In my forgiving my ex-partner, if I give him a physical gift of some kind, might he mistake this as a sign that I want to reconcile?  I actually do not want to reconcile, but your Process Model of Forgiveness suggests giving a gift, which kind of scares me.

You can give an indirect gift to your ex-partner, such as a kind word about him to others.  You could consider donating a little money to a charity on his behalf and not inform him of this.  In other words, you can give a gift that is not physical (in the case of a kind word to others) and not given directly to him.
