Abstract: A method and system for enabling selectively anonymous gifting. A gift requester may ask a trusted intermediary to post a request for a good, a set of goods, or a service, wherein the posting may or may not identify the requester. The intermediary may be identified and an approval of the gift request posting by the intermediary is implicitly or explicitly published. The giving party may also optionally choose to remain anonymous or may be identified to the intermediary, the gift requestor and/or a recipient of a requested gift. These objects may be enabled by an electronically intermediated social network, such as FACEBOOK™ social networking service, LINKEDIN™ social networking service, TWITTER™ social networking service and/or MEETUP™ social networking service.
