May Has Special Sweetheart Stories!

Delivering a May Basket to neighbors, friends and family is fun, or maybe this could be that special way to help you ask out that special person you are interested in dating.

There are special sweetheart stories from the past where the young man, lady and young at heart delivered a precious lovely gift of flowers. They were in love and bravely stepped up to the door of the person they hoped to ask out.

Don’t get caught! Their hearts had to be pounding with excitement. They had to be wondering if they would be seen or even caught right in the act quietly placing the handle of the paper May Basket or paper cone on the doorknob. Maybe they loudly knocked and said “May Basket” then quickly walked or ran away!
