Sweetest Day is celebrated on the third Saturday of October. The purpose of this day is to do something thoughtful for important people in your life and express yourself romantically to the ones you love. So, what kind gestures do you have planned for this year? Our thoughts are below.

Gifts for girlfriends

Whether you’ve been together for one month, one year, or 10 years, a beautiful bouquet of roses works every time. These flowers are recognized as a symbol of love, and we know that your lucky lady will swoon over a bouquet of roses, no matter the color (plus a bottle of wine!). Red roses may be traditional, but pink and yellow are favorites, too!

In addition to roses, consider the following:


Gifts for boyfriends

Ladies, we know that sometimes boyfriends are difficult to shop for, but trust us when we say that there are plenty of awesome gift options for them, too. If you’ve got a special man in your life who loves to spend time outdoors grilling, this turf and tools set will have him smiling from cheek to cheek.

Some other ideas include:


Gifts for wives

Like we mentioned in our gifts for girlfriends section, a bouquet of roses is the perfect gift for any special lady in your life. However, roses aren’t the only flower we’d recommend for a Sweetest Day gift — there are tons of other arrangements available, too!

Along with a bouquet of flowers, your wife might like:

Additionally, your husband might also like:


Gifts for moms

No matter how old we get, our moms will always be one of the most important people in our lives, so we should show them how appreciated they are. If you’re shopping for a new mom, we recommend one of the gift sets found here (mom AND baby will love it).

For all other moms, we suggest the following:


Gifts for dads

Some dads may say that as long as they have their family, they have it all — but a gift for Sweetest Day certainly wouldn’t hurt. Any dad who likes hosting would love one of these entertaining gifts.

Some other ideas include:


Gifts for daughters

We love fall flowers, and the beautiful combination of colors in fall floral arrangements makes for the perfect addition to your daughter’s desk or nightstand.

Additionally, some gifts for daughters include:


Gifts for sons

Have a young one at home? If so, this embroidered mini sports bag is perfect for him and will certainly keep your little one busy for hours.

However, if your son is on the older side, we think he’d enjoy:
