Since Midoriya is spending Christmas with Paul and Kaworu (and all the poisonous decorative seasonal plants Paul has festooned the apartment with), he has the opportunity to present his gifts in person. Paul's is no great secret to someone discerning looking for clues; Midoriya sets the cardboard box down carefully, and it's slightly open for ventilation with a faint earthy smell.
Inside a glass terrarium are a bit of carefully harvested earth and a piece of log, both covered in moss. It sports a healthy cluster of mushrooms. He made sure it was a species Paul knew.
There's dinner and Christmas cake. And for New Year's, he's gotten them all Japanese sweets, satsumas, and green tea to have together.
Between Christmas Day and New Year's, Paul takes advantage of the many and multiplying poisonous plants he's strung through both of their apartments to bestow so many kisses on Midoriya and Kaworu combined that his lips start to chap (and any explanation that it might instead be the dry winter air is soundly rejected). The terrarium takes up a place of the highest honour in a shaded corner of his bedroom, and Paul can be found meditating in front of it more than any other spot.
