I believe it's quite clear Galadriel didn't give Feanor her hair because Feanor wasn't lets say as "nice" or "pleasant" as Gimli. Galadriel saw that Feanor didn't want her hair like Gimli did. Gimli wanted it so he could cherish it and think of the lady. I don't know much about Feanor except he was full of pride and arrogance.

Someone earlier said it was to honor Gimli, I agree, Gimli was an honorable person to have in the fellowship. He was a good companion and even Aragorn was impressed of his skills with the axe. As I said earlier I believe Galadriel saw the compassion in Gimli and it was a gift he wanted to cherish and not want for a prize, as I believe Feanor did.
