Over the weekend, the Kardashians star shared a photo of a dazzling display of white flowers.
Along with them, she also showed off a single, small white candle.
Kim, 42, didn't tag anyone, nor reveal the source of the gifts, but she did include a white heart image.
And eagle-eyed fans noted the candle jar was labeled, "Jasmine."

Jasmine was the Disney princess Kim played during the now classic Saturday Night Live sketch she shared with Pete, 28, as Aladdin.
It was also a nickname the former SNL comedian gave her while they were together.
In a , that was all the evidence some fans needed to anticipate a reconciliation.
"So calculated, lol," one fan commented. "I’m telling ya’ll I feel a Kete reunion in my bones. It’s happening. MARK MY WORDS!"

Another agreed: "Girl yesss!! I swear I was wondering just last night if he was gonna send her flowers for her b-day even as just a friend gesture. I said he would!"
The speculation seems to be that Pete didn't necessarily send the candle, but that Kim is using it as a way to tag that the flowers are from him.
"I detect Pete here," one fan theorized. "I don’t think everything the Kardashians do is calculated, but some of it is.
"And Kim would never put that random little sad candle in the display unless there was a reason."
Still, one fan went deep with the conspiracy theory: "I have a theory that they are secretly still together, but keeping it under wraps bc it got way too much attention, especially from her toxic ex.
"And I’m certain that had a really negative impact on Pete’s mental health."
SECRET SLEEPOVER?
The fans may actually be on to something, however, especially after Kim and Pete reportedly shared a secret sleepover in her New York City hotel room two months after their breakup.
A source exclusively told The U.S. Sun that Kim made a discreet trip to the Big Apple to see her comedian ex-boyfriend while he was filming Bupkis - right after she returned from Paris Fashion Week.
"Pete visited Kim at her room and the next day Kim was seen sneaking out a back entrance of the hotel in a disguise and hopped in a waiting Escalade to visit Pete on Staten Island," a source said.
A rep for Kim did not return The U.S. Sun's request for comment.
The pair have remained friendly after a very amicable breakup and have even reportedly been texting each other in recent weeks.
SAYING GOODBYE
Kim and Pete split in August after nine months of dating.
At the time of the break-up, it was reported that the Kardashians star and former SNL funnyman had decided to just be friends.
"They have a lot of love and respect for each other," one insider says, "but found that the long distance and their demanding schedules made it really difficult to maintain a relationship."
A second source told that Kim and Pete's age difference contributed to their breakup.
“Pete is 28 and Kim is 42 — they are just in very different places at the moment,” the source told the outlet.
“Pete is totally spontaneous and impulsive and wants her to fly to New York, or wherever he is on a moment’s notice.

"But Kim has four kids and it isn’t that easy. She needs to focus on the kids.”
The source added that Kardashian was “totally exhausted by this relationship and other things going on in her life.”
