Summarize this article:

Small items like cookies or popcorn balls are nice additions to your May Day basket; plus, you can make 1 big batch and use just 2 or 3 treats per basket. This way you can make a lot of baskets to give away, or you can have leftover treats for yourself. You could also put in some fresh fruit, like oranges, clementines, or freshly picked strawberries. If you do include fresh fruit, make sure the items are still in good shape and won’t go bad by the time you deliver the baskets. If you have a garden or access to fresh flowers, trim off a few stalks and tie the stems together with twine to make a simple, fresh bouquet. If you don’t have access to fresh flowers, you could always buy a big bouquet from a florist or from the grocery store, split the bouquet apart, and assemble smaller bunches to use in your baskets.  Never take flowers from someone else’s yard if you don’t have their permission. Bouquets don’t have to be big to be beautiful. Three or four single flowers put together can be just as attractive as a full bouquet. If your friends or neighbors don’t celebrate May Day, they may get confused when a random spring basket appears at their home. Remedy this by writing out a note on card stock to put into each basket. Have your note read something like, “Happy May Day!” or “A basket of treats to help you celebrate May Day!” The great thing about May Day baskets is that they can be really small and still be nice and meaningful to those who receive them. Find small baskets at the local dollar store, craft store, or even at a used goods store. Place the flowers in the basket so they are sticking out and visible, add the homemade goodies, and prop the handwritten note in the basket so that it is standing up. You can get as complex as you want to with your baskets. Keep them simple, or decorate them with ribbon, add more treats, like chocolates or wine, make them bigger, or do whatever else calls to your imagination. There is no right or wrong way! Traditionally, May Day baskets are left on doorsteps or outside of people’s homes, the doorbell is rung, and the giver of the basket runs away. If you’re worried that someone else might come by and steal the basket, then deliver it in person and make sure the intended recipient gets it. However you end up delivering the basket is okay—it can be fun to surprise people and leave them guessing who gifted it to them, but it also can be fun to talk with someone and wish them a happy May Day in person.

Summary:
Make homemade treats to put into the baskets for a special touch. Create small flower bouquets for a simple, yet beautiful, addition. Write a short note to put in the basket referencing May Day. Arrange the basket to prepare it for delivery. Deliver the basket to a neighbor to give them a May Day treat.
