It’s just a small gift, and I’d like to hand it to her casually. But when giving someone something, is it better to let them know in advance?

I don’t think you need to contact her beforehand. However, it may not fit in her handbag, so I think it would be best to give it to her in the shopping bag from the store.
(Few people would probably hand over just the item itself.)

A gift of sweets sounds lovely ♡
Knowing that you really listened to what I said makes my heart flutter ♡
If you said, “These are the sweets you mentioned the other day. I want to try them too—can I have some with you?”
Would I end up thinking, “How cute ♡ I want to share them with you too”?

I think it’s easiest and least awkward to assume you’ll enjoy it together.
It can be a nice surprise and make for a fun date.
If she’ll be taking it home, it’s best to let her know in advance depending on its size.
Also, if it’s a lunchtime date, it would be inconsiderate to give her something large and heavy to carry home.
If she lives with her family, it may be better to avoid large items altogether.

If the date is ending early and the gift is fairly large, I think it’s considerate to be mindful of that. Otherwise, I don’t think you need to worry too much.
If it looks difficult for them to carry, you can simply say after giving it to them, “I’ll carry it until we say goodbye,” and hold it for them.
Rather than waiting too long and handing it over right before parting ways, it’s smoother to give it to them earlier. If you do, you’ll also have the option of sharing it together.

If it’s a small gift, I think it’s better not to mention it in advance—it makes it easier to give, and the recipient will probably be happier that way too.

Unless it’s something really serious, you probably don’t need to bring it up.
That said, if she seems to have plans to go somewhere after the date instead of heading home, it’s better to ask and make sure.
