Why do people send anonymous gifts?
Some anonymous gifts are made for religious reasons, as many traditions celebrate the humility of giving and expecting nothing in return. Some are the result of intrinsic altruism. Others are anonymous for less idealistic reasons, such as wishing to reduce solicitations by other nonprofit organizations.
It depends. Anonymously sending gifts can be sweet or creepy and it varies depending on the situation. Some gift recipients can find it sweet, especially when in a romantic relationship or a courtship stage. Although it can get creepy, especially if the gifts from the secret admirer are not appropriate.
A simple sentence such as this should suffice: '[XXXX Organization] confirms that you wish this gift to remain anonymous, and we will gratefully abide by your wishes.
Thank you for your recent generous anonymous gift to Public Invention. I don't know who you are or why you chose to remain anonymous, but I respect your wishes. Your gift expresses confidence in the ability of our society to improve itself by using one of our most powerful tools—technological innovation.

First class packages can be shipped anonymously with just stamps. Mail over 13 ounces using stamps has to be presented to a clerk at the retail counter at the post office.
The decision to give publicly or anonymously should not be made lightly. While most donors and charities prefer public giving, there are times and situations in which anonymous donations are prudent. Some donors are always public or always anonymous, while others just give occasional anonymous gifts.
How do you find out who sent you a gift?
You receive a gift through the mail but are not sure who it's from. What's the first thing to try? Whitmore advises to call the company it was sent from and see if they can give you any information about the sender. “There's a tracking number on every single package that goes out,” she said.
