| Oct 25, 2012 at 18:39 | comment | added | kurkevan | @KristinaLopez - the context is such as in the following sentence: "When the president visited our school, we presented him with a gold-plated American flag pin as an honorary gift." | |
| Oct 25, 2012 at 18:09 | comment | added | Kristina Lopez | @kurkevan, perhaps you can choose the reason for honoring the person as the "title" of the gift. For example: if it is for a volunteer, you can call it a "Thank You" gift or a gift to recognize outstanding service in the community. | |

| Oct 25, 2012 at 15:56 | comment | added | Kris | The first page consists of the term exclusively in "commercial usage", though. Try COCA instead. | |
| Oct 25, 2012 at 15:50 | comment | added | kurkevan | @kris - "honorary gifts" turns up 47k Google results, while "gifts for honor" doesn't seem to be used except in phrases such as "gifts for honor students." Your comment is actually the second result in that search! | |
| Oct 25, 2012 at 15:45 | comment | added | Kris | No, it is not. Gifts for Honor, maybe. There could be a better term even. | |
