When I think about giving a gift to the one who hurt me, I see a complication.  He thinks he has done nothing wrong.  Whatever I give in the name of forgiveness will only serve to make him angry.  So, what do I do now?

You need not proclaim that you are giving him a gift.  You could, for example, donate a little money to an important charity and do so in his name.  You might say a kind word about him to one of your friends or family members.  Even these can be healing for you as you forgive in this way.
