candygrams
Sugary greeting deliveries
Candygrams are small gifts of candy, typically attached to a personalized note or greeting, sold as fundraisers in American schools—especially around Valentine's Day or holidays.
Students purchase them to send to friends or crushes, with volunteers delivering them during class: She got three candygrams on Valentine's Day.
The format varies: a lollipop with a paper heart, a candy cane with a tag.
The word blends candy with telegram, evoking old-fashioned message delivery.
