This would not work. You can't bill for physical goods that are actually shipped with a MID that is approved for recurring subscription of digital goods. You'd be shut down just for trying it. You'd need a separate MID or terminal ID at the very least. Also, sending someone a gift or thank you letter doesn't prove anything about the origin of a card-not-present transaction.
You could potentially use a gift like that to intimidate the cardholder and claim that it was proof, and it might be about 25% effective, but it wouldn't prevent chargebacks.
It just might make overturning them a little easier - but the chargeback would still be on your record and the fine for the dispute would stand. Additionally if overturning it failed, you'd now have 2 chargebacks and 2 fines, (second chargebacks) which on top of the cost of the item and shipping would most likely not be worth it.
