Fred Rogers and Winnie the Pooh taught me more about being human than any religious book or Mormon leader. When I hear Rogers say, "I like you just the way you are," I feel The Spirit^^TM. BTW that is a message not taught in church. I was always told I was broken and not living up to who the church wanted me to be, not who I was.

There's a book he wrote called, "The World According to Mister Rogers: Important Thing to Remember" that is a real piece of thoughtful inspiration. Amazon link. He wrote a few others that absolutely put all the garbage mormon leaders have churned out to shame.

I could probably be your seemingly lonely neighbor...she sounds like me. Living alone, 30s, single, money enough to keep a decent roof over my head, and (I'd like to think) also very personable. So first, I'd like to say that you get props for not only wanting to do this but that you so sincerely wanted to do it that you asked people for assistance in choosing something right. Don't know ya from Adam, but you seem like a standup human to me. Just thought you should know... ;-)

Being me, if I were to get a secret Santa gift from someone, I'd likely be touched (especially if there was a card and a small explanation, with or without identifying my Santa). I believe the intention would trump the actual gift. But you know, its tricky.... steer clear of self-help books or a Thighmaster or a gift card to grocery store, lol.

You say she's very personable, but what do you gather from your interactions with her insofar as her intellect? Does she seem well-spoken and intelligent? Being an avid reader, I believe books make great gifts. To choose the right one, use what you already know about her. If your info is spotty or uncertain, may I suggest this book? She's in the appropriate age range to really appreciate it, as most of our generation probably loved Mr Rogers. Its cheap but sweet and semi-thoughtful.

If she's more of an airhead, you could always buy her something sparkly - anything but a ring.

Try to determine what sort of style she has and you will know what kind of gift she'd probably like. [An example: dresses like a hippie - a nice non-seasonal plant (like a cactus or jade); seems to dress like an indie/goth/emo/rocker type - perhaps some non-clothing items one might find in Hot Topic, Spencer Gifts, or Claire's Boutique; seems to be type A, usually a little gadget from The Sharper Image would probably do the trick]. Bonus: you wont break the bank for a semi-stranger lol.

You could also just fill up a Christmas stocking with various candies and treats. And if you change your mind about your anonymity, toss in a Christmas card and invite her over for some 'Nog. 'Bonus: even cheaper than the last one. If you choose to do the invite thing, you may very well have began a beautiful friendship - and thats a gift!

Or you could send her one of those pre-packaged gift sets from like Bed, Bath, & Beyond or Bath & Bodyworks. Usually, they com 'wrapped', as it were, in an actual gift such as a tote or a trinket box, etc.

Any one of these would brighten my day if I were her. Again, you're doing a very sweet thing - I hope Santa brings you something for your efforts. Kudos to you, Samaritan! Here's to hoping she pays it forward... :)


edit: major part of a sentence was missing...my brain moves faster than my typing.

This is something I remember when the world gets particularly ugly. It's a quote from Mr. Rogers that is a book I have (link below quote):

>"When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, "Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping."

>To this day, especially in times of "disaster," I remember my mother's words and I am always comforted by realizing that there are still so many helpers – so many caring people in this world."

https://www.amazon.com/World-According-Mister-Rogers-Important/dp/1401301061/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1468009350&sr=8-1&keywords=mr+rogers+wisdom

It comes up on his website next to a 1 minute video for adults on how to talk to kids when terrible & tragic things happen.

This quote always helps me calm down and shift my focus. There are always more people that step in and help than the number of original troublemakers.

I hope this brings you comfort.

Well it should.

Because cake is amazing.

I believe Mister Rogers also likes cake

Try this. It's an article that includes this quote: "Holy shit! It's Mister Fucking Rogers!" There are also books.

the /r/TheChurchOfRogers welcomes you all.

also they're defunding PBS again. Here's the man defending it one of the billions of times they've tried over the last 30-40 years.

And his last book if you don't own it already. Good for a cry. A must for every bookshelf.
