[ Bernie delivers this in-person, but is also too shy to do it herself, so... She makes sure to leave it in his room in Dorothea's apartment during her latest, if rare, visit. It's nothing special, just a small box tied up with a satin ribbon.
Inside, among layers of delicate colored tissue, is a new pair of unlined gloves (black) and, under that, an iris made of beads and thread.
Hidden under that is a simple card, scrawled in purple ink and Bernadetta's unmistakable script: ]
Happy Birthday, Hubert! I hope you find the gloves useful, and I'm sorry this pin took so long. I think I should have given one to you ages ago, but things kept getting in the way... Sorry! :(
I hope you have a good birthday! Please make sure to eat something delicious today!

But did you mean what you said, that you're 'mine'?
