I've bought coffee for the person in the drive through behind me a few times. I guess it's not totally anonymous, because they see my car, but usually I've driven away just as they reach the window.

Someone also said on this site that they bought scratch tickets and found the most beat up cars in the parking lot and put them on their windshield - I thought that was cool.

I think just leaving little surprises, like candy or something on a co-workers desk is always nice too.

I like to write cards that say things like:

"You have received the most beautiful yard of the neighborhood award!"

"You have received the most beautiful Christmas decorations of the neighborhood award!"

"You have received the most beautiful fall tree of the month award!"

"You have received the most beautiful flowers of the neighborhood award!"

"You have received the most wonderful yard of the month award!"

Then place them in the mailboxes at night...

What a great idea to give anonymously. I've done that and I found it very hard not to tell anyone about it. I guess you might say it was to keep the ego quiet. I still haven't told anyone. I like the card/award idea from Sharon and I think Alan is really giving. I think that some giving should be done totally anonymous without even mentioning it to anyone. I am going to give some of my art supplies to the 1st grade at the elementary school.

Here is a great idea from fellow giver nisipici. She left flowers in the lobby where she works and asked the receptionist to call her co-worker and tell her some flowers were there for her so she wouldn't know where it came from. check out her blog.

Pay for another table at a restaurant.
Pay for the coffee order at a drive through.
Let a person go ahead of you in a line (I did this at the lab for a woman who looked scared and sick)
