You mean "contentino". It is something that you give people as a consolation prize, to make them content, happy.

Grazie. About Italki - is the only way to 'close' a question by selecting a 'best answer' ? Questo non sembra bello... Anyway, thanks!

I would say that it has *chiefly* a negative / pejorative meaning.

Grazie. I guess then just "consolation prize"
Or does it have the same 'flavor' as a 'booby prize' - also a consolation, but the word is negative / pejorative, so if it is used, it is not really a consolation! It is a prize just given to losers!
Pensieri?
