5 Last-Minute Sweetest Day Gift Ideas

October 17, 2019

Sweetest Day is Saturday, Oct. 19 this year, a day to celebrate your love for your significant other as well as friends and family.

Sweetest Day got its start in Cleveland in the early 1920s when a local candy company employee gave out treats to orphans and those in need of some extra love, according to Hallmark. It always falls on the third Saturday in October.

If you haven’t thought about Sweetest Day yet, we’ve got you covered. You can’t go wrong with these five last-minute Sweetest Day gift ideas!

1. A Snack Subscription $$$

Keep the one you love snacking happily with a giant snack pack, or better yet, a snack subscription. With subscription services like NatureBox or SnackCrate, they can receive healthy snacks based on their preferences—even snacks from around the world.

2. Dance Lessons $$$

With daily deal sites like Groupon and LivingSocial, it’s never been easier to find dance classes close to home—and without breaking the bank. Bonus: It’s an interactive gift you get to enjoy together!

3. A Massage $$

Nothing says “I love you” like treating your significant other to a relaxing massage. And if you’re already scouring deal sites, you can find something that fits within your budget.

4. A Candy Bouquet $

This one is super-easy, inexpensive and works for everyone. You can put together a lollipop bouquet with a simple flowerpot, some Styrofoam and suckers, or dip pretzels in white chocolate and sprinkle them with colors from your love’s favorite sports team. It just takes a little creativity and a trip to the store.

5. A Mini Orchid $

Cute, colorful and easy to care for, mini orchids make the perfect gift. They bloom throughout the year and just need one ice cube a week. Best of all, they come in a variety of colors to fit any personality. Just pick one up at a store near you or order online today and you’re all set for Sweetest Day. Enjoy!
