National Sweetest Day marks the time of year to show kindness to the ones you care the most about and gift them with something to show your appreciation.
The special day, which takes place on the third Saturday in October, was initially called Candy Day and was first celebrated in 1916. However, the theme of charity and giving to loved ones started in 1921.
Although the day is typically celebrated with sweets and small presents, kind words can be just as rewarding. Consider sharing these 20 quotes about love that were complied from AZ Quotes and Brainy Quote.
