Sure, you can give away a T-Shirt or Cup or stuff like that and probably not get into conflict with the TOS, but then you're just running an on-line shop + it requires you have an artist/designer to produce something worth giving away. And I'd say you still risk being slapped with 4.5 (Non-compete - thou shall not put stuff on the market to sell stuff outside the market).
Of course, enabling stuff in the game as thanks for the donation would run into 3.3 (bypassing the payment processor). Hasn't stopped lots of developers from doing just this, of course.
