Default a share of present

Say a friend of mine has given me delicious chocolates.
I'm giving some of them to another friend of mine.
Which works?
1. Here is a share of present for you.
2. Here is a share of a present for you.
3. Here is a share of the present for you.
Thank you.

Default Re: a share of present

Well, I wouldn't use those particular examples in that context, but if you're asking which of the three works best, I'd have to choose 3.

3. Here is a share of the present for you.

Thank you very much. If there is a better way of saying the same thing, would you please let me know?

You're welcome.

What about?

Max: Would you like some? They're a gift and I would like to share them with you.
Sam: Sure! Thanks.
