Easy answer there: my ex-wife and I talked a lot about it. She's been helping this particular neighbor out in many ways. She told me that if I did it anonymously the neighbor would just think it was her anyway, so I might as well take my son and, if asked, tell her where the gifts came from and how my friends chipped in to help. That way my son gets to learn a valuable lesson and the neighbor gets to hear that complete strangers wanted to help her.
So, that's what I did. And I think it's better this way.
