There is no error as far as modern English is concerned. Generations ago you would have been taught never to end a sentence with a preposition ( eg 'to'). This would necessitate the complex and very formal structure 'This is the man to whom I gave the parcel'. Practically no-one uses this structure any more, and if you did it would make you sound very old-fashioned. Language always changes in this way.

What is a sentence for kids using the word parcel?

The mail man delivered the parcel. (meaning box) My mother opened the parcel after it was delivered. (box) Her father wanted to buy a parcel of land. (a portion of land) The problem of kids being disrespectful is part and parcel of a bigger problem. (The phrase "part and parcel" originates as a legal term to describe the land someone owns.) As I stood on a parcel of ground my 5th great-grandfather once owned, I held and looked through the parcel of family keepsakes that my parents handed down to me. We decided to bury a metal box containing a parcel of our family's heirlooms on a corner of the parcel of land that my 5th great-grandparents owned. I imagined they would like the pictures I placed into the box and wrapped it with a bow. I did not want the keepsakes parceled out to my siblings and cousins. (parceled out = split up among; divided up )
