May Day Baskets

The tradition of the May Day basket has unfortunately been dead for some time as far as I can tell. I remember doing them with Drake when we lived at the old house (we didn't have many folks to give to) and the boys and I also did them for their friends and my friends back in 2020 right after Covid hit). 

On Thursday night, I looked over at the Alexa display and saw that it was April 30th and I decided I wanted to put together baskets for a few friends. I hopped online and picked out a few things from Target - socks, lip balm, face masks and a variety of candy. 

My Friday got a bit out of hand and I didn't get around to putting them together until around 8:00 at night, but I was determined to get them out. I also got out my old stamping set and quickly "decorated" the cards. Putting them together (while getting to talk to both of my sisters while doing so!) was fun. Marshall was kind enough to help me deliver them. It's much harder to "surprise" someone with ring doorbells these days, but I just left them on the doorsteps for them to find at some point. 

A few women reached out as they found them and could see it was me. A couple folks were trying to figure it out at the Cinco de Mayo party (I quickly told them it was me) and couple folks haven't said anything. So, I think my plan worked out perfectly. (I also wonder if some haven't been found as some of these front doors aren't used that much!)
