"I know it's almost a week after your birthday, but I wanted to get you this, to thank you for everything. I've found out lately that giving gifts is a good way to share my feelings with someone." She nearly winces at how corny that sounds to her, but is sufficiently distracted by the tiny bundle of amazement and wonder in her arms that she doesn't care.
"Oh! Yeah, my birthday was on the fifteenth, wasn't it? I completely forgot."

Kate will open the shoebox and look inside! That's what you do to presents! What were you expecting?
