service.
