As people become more mobile and jobs take them to different regions, the once-regional celebration of Sweetest Day is spreading throughout the country.

It's popularity has grown to the point that Hallmark has increased it's selection of Sweetest Day cards from 48 in 2000 to 142 in 2004.

Ohio is the number 1 celebrator of the Sweetest Day.
