There was once a big deal made of the first day of May. In small towns especially, small baskets filled with homemade bread or cookies, cut flowers, or other goodies, would be left at someone's doorstep. You would set down the basket, ring the doorbell, and run away. Of course there are other May Day traditions in the various places where it is celebrated, but this one seems to be such a lovely act of kindness. I think it would be a nice random thing to do any day!
