NOPE what we did when I was growing up in Lignite. If the receiver caught you they were supposed to either give you a kiss OR a punch in the arm.

? Not familiar with this custom. Who gives May Day baskets, and why? What do you do when you catch the giver? Where did this custom originate?

The most well-known tradition of May Day is the gifting of May baskets. Similar to maypoles, May baskets symbolize the fertility of women. Many people create baskets of candy and other small goodies to bring to friends and family in honor of this celebration. Traditionally, May baskets must be left for unsuspecting neighbors.
