Social media has become our highlight reel in every way. It allows us to showcase our personal victories, our best days, and our best selves. Filters, photoshop, and meticulously worded captions all contribute to the facade that life is perfect through a screen. We would never knock this, as social media has many benefits, too! However, we truly believe that there is so much more.
We all know how great it feels to receive a gift, especially when it's unexpected. But what if you could take it to the next level by sending an anonymous gift? That's right, no name, no note, just a mysterious package waiting to be opened. You might be thinking, why would I want to do that?
Well, there are actually a ton of reasons why sending an anonymous gift is the perfect way to show you care. For starters, it adds an element of surprise and excitement that just can't be achieved with a traditional gift. Plus, it allows you to show your appreciation or affection without any pressure or expectations. Whether it's for a friend, family member, or significant other, sending an anonymous gift is a thoughtful and unique gesture that is sure to be appreciated.
When Gratitude Gifted was formed, we set out to create an anonymous gifting experience. Anonymous gifting ensures all of the attention and focus is on the recipient, not the giver. We believe that by spreading gratitude anonymously, you are expressing gratitude in its purest form.
The Power of Anonymity in Gift-Giving
Gift-giving is often associated with the act of giving something to someone and receiving thanks or praise in return. However, when you send an anonymous gift, you remove the expectation of a response. This can take the pressure off the recipient to reciprocate, allowing them to simply enjoy the gift and the thought behind it.
Anonymity also adds an air of mystery and intrigue to the gift-giving process. The recipient is left wondering who could have sent such a thoughtful present, which can create a sense of excitement and anticipation. Additionally, anonymity allows you to give a gift without any preconceived notions or biases. It allows the recipient to enjoy the gift for what it is, rather than who it's from.
Here are a few of the reasons we believe anonymous gifting has power:
- It increases your sense of connection to that person, even when they may not know it is you that sent them the gift. As you focus on that person, and celebrate all the good that they have to offer, you are strengthening your interconnectedness with them.
- You are also releasing oxytocin into your brain as you selflessly act in gratitude towards that person, which strengthens the bond you have with the recipient chemically.
- Anonymity ensures all of the attention is on the recipient. Our gifting experiences are designed to make someone feel appreciated and special, and allowing them to feel this emotion in a pure, complete way ensures they will feel the deepest sense of gratitude.
- It offers a more quiet experience than one that is created with a more self centered motive. The gratitude experience will allow you to give graciously, humbly and for the sole purpose of being kind,
- You will be filled with a priceless intrinsic reward. You have done something for someone knowing they are not going to pay you back, and you instead simply made their day.

Tips for Sending an Anonymous Gift
Sending an anonymous gift can be a little tricky, so here are a few tips to help you out:
1. Choose a reliable delivery service
Make sure you choose a reliable delivery option to ensure that your gift arrives safely and on time. We recommend Gratitude Gifted to send a gratitude gift!
2. Don't include any identifying information
Make sure you don't include any identifying information in the package, such as your name or address.
3. Consider the recipient's feelings
Think about how the recipient will feel when they receive the gift. Make sure it's something that will make them happy and won't cause any confusion or discomfort.
When to Reveal Your Identity
If you do decide to reveal your identity, it's important to do so in a thoughtful and respectful way. Here are a few tips:
1. Wait until the time is right
Choose a time when the recipient is in a good mood and open to conversation. Don't reveal your identity if they're feeling down or stressed.
2. Be respectful
Be respectful of the recipient's feelings and don't pressure them to react in a certain way.
3. Explain your reasoning
Explain why you chose to send an anonymous gift and why you decided to reveal your identity. Be honest and sincere in your explanation.
Of course, you may not want to ever reveal your identity, and that is more than okay too! The beauty of anonymous gifting is that you can create whatever sort of experience you'd like.
Please understand that we are not saying anonymous gifting is better per-say, but are instead stressing that anonymous gifting has power. While we love anonymous gifting, we also believe there is no wrong way to express gratitude! We encourage you to look for opportunities to express gratitude for those around you every single day. A thank you goes a long way, and gratitude has the power to change someone’s life.
