present 3 noun a birthday present: gift, donation, offering, contribution; informal freebie; formal benefaction. CHOOSE THE RIGHT WORD present, bonus, donation, gift, gratuity, lagniappe, largesse What's the difference between a birthday present and a Christmas gift? Both words refer to something given as an expression of friendship, affection, esteem, etc. But gift is a more formal term, suggesting something of monetary value that is formally bestowed on an individual, group, or institution (a gift to the university ). Present, on the other hand, implies something of less value that is an expression of goodwill (a housewarming present; a present for the teacher ). Largesse is a somewhat pompous term for a very generous gift that is conferred in an ostentatious or condescending way, often on many recipients (the king's largesse; the largesse of our government ). A gratuity is associated with tipping and other forms of voluntary compensation for special attention or service above and beyond what is included in a charge (known for her generous gratuities, the duchess enjoyed watching the waiters compete with each other to serve her ), while a lagniappe is a Southern word, used chiefly in Louisiana and southeast Texas, for either a gratuity or a small gift given to a customer along with a purchase. If you give money or anything else as a gift to a philanthropic, charitable, or religious organization, it is known as a donation (donations for the poor ). But if your employer gives you money at the end of the year in addition to your regular salary, it isn't a Christmas gift; it's a Christmas bonus. These notes show fine distinctions in meaning between closely related synonyms to help you find the best word.
