What Name of the long scarf like vestment the priest wear around his neck?

It is called a stole and is worn by deacons, priests, and bishops alike. However, the way they wear it is different. Priests and deacons wear it in the same way - in the "scarf-like" fashion you mentioned. Conversely, deacons wear it as a sash, going around their left shoulder, chest, and back. It signifies authority in the Church, as priests, deacons, and bishops guide and teach us about Christ and the Church. "[...]the stole is only used, and must be used, at a function peculiar to the deacon, priest, and bishop, a function that presupposes the order (e.g., at the celebration of Mass, when the Blessed Sacrament is touched, when the sacraments are administered), but not for example, in processions or at Vespers" (link added). However, a bishop may wear a stole during Vespers. He is an exception.

What would be an appropriate gift for a Catholic deaconate ordination candidate who will become a Catholic priest?

Deacons who will become priests need all kinds of things, most of them very expensive. I would check with the deacon's family and see if they are going together to get him a paten and chalice, or a set of vestments, a sick call set, etc. and see if you could go in with some others on purchasing one of these items. If not, ask the family what he still needs. Deacons will mostly be performing weddings, baptisms, and preaching at Mass, for their deacon year, and all they need for that is vestments, mainly stoles, transitional deacons rarely invest in a full set of vestments that they will be wearing for less than a year.
