People need to learn to leave others alone after a breakup. I don't care how well intended someone is, when you break up you need to give each other a lot of space and not be poking with little gifts, text messages, FB likes, whatever. There is time for being friends in the future if circumstances allow for it.
I understand your point that's why I'm not sure if I should or shouldn't do it but there's a part of me saying that I should. That I should show appreciation for all the good things he did. Im not saying hes perfect but he treated me well. I just want him to have it then I wouldn't bother him anymore.

I don't think he's talking to someone because we only broke up two weeks ago and he's a really busy guy. If he is, I don't think he would enter in a relationship that quick. If he wants me back, he would have made it known like what he did in the past. Thats why I want him to have this present because I know now that the break up is for good. We both realized that its not going to work. No matter how much we like each other, we are not meant to be together.

Should I text him first saying I will mail him a present? I don't want him to think I want him back. The present is just a sign of appreciation of the good things he did. I could write a short note? But what should I put on there?

I'd just put a note in with the present...

"Hope you had a great Christmas. All the best in the new year. Cheers."

I thought I was going to click on this thread and get a discussion about Christmas sex.

Instead, it's about a gift that isn't sex.

Well..I guess it could be if you mail a toy or something...

Seriously.

If my GF gave me a gift and I didn't get Christmas sex I'd be pretty depressed.

"merry Christmas! I got you a watch!" I mean, yeah it's a nice gift, but come on, this is just the prelude to bumping uglies!

No, if you really felt it was over you would just forget about trying to contact him just to give him a present, that's just an excuse to talk to, or see him again, and he'll probably think that too,.
