[massphatness]

I've gone back and forth on this issue in my head over the years. I've settled on "what's my motivation" as a guiding principle. As a result, I no longer announce my intentions because I don't really want it to be about me sending the gift as I do about the recipient receiving the gift. More often than not, I send along a note asking that we keep this between us (doesn't always work). And if I really don't want any credit for the bombing, I simply send anonymously through a third party because if I decide to show you some love, it should be all about you and not about me.
