Happy May Day! Do you do baskets?

Ask:
We try to do them each year for our neighbors, but not sure if I will get them done today.
Maybe I can get to the store and have the kids deliver them tonight.
Answer:

I've never heard of this. What do you put in the baskets and how many neighbors do you deliver them to? Is this something that your neighborhood does or are you just a very generous and caring person? I think this sounds like a wonderful idea to bring the neighborhood closer together! Wouldn't it be great to get this started in many communities!
Answer:

No...I've never heard or seen that done around here.
Answer:

We do them. Mind you...my kids have no idea what "I'm doing!" but they'll figure it out as they get older.
Answer:

our school has kids make them and deliver them to surrounding neighbors and a nursing home.

I noticed that most of the people who responded saying they were familiar with this tradition were from the northwest. It must be a regional thing.
