One more question related to 'for' goes as follows. Thank you for your explanation.
11. The nice gift for my birthday was a dictionary.
12. A nice gift for my birthday was a dictionary.
(Q1: Do we have to use 'the' or 'a' before 'nice gift' in the sentences? Q2: In #11 and #12, 'for my birthday' is used as an adverbial clause. Is it right? 'for my birthday' modifies 'A nice gift' in each sentence. Am I right?)

Q1. Either one works.
Q2. In 11 and 12, since the prepositional phrase occurs immediately after "gift" (a noun), it's being used as an adjective.
