Let's say it was someone's birthday, and you got too busy and didn't get around to giving them a present.

So what do you do now? Just forget it? Hope to do better next year?

You can do better right now.

Just get them a present and give it to them late.

Who would object to this?

Put your self in their place. Here it is your birthday, and you got a few presents, and you did something fun maybe, and then it's over. OK, so that was that.

Then, two or three days later, here comes your friend, all smiles, laughing at themself, and giving you one more present. Who would mind getting another present? NOBODY WOULD MIND.
